+# mdolab pre-commit hooks
+
+Repackaged pre-commit hooks that run pinned tools against mdolab's shared
+configs, so every consuming repo lints and formats identically without
+relying on globally installed tools or PATH ordering.
+
+## Using the hooks
+
+Add to a consuming repo's `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+repos:
+  - repo: https://github.com/mdolab/.github
+    rev: <tag-or-sha>   # pin to a released tag or commit
+    hooks:
+      - id: mdolab-ruff-check
+      - id: mdolab-ruff-format
+      - id: mdolab-isort
+      - id: mdolab-pylint
+      - id: mdolab-clang-format
+      - id: mdolab-fprettify
+```
+
+Pick only the hooks you need. Then:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit install
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+Each hook installs its own pinned tool into an isolated environment, see [.pre-commit-hooks.yaml](../.pre-commit-hooks.yaml).
+
+## Local config overrides
+
+By default each hook uses the bundled shared config in [_config/](_config/).
+A consuming repo can override by placing its own config at the repo root:
+
+| Hook                  | Local override file | Behavior                                         |
+| --------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `mdolab-ruff-check`   | `./ruff.toml`       | layered onto the shared base via ruff's `extend` |
+| `mdolab-ruff-format`  | `./ruff.toml`       | same as above                                    |
+| `mdolab-isort`        | `./.isort.cfg`      | used instead of the shared config                |
+| `mdolab-pylint`       | `./.pylintrc`       | used instead of the shared config                |
+| `mdolab-clang-format` | `./.clang-format`   | used instead of the shared config                |
+| `mdolab-fprettify`    | `./.fprettify.rc`   | used instead of the shared config                |
+
+Ruff is special: a local `./ruff.toml` is *merged on top of* the shared base.
+The other tools take the local file as-is.
+
+## Internals
+
+- [cli.py](cli.py) - the console-script entry points. Each resolves its bundled
+  config (`_config`, shipped as package data) and the pinned tool installed
+  beside `sys.executable` in pre-commit's isolated environment, then execs the
+  tool against the files pre-commit passes as argv.
+- [_config/](_config/) - the shared configs, shipped as package data.
