# Setup Pre-Commit Hooks

Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests.

## What This Sets Up

- lint-staged running Prettier on all staged files
- Prettier config
- typecheck and test scripts in the pre-commit hook

## Steps
1. Detect package manager
2. Install dependencies: husky lint-staged prettier
3. Initialize Husky: npx husky init
4. Create .husky/pre-commit
5. Create .lintstagedrc
6. Create .prettierrc (if missing)
7. Verify
8. Commit
