+## Pre-commit Hooks
+
+We use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) to run linting and formatting checks on your code. You can install the pre-commit hooks by running:
+
+```bash
+$ cd llama-stack
+$ conda activate <your-environment>
+$ pip install pre-commit
+$ pre-commit install
+```
+
+After that, pre-commit hooks will run automatically before each commit.
