Use when hk.pkl exists in project, hook output shows hk running, or working with git hooks in hk-managed projects. Also use when setting up, configuring, or troubleshooting hk git hooks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# hk - Git Hook Manager

## Overview

hk is a fast git hook manager by jdx (author of mise). Uses pkl configuration language. Provides 90+ built-in linters.

**Docs:** https://hk.jdx.dev/
**GitHub:** https://github.com/jdx/hk

## Detection

Identify which hook manager a project uses:

| File | Hook Manager |
|------|--------------|
| `hk.pkl` | hk |
| `lefthook.yml` | lefthook |
| `.husky/` directory | husky |
| `.pre-commit-config.yaml` | pre-commit (python) |

## Key Commands

```bash
hk init              # Create initial hk.pkl
hk install           # Set up git hooks
hk check             # Run checks manually (read-only)
hk fix               # Auto-fix issues
hk builtins          # List available builtins
hk validate          # Validate config
hk config dump       # Show effective configuration
```

## Core Concepts

- **Hooks:** Git hook types (pre-commit, commit-msg, pre-push)
- **Steps:** Named units of work within hooks
- **Builtins:** Pre-configured linters (90+) via `Builtins.pkl`
- **Profiles:** Enable/disable groups of steps (`--profile slow`)

## Configuration

When editing hk.pkl, read `hk-pkl-reference.md` in this skill directory for structure and examples.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/hk@sha256:72ac3bc7f49c2833

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260201.6130a61, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
