 ## Development
 
 ### Swagger Documentation
+To ensure the Swagger documentation is always up to date, we use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). It runs `swag init` automatically before each commit if any Go files in `db/src` have changed.
 
+To install the hooks:
+```bash
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can run it manually:
+```bash
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+or from `db/src`:
 ```bash
 swag init
 ```
