Yes. I find these very useful for enforcing e.g. skills like debugging, committing code, make prs, responding to pr feedback from ai review agents, etc. without constantly polluting the context window.

So when it's time to commit, make sure you run these checks, write a good commit message, etc.

Debugging is especially useful since AI agents can often go off the rails and go into loops rewriting code - so it's in a skill I can push for "read the log messages. Inserting some more useful debug assertions to isolate the failure. Write some more unit tests that are more specific." Etc.
