| name | noslop-commit-gate |
| description | Run the noslop pre-commit quality gate, interpret failures, and enforce content-aware protection rules before every commit. |
Use this skill before every git commit in a noslop-protected repository.
Gate command:
noslop check --tier=fast
Run this before staging the final commit. The pre-commit hook runs it automatically, but running it manually first surfaces failures early.
If the gate fails:
- read the failure output and fix the reported issue (lint error, format violation, spell error)
- never use
git commit --no-verify — the Claude Code guardrails block this for AI agents and it defeats the purpose of the gate
- never disable lint rules to make the gate pass; fix the underlying issue
- after fixing, re-run
noslop check --tier=fast to confirm the gate is green before committing
Content-aware config protection — Tier 1:
The pre-commit hook checks quality gate config files for weakening patterns. Strengthening changes pass through automatically.
| Config | Blocked (weakening) | Allowed (strengthening) |
|---|
eslint.config.mjs | Adding 'off' rules, eslint-disable, net removal of 'error' rules | New rules, tighter limits |
vitest.config.ts | Lowering coverage thresholds, removing thresholds | Raising thresholds |
tsconfig*.json | Adding strict: false, net removal of strict flags | New strict flags |
.dependency-cruiser.cjs | Net removal of name: rules, severity downgrade to warn/info/off | New forbidden rules |
knip.json | Expanding ignore/ignoreDependencies, ignoreExportsUsedInFile | New entry points |
Enforcement file protection — Tier 2a:
Files in .githooks/, .claude/hooks/, and AGENTS.md are the enforcement mechanism itself. The hook only blocks:
- removal of quality commands (
npm run ci, npm run test, noslop check, etc.)
- net removal of
exit 1 lines
- net removal of
set -e lines
Additive changes (new jobs, new checks, new schedules) pass through.
CI and config file protection — Tier 2b:
Files in .github/workflows/ and .claude/settings.json are fully checked:
- removal of quality commands
- addition of bypass patterns (
continue-on-error: true, --no-verify, [skip ci], SKIP_CI, skip-checks)
- net removal of
exit 1
Lines containing deny, block, or "Bash are excluded from bypass detection to avoid false positives on enforcement logic.
Avoid:
- using
--no-verify under any circumstance
- adding
eslint-disable comments to silence lint failures
- downgrading config severity to pass the gate
- editing
.githooks/, .claude/, or .github/workflows/ to remove gate commands
