Write commit messages with the coding agent you already use (Claude Code by default). One click per repository, so it always lands in the right repo, even in multi-root workspaces.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Write commit messages with the coding agent you already use.
Click ✨ on a repository in the Source Control view and the message shows up in that repository's commit box. Claude Code is the default, and any CLI that reads a prompt from stdin works.
Built for multi-root workspaces: each repository gets its own button, so the message always goes to the repository you clicked. You never have to pick a folder.
Features
The right repository, every time. The button sits on each repository header. Nested repositories resolve to the innermost one.
Matches your history. The agent sees your last 15 commit subjects, so it follows your scopes, tone and language.
Staged first. It uses staged changes. If nothing is staged, it uses all changes, including new files, and tells you.
Conventional Commits by default, or the repository's own style.
Bring your own agent.claude -p, claude -p --model haiku, or any other CLI.
Cancellable, with a configurable timeout.
Usage
(Optional) Stage the changes you want to commit.
Click ✨ on the repository header in Source Control.
Review the message and commit.
You can also run Agent Commit: Generate Commit Message from the Command Palette.
Requirements
A coding-agent CLI on your PATH that reads the prompt from stdin and prints only the answer. The default, Claude Code, must already be signed in.
