Claude Commit

Generate Conventional Commit messages with a single click using Claude AI — directly from the VS Code Source Control panel.

Requirements

• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated (claude --version must work in your terminal)

Usage

1. Stage your changes (git add)
2. Click the ✨ sparkle icon in the Source Control title bar
3. The commit message field is filled automatically

How it works

The extension pipes your staged diff (git diff --staged) to the Claude CLI and extracts a single-line Conventional Commit message from the response.

Model used: claude-haiku-4-5 for fast responses.

Conventional Commits format

type(scope): description

Supported types: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, style, ci, perf, build, revert

Local installation

npm install
npm run compile
npm run package
# Then in VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P → Extensions: Install from VSIX...
