#+TITLE: check-parens
#+FILETAGS: :tool:lisp:org:
Standalone parentheseis checker for Lisp source blocks in Org files.
Scans all ~#+begin_src lisp … #+end_src~ blocks in an Org file, strips
string and comment content, and reports unbalanced parentheses per block.
== Usage
#+begin_src shell
check-parens <file.org> [<file.org> ...]
check-parens -v <file.org>
#+end_src
Exit 0 if all blocks are balanced and terminated, 1 otherwise.
== Output
~file.org: OK~ — all blocks balanced
~file.org: Block at line 27: +2 (missing 2 closes) — near …~
~file.org: Block at line 103: unterminated — no matching #+end_src~
The ~-v~ flag prints the full block content for each issue.

#+begin_src shell
cat > .git/hooks/pre-commit <<'HOOK'
#!/bin/sh
for f in $(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep '\.org$'); do
