AI overview

Geoffrey Huntley described a pre-commit hook that blocks commits when an agent calls observability modules directly instead of using his diagnostics library. In the account quoted by Simon Willison, the hook checks the git diff for those calls, fails the commit when it finds one, and injects a prompt telling the agent to use the library. Huntley said the approach makes the agent “ten out of ten.” That is his assessment of the approach, rather than a demonstrated performance result.
