AI Coding Needs Guardrails: Pre-Commit + Pre-Push

When AI helps generate code, velocity goes up. So does the chance of shipping something you did not fully inspect.

Tweet Draft

If AI writes your code, hooks should gate your push.

  • pre-commit: staged secret scan + SAST + API smoke tests
  • pre-push: full secret scan + vulnerability/misconfig scan + coverage gate

AI makes output faster. Hooks keep quality and security non-optional.

Why This Matters

  • AI can produce plausible code that hides subtle security or logic risks.
  • Teams under deadline pressure skip manual checks.
  • Hooks convert "I should check" into "it must pass first".

Practical Baseline

  • Secret scanning (trufflehog) on staged changes and full repo before push.
  • Security scanning (trivy/semgrep) with fail-on-high severity.
  • Fast API-focused tests at commit time.
  • Full coverage gate at push time.

Tweet (X-ready, <=280 chars)

If AI writes your code, hooks should gate every push: pre-commit (staged secrets + SAST + API smoke tests) and pre-push (full secrets + vuln/misconfig scan + coverage gate). AI speeds output; hooks make security and quality non-optional.
