Pro was not sufficient when i started to: Use git worktrees, type every command in plain english in CC.

For example “commit and push”

How good is it at writing commit messages out of interest?

Not great by default, it just lists the files that were added or modified and "signs" itself at the bottom. I see no value in its commit messages compared to just scrolling down and seeing the actual diff.

You can make it somewhat better by adding instructions in CLAUDE.md, but I did notice those instructions getting ignored from time to time unless you "remind it".

I have a line in my claude file that says “**Never** list files in git commit messages.’ due to Claude’s propensity to do that. So funny.
