Russ McKendrick is an independent software publisher operating through GitHub, where a small but focused catalog of developer-oriented tools is maintained and distributed. The publisher's range centers on the intersection of artificial intelligence and everyday software development workflows, offering utilities designed to reduce friction and improve visibility for engineers who work with AI-assisted tooling. The flagship command-line product, aicommit, is a fast, opinionated CLI written in Rust and installed under the command name aic. It generates Git commit messages automatically by analyzing staged changes, and it can also review staged diffs, helping developers produce clearer, more consistent commit histories with less manual effort while catching potential issues before code is committed. This makes it well suited to individual developers and teams seeking to standardize commit quality across repositories. Complementing this is Token Use, a desktop application that tracks token consumption and associated costs for local AI coding tools. As AI-powered assistants increasingly bill by usage, this type of monitoring software serves developers, freelancers, and organizations that need to understand and control spending on language model interactions, providing transparency into where resources are consumed. Together, the two products reflect a coherent focus on the practical realities of AI-augmented development: one tool streamlines how AI integrates into version control routines, while the other addresses the financial and operational oversight that AI adoption introduces. Distributed openly via GitHub, the catalog follows the conventions of modern open-source publishing, making the software accessible for inspection, contribution, and installation by the wider developer community. The range remains compact at two packages, but it addresses distinct and increasingly common use cases in contemporary development environments.
