Husky + lint-staged

Quick start

Section titled “Quick start”
Terminal window
tinkerise add husky

What it detects

Section titled “What it detects”

The husky module checks for:

  • An existing .husky/ directory
  • An installed husky dependency
  • A prepare script that references Husky (reported as detection context)

What it installs

Section titled “What it installs”
  • husky
  • lint-staged

Generated hook behavior

Section titled “Generated hook behavior”

The install flow is adaptive:

  • Requires a .git directory; otherwise installation fails with a warning (git init first)
  • Creates .husky/pre-commit with npx lint-staged
  • Writes lint-staged config in package.json based on what tooling exists:
    • Adds eslint --fix rules when ESLint is installed
    • Adds prettier --write rules when Prettier is installed

File and config changes

Section titled “File and config changes”
  • Adds prepare script: husky
  • Creates .husky/pre-commit with npx lint-staged
  • Writes lint-staged config in package.json

Expected outcome after tinkerise add husky:

  • Commits run staged-file checks automatically
  • Pre-commit behavior matches your currently installed lint/format stack

Conflict handling

Section titled “Conflict handling”

If Husky is already detected, interactive execution can show diffs and allow accept/skip decisions before finalizing writes.
