claude-code-autocommit

Generate Conventional Commits messages from git changes in Claude Code.

Two installation methods available:

• MCP Server - Full integration with tools for analyzing changes, generating messages, and executing commits
• Slash Command - Lightweight /autocommit command that works directly in Claude Code

Installation

Option 1: Slash Command (Recommended for simplicity)

Install the /autocommit slash command:

# Install globally
npm install -g @theoribbi/claude-code-autocommit

# Add the slash command to your user commands
claude-code-autocommit-slash install

# Or install for a specific project only
claude-code-autocommit-slash install --project

Then use in Claude Code:

/autocommit              # Commit staged changes
/autocommit --all        # Stage all changes and commit
/autocommit "message"    # Commit with custom message

Option 2: MCP Server (Full integration)

The MCP server provides three tools for more granular control over the commit process.

Using npx (recommended)

Add to your settings file (~/.claude/settings.json for global, or .claude/settings.json for project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autocommit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theoribbi/claude-code-autocommit"]
    }
  }
}

Manual installation

npm install -g @theoribbi/claude-code-autocommit

Then add to your settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autocommit": {
      "command": "claude-code-autocommit"
    }
  }
}

Note: After modifying the settings file, restart Claude Code for the changes to take effect.

Slash Command Usage

The /autocommit command analyzes your staged changes and generates a conventional commit message.

/autocommit              # Generate commit for staged changes
/autocommit --all        # Stage all changes first, then commit
/autocommit "fix typo"   # Use custom message instead of generating one

The command will:

1. Analyze the git diff
2. Determine the appropriate commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
3. Detect the scope from directory structure
4. Generate a descriptive commit message
5. Show you the proposed message and ask for confirmation
6. Execute the commit

• include_unstaged (boolean, default: false) - Include unstaged changes
• cwd (string, optional) - Working directory

Returns:

• File paths with status (A/M/D/R) and change counts
• Total additions/deletions
• File extensions and top directories
• Suggested commit type and scope

generate_commit_message

Generates a Conventional Commits message based on the changes.

Parameters:

• type (string, optional) - Override commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.)

• description (string, optional) - Override description
• breaking (boolean, default: false) - Mark as breaking change
• include_staged (boolean, default: true) - Include staged changes
• include_unstaged (boolean, default: false) - Include unstaged changes
• cwd (string, optional) - Working directory

Returns:

• Full commit message
• Message components (type, scope, description)
• Confidence level (high/medium/low)

execute_commit

Executes a git commit with the provided message.

Parameters:

• message (string, required) - The commit message

• Error message (on failure)

Type Detection Heuristics

Pattern	Type
*.test.ts, __tests__/	test
*.md, docs/, README	docs
.github/workflows/	ci
package.json, tsconfig.json	build
*.css, .prettier*	style
.gitignore, *.lock	chore
New files in src/	feat
Modifications	fix

Scope Detection

Scopes are extracted from directory structure:

• src/auth/login.ts → scope: auth
• packages/core/ → scope: core
• Multiple directories → no scope
