git-workflow's description enumerated the six domains it exists to route away from, so it competed for selection with the very skills it should be handing off to. It now triggers on the case it actually serves: an interactive request whose domain is not yet clear. Also clears frontmatter drift across the plugin and removes duplicated guidance in pc-run that had diverged from its reference.

| pc-run | Use when the user wants to run pre-commit hooks, wire them into git, bump hook revs, maintain the cache, or diagnose why a hook fails or never fires. Not creating or editing the pre-commit config -> `pc-author`. | Requires pre-commit installed and available on PATH. |

Gotchas
- The
SKIPenv var takes exact hookidvalues, comma-separated with no spaces:SKIP=check-yaml,gitleaks git commit -m "msg". A space after a comma silently skips nothing instead of erroring. - Never bypass a failing hook with
git commit --no-verify(or-n). Hooks are the automated QA gate, so a bypassed commit pushes the failure downstream where it costs more — diagnose it instead. - files were modified by this hookis not a bug. A fixer hook rewrote a staged file, so the staged snapshot is stale and the commit is blocked on purpose. Re-stage and re-run the same commit:git add -u && git commit. Do NOT reach forpre-commit install -fhere — it overwrites.git/hooks/and has nothing to do with re-staging.
Gate — pre-commit clean
Confirm with the user before running pre-commit clean, on every path that reaches it — including when it turns up as the fix for a stale or broken environment. It wipes the whole cache at ~/.cache/pre-commit, which is machine-wide and shared by every repo on the box, forcing every hook environment to be re-downloaded.
"This will wipe the entire pre-commit cache. All hook environments will be re-downloaded on next run. Proceed?"
pre-commit gc drops only unused environments and needs no confirmation — prefer it when the goal is just to reclaim disk.
Route
Determine intent from the user's request, then execute the matching operation. Where the matching row names a references/ file, read that one file and no other — each flow file is self-contained.
| User intent | Operation |
|---|---|
| "run", "check", "verify", "test hooks" | pre-commit run --all-files (default) |
| "staged", "simulate commit" | pre-commit run (staged files only) |
| "CI", "changed files only", "diff range" | pre-commit run --from-ref <base> --to-ref <head> — prefer this over --all-files on large repos |
| "install", "set up hooks", "wire into git" | pre-commit install — read references/install.md |
| "pre-create environments", "warm cache" | pre-commit install-hooks — builds every hook environment without running a hook |
| "remove hooks", "uninstall", "tear down" | pre-commit uninstall — removes pre-commit from .git/hooks/ |
| "autoupdate", "update versions", "bump revs" | pre-commit autoupdate — read references/autoupdate.md |
| "gc", "garbage collect" | pre-commit gc — drops unused cached environments only, safe at any time |
| "clean", "wipe cache", "rebuild from scratch" | pre-commit clean — read references/clean.md |
| "hooks aren't running", "hook never fires", "why did a hook fail", a hook failure whose cause is unclear | Diagnose — read references/failure-patterns.md |
Run
Default to pre-commit run --all-files; never silently narrow to staged files. Run pre-commit run (staged only) or pre-commit run <hook-id> (one named hook) when the user asks for it.
When hooks fail:
- Name the hook and the specific cause. Be concrete — "gitleaks blocked
config.json(high-entropy string on line 12)", not "gitleaks failed". - Suggest one concrete next step. Common causes and their concrete fixes are in
references/failure-patterns.md— read it whenever the output does not already name the fix. - Do not auto-fix code files, and do not edit
.pre-commit-config.yaml— those belong to the user or topc-author.
