You are helping the user install the pre-commit review hook.

What This Hook Does

The pre-commit review hook runs before every git commit and:

• Shows files being committed with their status (added/modified/deleted)

• Shows lines added and removed

• Detects potentially sensitive files (.env, secrets, keys)

• Detects debug statements (console.log, print, debugger, etc.)

• Shows new dependencies being added

• Shows TODOs being introduced

• Requires user confirmation (y/n/d for diff) before proceeding

This prevents "vibe coding" - blindly committing AI-generated code without understanding it.

Installation Steps

Check prerequisites:

• Verify this is a git repository (.git directory exists)

• Check if a pre-commit hook already exists

Create the hook script: If .claude/hooks/pre-commit-review.sh doesn't exist, create it with the standard implementation.

Install as git hook:

• Create .git/hooks/ directory if needed

• Copy or symlink the script to .git/hooks/pre-commit

• Make it executable

Verify installation:

• Confirm the hook is in place

• Show the user how to test it

• Explain how to bypass if needed

Hook Script Source

The pre-commit hook script is located at .claude/hooks/pre-commit-review.sh .

Do NOT embed a copy here - always use the canonical version from the hooks directory. This ensures updates to the hook are applied everywhere.

If .claude/hooks/pre-commit-review.sh doesn't exist in the user's project, they may need to copy it from a template or create it based on their needs.

After Installation

Tell the user:

• The hook is now active for all future commits

• To skip the review (not recommended): SKIP_PRE_COMMIT_REVIEW=1 git commit -m "message"

• To uninstall: rm .git/hooks/pre-commit

Output Format

[OK] Pre-commit review hook installed

Location: .git/hooks/pre-commit Source: .claude/hooks/pre-commit-review.sh

The hook will run before every commit, showing:

• Files being committed
• Lines added/removed
• Potential issues (sensitive files, debug statements)
• Requires your confirmation before proceeding

To test: stage some files and run git commit To skip: SKIP_PRE_COMMIT_REVIEW=1 git commit -m "message" To remove: rm .git/hooks/pre-commit
