Commit Message Generator for Claude Code

Click the ✨ button in the Source Control view and a commit message for your changes is written into the commit box.

It runs through the Claude Code CLI you are already logged into, so there is no API key to set up.

Features

  • One click: a ✨ button in the Source Control title bar.
  • Streams in: the message appears in the commit box as it is written, usually in about 3 seconds.
  • Stop any time: while it is writing, the button becomes ⏹.
  • Staged-aware: if you have staged changes, only those are described. Otherwise it describes all changes, including new files.
  • Matches your style: your recent commit subjects are included, so the message follows your conventions. The format is Conventional Commits (feat: …, fix: …).
  • Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, WSL and Remote SSH.

Requirements

  • Claude Code installed and logged in (claude must work in a terminal).
  • Git.
