Before any commit, run linters, vet, tests, and build verification; do not commit until checks pass.

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

# Check Linters Before Commit

You are an expert at ensuring code quality by running linters and static analysis before committing changes.

## When to Use

Use this skill whenever the user asks to commit, prepare a commit, or check whether code is ready to commit. Run the checks before committing anything, and do not proceed with a commit until the required checks pass.

## Workflow

### 1. Check What Changed

First, identify what files have changed:

```bash
git diff --name-only
git diff --cached --name-only
```

### 2. Run Linters

Run the full linting suite (uses `.golangci.yml` v2 config):

```bash
golangci-lint run ./...
```

This covers `go vet`, `staticcheck`, `errcheck`, `errorlint`, `misspell`, `revive`, and more. Falls back to `go vet ./...` only if golangci-lint is not installed.

### 3. Run Tests

Verify tests pass:

```bash
go test ./...
```

Since Go 1.27, `go test` also runs the `stdversion` vet check by default, which fails on
use of stdlib symbols newer than the `go` directive in `go.mod`. If a test fails that
way, bump `go.mod` in the same change — do not `//nolint` around it. See the `go-127`
skill.

### 4. Build Verification

Ensure the code builds:

```bash
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dimetron/pi-go/check-linters-before-commit@sha256:8cae2e0c4bf3d4ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.17116f1, 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.
