I agree on the commit messages not being ideal, though a bit of by-hand rewording goes a long way.

Recently let Claude Code handle some commit history clean up: split a couple commits, reordered some, and identified some that could/should have been fixups, and reduced the number of commits from ~70 down to ~40. Very happy with the results and time savings.

FWIW, here’s my interactive rebase skill: https://github.com/cstrahan/claude-plugins/blob/main/skills/...
