Pre-push Review

A mod that reviews your unpushed commits against a short guidelines file before Claude runs git push, and stops the push when it finds a blocking problem. We're sharing it as an example of a mod that gates a tool call on a model's judgment.

What this shows

When Claude runs git push, the mod:

  1. Diffs the commits not yet on the upstream branch (or origin/HEAD when there is no upstream), leaving out lockfiles, build output, snapshots, source maps and minified files.
  2. Sends that diff and the repository's REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md to the model and asks for findings as JSON, each with a rule ID and a severity.
  3. Decides:
  4. block findings: denies the push and hands Claude the findings so it can fix them.
  5. warn findings only: pushes, shows a toast and passes the warnings to Claude.
  6. no findings: pushes.

/push-review runs the same check at any time without pushing.

HookWhat it does
session.startRegisters /push-review.
command.run with {command: "push-review"}Runs the review and prints the findings.
tool.call with {tool: "Bash"}Catches git push, reviews, then denies or passes the call on. A .catch lets the push through with a toast if the hook itself fails.

Cost and loops are kept down by:

  • Haiku for diffs up to 400 lines, Sonnet above that, both at low effort.
  • Results cached in $.store by repository, base and HEAD commit, so pushing again with no new commits doesn't repeat the review.
  • Diffs over 3,000 lines skipped with a note instead of sent.
  • At most 2 denied pushes per branch; the third goes through with the open findings listed.
  • SKIP_REVIEW=1 at the start of the command skips the review.
  • A failed or unanswered review never blocks; it pushes and says the diff wasn't checked.

REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md in this folder is a starter for Node.js and React projects moving from JavaScript to TypeScript: security and correctness rules block, maintainability and TypeScript migration rules warn. Copy it to the root of each repository and adjust it there. Without it, the mod uses a short built-in version.

Demo

None yet.

How it was built

  • Model: built with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code. The mod calls Claude Haiku 4.5 or Claude Sonnet through the haiku and sonnet aliases.
  • Prompt(s): "Can I create a mod for running automatic PR reviews before pushing? Additionally, how can I set it up to be efficient and respect some coding guidelines and avoid common pitfalls?", then "let's start with a first version with a concrete, relevant and ideally short REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md doc ... We majorly use nodejs as our backend and react as the frontend with mostly javascript files and the ambition to transition to Typescript as we refactor modules."
  • Transcript: not shared.
  • Iterations:
  • claude plugin validate refused helpers defined inside register that take $; they are top-level functions now.
  • The validator flagged the gating tool.call hook without a .catch; one was added so a failure is visible instead of silent.

Run it

Requirements: Claude Code 2.1.287 or later, git, and a repository with an upstream branch or origin/HEAD.

Steps:

  1. Install it from this repository's marketplace: ``bash claude plugin marketplace add sfrodilla/claude-code-mods claude plugin install pre-push-review@sfrodilla-mods --scope user ` Or clone the repository and try it for one session with claude --plugin-dir ./pre-push-review`.
  2. Copy REVIEW_GUIDELINES.md to the root of your repository.
  3. On a test branch, commit a line such as const KEY = "sk-live-123" and ask Claude to push. The push should be denied under SEC-1.

Notes / limitations

  • Only pushes Claude runs are reviewed. A git push typed in your own terminal is not seen; a git pre-push hook would be needed for that.
  • Pushes are matched on the text git push, so aliases and scripts that push are missed.
  • The diff is sent to the model. Only use it on repositories where that is allowed.
  • Findings are only as good as the diff's context: the model doesn't read the rest of the file.
  • Not yet tested end to end in a session.
