Commit hook keeps coding agents from bypassing the diagnostics library
What happened
On October 13, Simon Willison cited Geoffrey Huntley's approach: a pre-commit hook inspects the git diff and blocks coding agents from skipping the diagnostics library and calling observability modules directly. Huntley notes that updating AGENTS.md still leaves drift, and the constraint erodes over time. The commit hook fails the commit when it finds a violation and injects a prompt telling the agent to use the diagnostics library. The method turns a documented requirement into a check and feedback at commit time.

Simon Willison 引述 Geoffrey Huntley 的方法，用 pre-commit hook 检查 git diff，阻止智能体绕过诊断库直接调用可观测性模块。Huntley 指出，更新 AGENTS.md 仍会留下偏差并逐渐漂移；钩子则让违规提交失败，并注入提示词要求智能体使用诊断库。
