Automation Strategies

Automation Strategies

Guide for setting up automation tools — pre-commit hooks, linters, formatters, and security scanning — adapted to the detected tech stack.

Pre-commit Framework

Install and configure the pre-commit framework:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

Or use the plugin's install-hooks.sh script which auto-detects stack and generates .pre-commit-config.yaml:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-hooks.sh

Stack-Adaptive Configuration

Python

Recommended tools: ruff (linter + formatter), pre-commit-hooks (common checks). Optional additions: black (alternative formatter), mypy (type checking), detect-secrets (secret scanning).

Sample .pre-commit-config.yaml (matches what install-hooks.sh generates):

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v4.6.0
    hooks:
      - id: trailing-whitespace
      - id: end-of-file-fixer
      - id: check-yaml
      - id: check-added-large-files
  - repo: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit
    rev: v0.4.1
    hooks:
      - id: ruff
      - id: ruff-format

JavaScript / TypeScript

Recommended tools: prettier (formatter), eslint (linter), husky (hooks integration).

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-prettier
    rev: v3.1.0
    hooks:
      - id: prettier
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-eslint
    rev: v8.56.0
    hooks:
      - id: eslint
        types: [javascript, jsx, ts, tsx]

Go

Recommended tools: gofmt (formatter), golangci-lint (meta-linter).

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/dnephin/pre-commit-golang
    rev: v0.5.1
    hooks:
      - id: go-fmt
      - id: golangci-lint

Rust

Recommended tools: rustfmt (formatter), clippy (linter).

repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: rustfmt
        name: rustfmt
        entry: cargo fmt --
        language: system
        types: [rust]
      - id: clippy
        name: clippy
        entry: cargo clippy -- -D warnings
        language: system
        types: [rust]
        pass_filenames: false

Universal Hooks (all stacks)

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v4.5.0
    hooks:
      - id: trailing-whitespace
      - id: end-of-file-fixer
      - id: check-yaml
      - id: check-json
      - id: check-merge-conflict
      - id: check-added-large-files

CI/CD Integration

Use the plugin's CI templates from skills/repository-templates/templates/ci/:

• python-ci.yml.template — Python CI with pytest, ruff, optional coverage
• node-ci.yml.template — Node.js CI with test and lint

Generate with:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/generate-template.py \
  --template ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/repository-templates/templates/ci/python-ci.yml.template \
  --output .github/workflows/ci.yml

Git Hooks (Native, without pre-commit)

Commit-msg validation (conventional commits):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# .git/hooks/commit-msg
pattern="^(feat|fix|chore|docs|refactor|test|ci|perf|revert)(\(.+\))?: .{1,72}"
if ! grep -qE "$pattern" "$1"; then
  echo "ERROR: Commit message must follow conventional commits format" >&2
  exit 1
