Pre-Commit Hook Setup
Automate code quality enforcement with pre-commit hooks that run before every commit. Catch linting errors, formatting issues, and security problems before they enter your codebase.
Usage
Ask about setting up pre-commit hooks for your project, choosing which checks to run, or optimizing hook performance.
Examples
- "Set up Husky and lint-staged for my TypeScript project"
- "What checks should I run in pre-commit hooks?"
- "My pre-commit hooks are too slow — how do I speed them up?"
Guidelines
- Use lint-staged to only check files that are being committed
- Run formatters first, then linters, then type checks in that order
- Keep total hook execution under 10 seconds to avoid developer frustration
- Include a way to bypass hooks for emergency situations
- Version control your hook configuration so the whole team uses it
