commit-commands

What it is

The Commit Commands Plugin (name: commit-commands, version 1.0.0, author Anthropic) automates common git operations. Its goal is to cut down on context switching and on running commands by hand. Instead of typing several git commands, you run a single slash command to handle your workflow. The plugin provides three commands: /commit, /commit-push-pr, and /clean_gone. /commit creates a git commit with a message generated from your staged and unstaged changes. It: - analyzes the current git status - reviews both staged and unstaged changes - examines recent commit messages so it can match your repository's style - drafts a commit message, stages the relevant files, and creates the commit It follows conventional commit practices. It avoids committing files with secrets such as .env and credentials.json. It also includes Claude Code attribution in the commit message. /commit-push-pr runs the full workflow in one step: - creates a new branch if you are currently on main - stages and commits your changes - pushes the branch to origin - creates a pull request using gh pr create - gives you the PR URL It analyzes all commits in the branch, not just the latest one. The PR description it writes includes a summary of changes (1-3 bullet points), a test plan checklist, and Claude Code attribution. /clean_gone removes local branches that have been deleted from the remote repository. It: - lists local branches to find those with [gone] status - removes any worktrees associated with those branches - deletes the [gone] branches - reports what was removed, or that no cleanup was needed It handles both regular branches and worktree branches. It removes worktrees safely before deleting branches.

Who it's for

• Developers using Claude Code who want to commit changes without writing commit messages by hand
• Developers working with feature branches who want to commit, push, and open a GitHub pull request in one step
• Anyone whose local branch list is cluttered with stale branches after PRs are merged and remote branches deleted
• Users who want to reduce context switching and manual git command execution

Requirements

Setup

1. Plugin availability

   This plugin is included in the Claude Code repository. The commands are automatically available when using Claude Code.

2. Install GitHub CLI (for /commit-push-pr)

   If /commit-push-pr fails to create a PR, install the GitHub CLI. Use brew on macOS, or see the GitHub CLI installation page (https://cli.github.com/).

   bashCopy

   brew install gh

3. Authenticate GitHub CLI

   Authenticate gh so /commit-push-pr can create pull requests. The repository must also have a GitHub remote.

   bashCopy

   gh auth login

# - Commit your changes
# - Push to remote
# - Open a PR with summary and test plan
# - Give you the PR URL to review

# After PRs are merged and remote branches are deleted
/clean_gone

# Claude will:
