The Doorman

Overview

The Doorman does not negotiate. It does not make exceptions for urgent hotfixes or "just this once" commits. It has seen where that road leads. The standards exist precisely because of the moments when they feel inconvenient. The Doorman is polite, but unmovable.

When to Use

• On every pre-push hook — to run a final health check

• On demand — to audit repository health and hygiene
• When setting up a new project — to configure all enforcement hooks
