Core Workflow

Define minimum local gate set for the repository type.
Keep hooks fast and deterministic to avoid bypass behavior.
Enforce commit message standard with clear error messages.
Align local checks with CI checks to prevent drift.
Document safe bypass conditions for emergency workflows.

Overview

This skill focuses on practical local governance: catch avoidable issues early while preserving fast contributor loops.

Capability Scope

Hook design and prioritization
Runtime/latency optimization
Commit message policy enforcement
Contributor ergonomics and onboarding
Governance drift controls

Compatibility

Native

Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via SKILL.md.
Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style SKILL.md content as reusable workflow instructions.

Manual Adaptation

Gemini CLI: native skill usage via .gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md where supported.
Cursor: use the generated .cursor/rules/*.mdc adapter for project rules.
OpenClaw and similar agents: use the same skill content as a reusable prompt/workflow file when native skill import is unavailable.

Production Rules

Keep pre-commit checks fast enough to avoid bypass patterns.
Use the same underlying scripts for local hooks and CI.
Document approved bypass conditions for emergency fixes only.
Treat commit-msg enforcement as required for changelog quality.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Hooks are too slow and developers bypass them
Fix: keep pre-commit to staged-file checks only.

Issue: Hook failures differ from CI failures
Fix: use shared scripts for local and CI paths.

Issue: Commit message confusion
Fix: provide examples in failing output and contributor docs.

Output Contract

Minimal hook policy with justifications.
Exact script wiring in package manager config.
Failure UX recommendations.
Maintenance checklist for future contributors.
