*Watch omni-dev transform messy commits into professional ones with AI-powered analysis*
30-Second Demo
Transform your commit messages and create professional PRs with AI intelligence:
✨ Key Features
- 🤖 **AI-Powered Intelligence**: Claude AI analyzes your code changes to
suggest meaningful commit messages and PR descriptions
- 🧠 **Contextual Awareness**: Understands your project structure,
conventions, and work patterns
- 🔍 **Comprehensive Analysis**: Deep analysis of commits, branches, and
file changes
- ✏️ **Smart Amendments**: Safely improve single or multiple commit messages
- 🚀 **PR Creation**: Generate professional pull requests with AI-powered
descriptions
- 📦 **Automatic Batching**: Handles large commit ranges intelligently
- 🎯 **Conventional Commits**: Automatic detection and formatting
- 🌐 **Browser Bridge**: Drive HTTP requests through an authenticated browser
tab without exfiltrating cookies or tokens
- 🗂️ **Worktrees View**: One live view of every repo and git worktree open
across all your VS Code windows
- 🛡️ **Safety First**: Working directory validation, protection against
amending commits already in remote main branches, and error recovery
- ⚡ **Fast & Reliable**: Built with Rust for memory safety and performance
🚀 Quick Start
Installation
Pre-built binaries are attached to each
release. The Linux ones
(omni-dev-linux.tar.gz, omni-dev-linux-arm64.tar.gz) are dynamically linked
and need **glibc 2.35 or newer** (Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12 qualify). On an older
host, such as RHEL 9 or Amazon Linux 2023 (glibc 2.34), they fail in the loader
with version GLIBC_2.xx' not found; build from source with
cargo install omni-dev instead. The release workflow fails if a binary needs
more than that floor (docs/RELEASE.md).
**Next step:** see Getting Started — a
10-minute walkthrough from authentication to your first AI-improved
commit. (For just the API-key reference, see
Authentication.)
Shell Completion
omni-dev completions prints a completion script to stdout for
bash, zsh, fish, powershell, or elvish. The quickest path is bash
per-user:
See docs/shell-completion.md for per-shell install
recipes, the $fpath/compinit setup zsh requires, and troubleshooting.
🆚 How omni-dev Compares
omni-dev sits in two adjacent spaces — AI commit-message tooling and
Atlassian/dev-workflow MCP servers. The tables below contrast the
incumbents on the dimensions a first-time reader is most likely to weigh.
In every cell, ✅ means full / native support, ⚠ means partial or
available only with caveats, and ❌ means not supported — and omni-dev's
own limitations are flagged just as honestly (the ⚠ marks in its own
columns).
Beyond these two niches, omni-dev also ships a supervised **daemon** that
hosts a **browser bridge** (an authenticated proxy that runs requests
through a logged-in browser tab for SSO-gated dashboards such as Grafana
and Loki), a **Snowflake** SQL service (one external-browser SSO session
reused for concurrent queries), and a **worktrees** registry (one live view of
the repos open across every VS Code window), plus a local append-only
**request log** (omni-dev log). These have no direct incumbent in either
table below, so
they are called out here rather than scored against tools that don't aim
for them.

| Rewrite existing commits in a range | ✅ twiddle | ❌ pre-commit only | ❌ pre-commit only |

vs Atlassian-workflow MCP servers
omni-dev's MCP server also exposes Git tools (commit analysis, twiddling,
PR creation), Datadog tools, and an ai_chat proxy — surfaces the
Atlassian-focused servers don't aim for. The table below compares only
