commit-commands

What it is

The Commit Commands Plugin automates common git operations so you switch context less and type fewer commands by hand. You run a single slash command instead of several git commands. The plugin ships with three commands: /commit, /commit-push-pr, and /clean_gone. It is authored by Anthropic and is at version 1.0.0. /commit creates a git commit with an automatically generated message based on your staged and unstaged changes. It works in these steps: - Analyzes the current git status and reviews your changes. - Examines recent commit messages so the new message matches your repository's style. - Drafts the message, stages the relevant files and creates the commit. The drafted message follows conventional commit practices and includes Claude Code attribution. The command also avoids committing files with secrets, such as .env and credentials.json. /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 with gh pr create and gives you the PR URL. It analyzes all commits in the branch, not just the latest. The PR description includes a 1-3 bullet summary of changes, 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, then removes any worktrees associated with them. After that it deletes the [gone] branches and reports what was removed, or tells you that no cleanup was needed. It handles both regular branches and worktree branches, and it removes worktrees before deleting branches.

Who it's for

• Developers using Claude Code who want to commit without writing commit messages by hand
• Developers who want to commit, push and open a GitHub pull request in one step
• Developers whose local branch list is cluttered with branches already deleted on the remote
• Teams that want commit messages to match their repository's existing style

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 (needed for /commit-push-pr)
