1. In Claude Code, just ask: it reads your staged changes. Elsewhere, paste the diff or a list of what changed.
2. You get a summary line under about 72 characters, plus a line or two on why if it helps.
3. For a PR, you get what changed, why, and how to check it, following your repo's PR template if there is one.
4. It follows your repo's style, like fix(login): or a ticket prefix, and doesn't commit unless you ask.

It describes only what's in the diff. It won't say tests were added or passed unless they were.

Explain the architecture or folder structure

Say something likeExplain our folder structure for a new teammate

1. In Claude Code, ask with the project open. Elsewhere, paste the folder tree (tree -L 2) or a screenshot of it.

Say something likeClean up the comments in billing.py, leave the code alone

1. Attach or paste the file, or ask in Claude Code with the project open.

Licence headers, tool directives like noqa, commented-out code, TODOs, and @param names are left as they are.

Write clearer error messages and app text

Say something likeMake these error messages friendlier

1. Paste the messages, button labels, or translation file (like en.json), and say what the code does if it isn't clear.
2. Each error message says what happened and what the person can do now.
3. Buttons say what they do, and empty screens say what to do next.
4. In a translation file, only the English values change. Keys and placeholders like {name} stay exactly.
