CRITICAL: Before running any build or test commands, check if the machine is on battery power:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-battery || { echo "⚡ Skipping precommit on battery power"; exit 0; }
git test run HEAD --retest --verbose --verbose
If on battery power, skip the build and report: "⚡ Skipped precommit checks (on battery power)"
If on AC power, proceed with the build
⚙️ Running Precommit
Run git test run HEAD --retest --verbose --verbose to validate code:
Use a timeout of at least 10 minutes
This command runs the test configured via git test add (typically autoformatting, builds, tests, and other quality checks)
📋 Handle Missing Configuration
If git test is not configured for this repository, clearly explain the situation and suggest running /build:test-setup to configure it.
❌ Handle Check Failures
When precommit fails (due to: type checking errors, test failures, linting issues, build errors):
Analyze the error output to understand what failed
Fix the specific failures
Run the precommit command again
Continue the fix-and-retry cycle until precommit completes successfully with exit code 0
✅ Reporting Results
Your final message MUST start with one of:
"⚡ Skipped precommit checks (on battery power)" - if skipped due to battery
