pre-push

pre-push is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from onsager-ai/dev-skills. It costs 167 tokens per session (2,076 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-push checklist for repositories that use specification-driven development, where an issue describes the work before coding begins. It checks the branch and runs the repository’s required checks before code is pushed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before pushing code to verify the repository’s check command, inspect likely conflict points, and confirm the branch is tied to a valid specification issue.
Why use it?
It catches problems locally before CI or reviewers find them, including missing links to the issue that specifies the work and common merge conflicts.

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

pre-push 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pre-push

Mechanical checklist that catches the reviewer / CI failures a repo has actually had, plus a spec-link check that enforces the SDD loop locally — before the PR is open, so the author sees the problem locally instead of hearing it from a reviewer or a pr-spec-sync bot.

This is the repo-agnostic half. Each consumer repo overlays its delta in its CLAUDE.md and its <repo>-dev-process sister skill:

  • The check gate — the single command (or short sequence) that reproduces what CI runs: e.g. just check on one repo; RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo build/test/clippy + cargo fmt --check on another. Read the repo's CLAUDE.md or <repo>-dev-process for the exact gate and any diff-conditional extra gates (schema-drift, VD validation, seam lint, migration renumber, UI smoke).
  • Repo-specific collision patterns — the high-churn files and the recurring logical conflicts (enum variants, event schema, migration numbering, generated fixtures). The generic patterns are below; the repo's CLAUDE.md / <repo>-dev-process names the rest.

When a new product surface lands, fold its gate into the repo's overlay — the checklist tracks the toolchain, it does not lag it.

Why

CI on pull_request checks out a merge of origin/main + the PR branch, not the branch alone — and often with strict warnings (-D warnings or equivalent). A local build without that merge, with default flags, is insufficient. Reproducing the merge preview locally is the whole point of step 1.

The spec-link step enforces "no PR without a spec or a trivial label" at push time, before the PR is open.

Steps

Run all of these from the repo root.

1. Sync main into the branch

git fetch origin main
git merge origin/main --no-edit

Resolve conflicts locally, before push — never on the PR "Resolve conflicts" web editor (it bypasses any local validation and routinely lands broken states). If the merge completes cleanly, skip to step 2.

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.

pre-push is a skill published in the GitHub repository onsager-ai/dev-skills (5 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 2,076 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
