hygiene

VS Code runs a hygiene check as a git pre-commit hook. Commits will be rejected if hygiene fails.

SkillJury keeps community verdicts, source metadata, and external repository signals in separate lanes so ranking data never pretends to be a review.

About this skill
VS Code runs a hygiene check as a git pre-commit hook. Commits will be rejected if hygiene fails. Always run the pre-commit hygiene check before declaring work complete. This catches issues that would block a commit. To run the hygiene check on your staged files: This executes node --experimental-strip-types build/hygiene.ts , which scans only staged files (from git diff --cached ). To check specific files directly (without staging them first): The hygiene linter scans staged files for issues including (but not limited to): - Unicode characters : Non-ASCII characters (em-dashes, curly quotes, emoji, etc.) are rejected. Use ASCII equivalents in comments and code. Suppress with // allow-any-unicode-next-line or // allow-any-unicode-comment-file .

Source description provided by the upstream listing. Community review signal and install context stay separate from this narrative layer.
