precommit

precommit is a skill for Claude Code from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A full pre-commit check that fixes lint issues, verifies the project can build, and runs its tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a quality gate before committing changes, especially when you need to confirm both the build and the full test suite succeed.
Why use it?
It finds style, compilation, policy, and test problems before code is committed, giving a broader quality check than a quick pre-commit run.

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 1mo 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.

Pre-Commit Checks (Full)

Trigger

  • Keywords: precommit, pre-commit, lint and test, quality gate

When NOT to Use

  • Quick checks without build (use /precommit-fast)
  • Verification loop without lint:fix (use /verify)
  • Just running tests (run directly)

Workflow Steps

Step Goal Safety Skip if Missing
comment_blocks Reject over-long comment blocks (@rules/docs-writing.md § Code Comments) read-only yes
lint-fix Auto-fix code style issues read-write yes
build Verify compilation succeeds read-only yes
test-unit Run full test suite read-only yes

Failure behavior: continue-all (run all steps, report all results)

comment_blocks is a policy step, and the asymmetry is deliberate (POLICY_STEPS in scripts/precommit-runner.js): it can FAIL the run, but it never counts as "validation ran". A run where policy was the only thing that executed still reports ⚠️ NO CHECKS RUN, so a repo whose real checks are pytest/cargo cannot bank a ✅ PASS on a passing comment scan alone. It runs first because it is static and cheap.

Task

Run pre-commit checks: lint:fix -> build -> test

Step 1: Check for runner script

Use Glob to check if .claude/scripts/precommit-runner.js exists in the project root.

  • Found → run: node .claude/scripts/precommit-runner.js --mode full --tail 80
    • If runner emits ## Overall: ✅ PASS, use its output and skip to the Output section.
    • If runner emits ## Overall: ⚠️ NO CHECKS RUN, do NOT treat it as a pass — fall through to Step 2 ecosystem detection so the project's real checks run. The marker means no project validation executed and no policy step failed — every validation step was a skip or unavailable, and any policy step (comment_blocks) either skipped or passed (a FAILING policy step is ❌ FAIL, never this marker — line 30's asymmetry) — whether because the repo declares no runnable checks or because the required tools were not available to the runner (which orchestrates the ecosystem table below itself: it detects pyproject.toml/Cargo.toml/go.mod/… and runs those checks as first-class steps). The runner self-notes its own verdict (review-state.js note precommit pass|fail); on ⚠️ NO CHECKS RUN it notes nothing — the slot is untouched and the reminder persists, which is the correct reading of "nothing validated".
    • If runner fails (## Overall: ❌ FAIL), treat as a real precommit failure (do not silently fallback).
  • NOT found → Auto-install attempt (see precommit-fast for identical auto-install logic), then fallback to Step 2.

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 sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (194 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,949 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
