Source review
License
Confirm MIT terms fit your project and retain notices when required.
Install behavior
Read commands before running them and start with a low-risk local workspace.
Verification
Check outputs, safety notes, and policy fit before exposing the resource to agent workflows.
Why use it
Use it when a project needs review feedback from many code-analysis tools and the team wants inspectable provenance before adoption.
When to use
- You need review feedback from many code-analysis tools.
- The upstream README and license fit the target project.
- You can test the integration on non-production data first.
When not to use
- The hook would run unreviewed shell commands.
- Blocking behavior would stop unrelated developer work.

Use the manifest as structured review context before applying local policy.
