lazygit-custom-command-creator

A Claude Code skill that helps you create lazygit custom commands with conflict-aware keybinding selection.

What it does

When you ask Claude Code to create a lazygit custom command, this skill:

1. Fetches the latest lazygit docs directly from the repository — custom command syntax, available keys, default keybindings, and template variable definitions
2. Reads your existing config to understand your style and avoid key conflicts
3. Selects a non-conflicting key by checking the target context defaults, global keybindings, and your existing custom commands
4. Designs the command — decides whether to keep it inline or extract to a shell script based on complexity
5. Generates the YAML snippet (and shell script if needed) ready to add to your config.yml

Usage

Just ask Claude Code to create a lazygit custom command. The skill triggers on mentions of "lazygit custom command", "lazygit keybinding", or lazygit config editing.

Examples:

"Create a lazygit custom command to copy the selected commit's short hash to clipboard"
"Add a keybinding in the submodules context to run git submodule update --remote"
"I want a lazygit command to create a PR with gh, prompting for title and body"

Key features

• Always up-to-date: Fetches lazygit documentation on every invocation via curl, so it stays accurate even when lazygit updates its keybindings or template API
• Conflict-aware key selection: Checks against context-specific defaults, global keybindings, and your existing custom commands — proactively suggests available keys
• Scope awareness: Questions whether template variables are actually needed and suggests single-item / bulk variants when appropriate
• Script extraction: Automatically determines when command logic should be extracted to a shell script, following best practices (absolute paths, set -euo pipefail, executable permissions)
