setup-pre-commit
Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Use when user wants to add pre-commit hooks, set up Husky, configure lint-staged, or add commit-time formatting/typechecking/testing.
npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill setup-pre-commit --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Setup Pre-Commit Hooks ## What This Sets Up - **Husky** pre-commit hook - **lint-staged** running Prettier on all staged files - **Prettier** config (if missing) - **typecheck** and **test** scripts in the pre-commit hook ## Steps ### 1. Detect package manager Check for `package-lock.json` (npm), `pnpm-lock.yaml` (pnpm), `yarn.lock` (yarn), `bun.lockb` (bun). Use whichever is present. Default to npm if unclear. ### 2. Install dependencies Install as devDependencies: ``` husky lint-staged prettier ``` ### 3. Initialize Husky ```bash npx husky init ``` This creates `.husky/` dir and adds `prepare: "husky"` to package.json. ### 4. Create `.husky/pre-commit` Write this file (no shebang needed for Husky v9+): ``` npx lint-staged npm run typecheck npm run test ``` **Adapt**: Replace `npm` with detected package manager. If repo has no `typecheck` or `test` script in package.json, omit those lines and tell the user. ### 5. Create `.lintstagedrc` ```json { "*": "prettier --ignore-unknown --write" } ``` ### 6. Create `.prettierrc` (if missing) Only create if no Prettier config exists. Use these defaults: ```json { "useTabs": false, "tabWidth": 2, "printWidth": 80, "singleQuote": false, "tr

What does the setup-pre-commit skill do?
Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Use when user wants to add pre-commit hooks, set up Husky, configure lint-staged, or add commit-time formatting/typechecking/testing.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill setup-pre-commit --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From stevesolun/ctx, a repository with 569 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
