Quick brief

Use this skill when an agent has changed a repository and needs a repeatable local quality gate before proposing a patch or opening a PR. The operator workflow is: install prek, reuse the repo’s pre-commit configuration, run the selected hooks, inspect pass/fail output, and fix or report remaining issues. Invoke this instead of relying on ad hoc manual lint commands when the repository already centralizes checks in pre-commit-style hooks or when an agent needs one fast multi-language gate across formatting, linting, security, and policy checks. Scope boundary: this is not a generic Git hooks product card; the skill is specifically the agent/operator loop for running configured quality hooks and using the results as a pre-handoff quality gate.
