🔋 Battery Check

CRITICAL: Before running any build or test commands, check if the machine is on battery power.

Resolve <plugin-root> before running plugin scripts:

• In Claude Code, use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.
• In Codex, use the plugin root that contains this skills/precommit/SKILL.md file.

<plugin-root>/scripts/check-battery || { echo "⚡ Skipping precommit on battery power"; exit 0; }
git test run HEAD --retest --verbose --verbose

• If on battery power, skip the build and report: "⚡ Skipped precommit checks (on battery power)"
• If on AC power, proceed with the build

⚙️ Running Precommit

Run git test run HEAD --retest --verbose --verbose to validate code:

• Use a timeout of at least 10 minutes
• This command runs the test configured via git test add (typically autoformatting, builds, tests, and other quality checks)
• Before invoking git test run, commit unstaged, staged, or uncommitted changes with the git-commit skill. Do not wait for git test run to refuse the dirty tree.
• Do not substitute just precommit or another direct build command. Run git test run HEAD --retest --verbose --verbose on the committed tree so the result is cached against the commit.
• Prefer an eager validation commit over avoiding git test run. The caller can reset, squash, or fix up the commit later, but skipping git test run loses the cache benefit this workflow depends on.
• In sandboxed environments, request escalation for git test run; it refreshes the index and writes .git/index.lock before the configured command starts.

📋 Handle Missing Configuration

If git test is not configured for this repository, clearly explain the situation and suggest using the build-test-setup skill to configure it.

❌ Handle Check Failures

When precommit fails (due to: type checking errors, test failures, linting issues, build errors):

• Analyze the error output to understand what failed
• Fix the specific failures
• Commit the fixes before retrying: git add -u && git commit --fixup=HEAD. git test run HEAD refuses to run on a dirty tree, so the fixes must be committed first and the fixup keeps them foldable into the original commit on the next rebase.
• Run the precommit command again
• Continue the fix-and-retry cycle until precommit completes successfully with exit code 0

✅ Reporting Results

Your final message MUST start with one of:

• "⚡ Skipped precommit checks (on battery power)" - if skipped due to battery
• "✅ Precommit checks passed" - if ran successfully
• "✅ Precommit checks passed (after fixing [brief description])" - if fixed issues
