precommit

A quality-check routine for Maven and Java projects. Maven is a build tool; the routine formats code, checks style and static-analysis rules, and runs tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing Java changes or when checking whether a Maven project is ready to commit.
Why use it?
It finds formatting problems, Checkstyle or PMD violations, and failing tests before a commit is created.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

precommit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Pre-commit Check: Format → Validate → Test

Try it: /maven-quality:precommit — or say "format and validate this before I commit".

Run this before every commit to catch format, style, and test failures early. Defaults target a Maven/Java project using spring-javaformat, Checkstyle, and PMD. Adjust module names (-pl), profiles, and the mvn invocation to match your project.

Examples use the Maven wrapper ./mvnw. If your environment has no wrapper, substitute your mvn binary, e.g. bash "/path/to/mvn" <goal> -f pom.xml. For multi-module builds, scope steps with -pl <module>.


Step 1: Auto-format

./mvnw spring-javaformat:apply

Step 2: Validate (Checkstyle + PMD)

./mvnw validate 2>&1 | grep -E "^\[ERROR\]|violations|PMD Failure"

If violations remain after auto-format, fix them manually (see the codestyle skill). Do not proceed to Step 3 until validate passes cleanly.


Step 3: Run tests

./mvnw test 2>&1 | tail -20

Step 4: Report outcome

Summarize the result:

Step Result
Format Applied / Already clean
Validate 0 violations / N violations (list them)
Tests X passed, 0 failures / list failures
  • If everything is green, the working tree is ready to commit.
  • If formatting changed files, list them so they can be staged.
  • If any step fails, report which step failed with the error details, and fix it before committing.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

precommit is a skill published in the GitHub repository alexmond/alexmskills (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 480 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
