What's Wrong?

Reopening the same issue as before. It is still occurring with the latest version. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24881

The commit command doesn't work when there are no commits yet. Here's what happens:

/commit-commands:commit
⎿ Error: Shell command failed for pattern "!git log --oneline -10": [stderr]
fatal: your current branch 'main' does not have any commits yet

What Should Happen?

It should help the user create an initial commit.
