Quick brief

Use this skill when an agent needs to wire up or run a repo-wide pre-commit gate before code review, CI, or handoff. It is a good fit for projects that need one repeatable command to run formatters, linters, secret checks, and other file hygiene rules across many file types.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke it instead of using pre-commit as a raw product when the job is operational and bounded: install the hook stack, run it against staged files or the full repo, interpret failures, and help repair the repository until the hook suite passes.

This stays skill-shaped because the scope is not โ€œuse the pre-commit framework in general.โ€ The job is specifically to enforce repo hygiene through hook execution and remediation loops.
