AutoPR
A VS Code extension that uses Claude AI to automatically generate commit messages from your staged changes.
Features
- Generates a commit message from your staged git diff using Claude AI
- Follows the Conventional Commits specification
- One-click button in the Source Control input box
- API key stored securely in your OS keychain — never in plaintext
Requirements
Usage
- Stage the files you want to commit (via
git add or the VS Code Source Control panel)
- Click the robot button in the commit message input box, or open the Command Palette (
Cmd+Shift+P) and run AutoPR: Generate Commit Message
- On first run, you will be prompted for your Anthropic API key — it is stored securely and never asked again
- The commit message is written directly into the input box — review it and commit when ready
