# Pre-Commit Workflow Management Skill
- This skill explains how to maintain, configure, and execute the intelligent pre-commit hook workflow in the **GitHub Backup Automation System** monorepo.

## 2. Pre-Commit Architecture
- The pre-commit workflow lives in `.githooks/pre-commit` and is tracked directly in version control.

- ## 2. Key Features
+ ## 3. Key Features
1. **Selective Staged-File Execution**: Avoids unnecessary work by only running checks relevant to the files staged for the commit.
2. **Fast-Path for Documentation**: Commits containing only markdown (`*.md`), text (`*.txt`), or asset files skip expensive build and test pipelines.
3. **Subshell Directory Isolation**: Every check runs in a subshell `(cd "${REPO_ROOT}" && ...)` to prevent current working directory drift.
4. **Fail-Fast with Remediation**: Aborts immediately on failure and outputs exact commands needed to fix the problem.
- 5. **Zero External Runtime Dependencies**: Implemented in portable POSIX bash, requiring no npm wrapper packages (like Husky) at the repository root.

### Activating the Hook Locally
```bash
make hooks-install
# Or: ./scripts/install-hooks.sh
```
### Manually Running Pre-Commit Gate
```bash
make pre-commit
```
### Bypass Flags (Emergency Only)
```bash
# Skip tests for quick drafts
SKIP_TESTS=1 git commit -s -S -m "chore: draft"
# Skip builds for lightweight edits
SKIP_BUILDS=1 git commit -s -S -m "fix: comment"
# Force full validation across all subsystems
PRECOMMIT_ALL=1 git commit -s -S -m "feat: core change"
```
