We should have some format to explain what the assistant was used for, but not sure if a single line after the tag is going to cut it. I agree it is the most simple, but I have personally used an LLM for a patch where the explanation of what exactly it was put to do would have been very hard to fit in a format like this without significant loss of information. So, maybe below the ---? I guess that most maintainers don't want this kind of explanation to be part of the commit message (or maybe they do?) Best, Jori.
