About this resource

Knowledge Freshness

This capability pack is pinned to documentation verified on 2026-04-11.

Retrieval Sources

Core Workflow

  1. Define minimum local gate set for the repository type.
  2. Keep hooks fast and deterministic to avoid bypass behavior.
  3. Enforce commit message standard with clear error messages.
  4. Align local checks with CI checks to prevent drift.
  5. Document safe bypass conditions for emergency workflows.

Overview

This skill focuses on practical local governance: catch avoidable issues early while preserving fast contributor loops.

Capability Scope

  • Hook design and prioritization
  • Runtime/latency optimization
  • Commit message policy enforcement
  • Contributor ergonomics and onboarding
  • Governance drift controls

Compatibility

Native

  • Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via SKILL.md.
  • Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style SKILL.md content as reusable workflow instructions.

Manual Adaptation

  • Gemini CLI: native skill usage via .gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md where supported.
  • Cursor: use the generated .cursor/rules/*.mdc adapter for project rules.
  • OpenClaw and similar agents: use the same skill content as a reusable prompt/workflow file when native skill import is unavailable.

Production Rules

  • Keep pre-commit checks fast enough to avoid bypass patterns.
  • Use the same underlying scripts for local hooks and CI.
  • Document approved bypass conditions for emergency fixes only.
  • Treat commit-msg enforcement as required for changelog quality.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Hooks are too slow and developers bypass them
Fix: keep pre-commit to staged-file checks only.

Issue: Hook failures differ from CI failures
Fix: use shared scripts for local and CI paths.

Issue: Commit message confusion
Fix: provide examples in failing output and contributor docs.

Output Contract

  1. Minimal hook policy with justifications.
  2. Exact script wiring in package manager config.
  3. Failure UX recommendations.
  4. Maintenance checklist for future contributors.

Safety notes✓Installs from a downloaded package and may run local commands or scaffold files as part of the workflow; review the package and any generated changes before applying.✓May produce commands or configuration for live infrastructure, CI, releases, or indexing; test changes in staging or dry-run mode first. Use least-privilege API tokens and review workflow, deploy, DNS, cache, and release changes before applying them to production.✓This skill plans release publication; it must not create tags, publish releases, or push version bumps without explicit maintainer approval. Security and breaking-change entries can affect downstream consumers; require owner review before public release. Automated changelog tools may include contributor handles or internal ticket IDs; scrub before publishing. Do not run release scripts or CI publish workflows from unreviewed fork contexts.
Privacy notes✓Operates on your local project files and any context you share in the session; review what you expose before sharing — nothing is sent beyond the model unless a step calls an external service.✓Inputs can include repository metadata, workflow logs, deployment settings, domain names, analytics exports, and service configuration. Redact tokens, account IDs, private URLs, customer data, and proprietary deployment details before sharing generated reports or prompts.✓Changelog drafts may expose unreleased features, customer names, internal URLs, and security fix details. GitHub compare views and release automation logs can include private repository metadata. Redact embargoed vulnerability details and internal-only migration notes from public release text. Keep registry tokens, npm credentials, and signing keys out of prompts and generated notes.
