SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps prevent repetitive manual validation by noticing when the same check is being requested over and over, then suggesting a Cursor hook to automate it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repeated-Check Detection: Identifies patterns like repeated lint, test, type-check, or build requests after edits.
  • Automation Suggestions: Recommends the right hook event and a fast script so the check runs automatically.
  • Practical Workflow Fit: Useful when a team keeps asking for the same post-edit verification and wants to reduce forgetfulness and manual effort.

Quick Start

Ask me to suggest a Cursor hook when I keep running the same check after edits.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate linting and type checking after edits in Cursor?▼

Automate repeated lint and type-checking commands by configuring a fast, non-blocking script in your .cursor/hooks.json file that triggers automatically after edits.

What is a Cursor hook and when do I need one for build verification?▼

A Cursor hook is an automation entry point in .cursor/hooks.json that runs scripts on specific events. You need one when you repeatedly request the same build verification, linting, or testing after edits and want to eliminate manual effort and forgetfulness.

Can I use Cursor hooks to run tests automatically after every file change?▼

Yes, you can run tests automatically after file changes by setting up a hook event with a fast script in .cursor/hooks.json. This Skill identifies your recurring post-edit test requests and suggests the correct hook configuration to automate them.

What are the limitations of automating post-edit checks with a Cursor hook?▼

Cursor hooks require fast, non-blocking scripts to avoid disrupting your editing workflow, and you must account for existing hook merge behavior when adding new entries. This Skill focuses on suggesting hooks for recognized recurring commands rather than complex blocking build pipelines.
