SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Manually wiring up commit-time quality checks is repetitive and error-prone. This Skill automates the entire setup of pre-commit hooks so every commit is automatically formatted, type-checked, and tested before it lands in the repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Husky Hook Setup: Initializes Husky and creates a `.husky/pre-commit` hook that runs lint-staged, typecheck, and tests. - lint-staged + Prettier: Configures lint-staged to run Prettier on all staged files, with a sensible default Prettier config created only if none exists. - Package Manager Detection: Detects npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun from lockfiles and adapts all commands accordingly. - Use Case: You just scaffolded a new TypeScript project and want every commit to be auto-formatted and verified. Run this Skill to install Husky, wire up lint-staged with Prettier, and add typecheck/test steps to the pre-commit hook in one pass. ## Quick Start Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged, Prettier, type checking, and tests in this repository.

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. Add a .lintstagedrc mapping files to prettier --ignore-unknown --write.

How to run Prettier on staged files before commit?▼

Use lint-staged with a .lintstagedrc containing {"*": "prettier --ignore-unknown --write"}. The --ignore-unknown flag skips files Prettier cannot parse, such as images, so the hook never fails on binary assets.

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

Yes, Husky works with any package manager. Detect the package manager from lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, bun.lockb) and replace npm with the detected tool in the pre-commit hook commands.

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

Common causes are a missing prepare script in package.json (it must be "husky") or a non-executable .husky/pre-commit file. Husky v9+ does not require shebang lines in hook files.

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, otherwise every commit will fail.
