setup-pre-commit

To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged and Prettier, the skill automatically detects your package manager, initializes Husky, wires the `.husky/pre-commit` file, and generates the necessary lint-staged and Prettier configuration files to format staged files.

Yes, you can automatically run typecheck and test scripts on each commit. The setup detects if `npm run typecheck` and `npm run test` scripts exist in your repository and integrates them into the pre-commit hook to ensure your code stays green.

The best way to format only staged files before committing is by using lint-staged with Prettier. This skill configures lint-staged with sensible defaults to automatically apply formatting exclusively to your staged changes during the pre-commit hook execution.

Yes, the pre-commit hook setup works with different JavaScript package managers. The skill explicitly detects the package manager used in your JavaScript or TypeScript repository and adapts the generated Husky and lint-staged commands accordingly.

You need lint-staged when using Husky for pre-commit checks to ensure fast execution. While Husky triggers the git hook, lint-staged specifically targets staged files, running Prettier formatting and checks only on modified code rather than the entire repository.

A limitation of using pre-commit hooks for test automation is that the hook only executes `npm run test` if a test script is already defined in your repository, meaning you must manually establish your testing framework before this skill can integrate it.
