It is a small milestone, but a meaningful one for an open-source developer tool.
I built this plugin to solve a simple workflow problem: writing good commit messages without leaving the IDE.
The plugin adds a Claude button directly to the PyCharm / IntelliJ commit message toolbar. When clicked, it collects the selected changes, builds a unified diff, sends it to Claude, and writes the generated commit message back into the commit field.
It supports Claude Code CLI mode, Anthropic API key mode, custom languages, configurable models, and extra team instructions for commit conventions.
For me, the most interesting part is not just the download number. It is seeing that a small tool built from a real developer frustration can actually reach other developers.

Feedback is welcome, especially from JetBrains IDE users and developers experimenting with Claude Code or AI-assisted workflows.
