CI

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

  1. Stage the files you want to commit (via git add or the VS Code Source Control panel)
  2. Click the robot button in the commit message input box, or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and run AutoPR: Generate Commit Message
  3. On first run, you will be prompted for your Anthropic API key — it is stored securely and never asked again
  4. The commit message is written directly into the input box — review it and commit when ready

Configuration

Setting Default Description
autopr.model claude-opus-4-6 Claude model used for generation. Switch to claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 for faster, lower-cost generation.

To change the model, open Settings (Cmd+,) and search for autopr.
