SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires husky, lint-staged, prettier.

What problem does it solve? Setting up commit-time quality checks requires manually wiring together Husky, lint-staged, and Prettier, which is error-prone and easy to misconfigure across different package managers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Husky Hook Setup: Initializes Husky and creates a .husky/pre-commit hook that runs lint-staged, typecheck, and tests. - Package Manager Detection: Detects npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun from lockfiles and adapts all commands accordingly. - Config Generation: Creates .lintstagedrc and a default .prettierrc only when no Prettier config exists. - Use Case: You clone a JavaScript repo with no commit hooks and want staged files auto-formatted plus typecheck and tests enforced before every commit. ## Quick Start Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged and Prettier in this repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about setup-pre-commit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged?▼

Install husky, lint-staged, and prettier as devDependencies, run npx husky init, then create a .husky/pre-commit file that runs npx lint-staged followed by typecheck and test scripts. Add a .lintstagedrc mapping files to prettier --write.

How to run Prettier only on staged files before commit?▼

Use lint-staged with a .lintstagedrc config mapping "*" to "prettier --ignore-unknown --write". The pre-commit hook runs npx lint-staged, which applies Prettier only to files staged in Git.

Does Husky work with pnpm, yarn, or bun?▼

Yes, Husky works with any package manager. Detect the manager from lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, bun.lockb) and substitute the correct command in the pre-commit hook instead of npm.

Why does my Husky pre-commit hook not run?▼

Common causes include a missing prepare script set to "husky" in package.json, a non-executable .husky/pre-commit file, or Husky not being initialized. Run npx husky init and verify the hook file exists and is executable.

What if my project has no typecheck or test script?▼

Omit those lines from the .husky/pre-commit file and inform the user. The hook should only reference scripts that actually exist in package.json to avoid failing every commit.
