SemanticCommit is a mixed-initiative interface that detects semantic conflicts when users add new intent to natural-language intent specifications and lets users resolve them locally or with AI. It uses a knowledge graph-based retrieval-augmented generation pipeline (custom KG + LLM edge induction) and boosts recall over naive string-replace or full-document rewrite. The prototype and a 12-participant within-subjects study (vs OpenAI Canvas) show half the participants adopt impact-analysis workflows and report greater control with no increase in workload.
