hunkify

Split your staged changes into atomic, well-scoped commits — powered by Claude.

Instead of cramming everything into a single git commit -m "wip", hunkify parses your staged diff hunk by hunk, asks Claude to group them by intent, and produces conventional commits (with gitmojis) ready to apply.

• Hunk-level analysis — each change block is treated independently, so one file can span multiple commits if needed.
• AI-powered grouping via Claude Haiku 4.5 — fast, cheap, accurate.
• Gitmoji + conventional commits — :sparkles: feat(scope): …, :bug: fix(scope): …, etc.
• Interactive review — confirm, edit, or skip each proposed commit before it's created.
• Free-form context argument — pass a ticket ID, feature name, or any directive to steer the output.
• Safe rollback — if anything fails mid-run, your original staged state is restored.

• Ruby ≥ 2.7
• An Anthropic API key

gem install hunkify

Or add to your Gemfile:

gem "hunkify"

Export your Anthropic API key (add to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

git add .
hunkify

With a context hint (ticket ID, feature name, or any free-form directive):

hunkify my_ticket_id
hunkify "user onboarding"
hunkify "focus on refactoring"

1. hunkify parses your staged diff into hunks.
2. Claude proposes a grouping into logical commits.
3. For each proposed commit, you can confirm, edit the message, skip, or quit.
4. After a final confirmation, the plan is applied — each commit is created via git apply --cached.

If anything goes wrong during apply, the original staged state is restored.
