+### Sanity checks
+
+The Python codebase is PEP8 compliant with the exception of 120 characters line length.
+We run black and flake8 against the code base excluding "ethosu/vela/tflite/" and "ethosu/vela/ethos\_u55\_regs" directories because they are auto-generated by third party tools.
+Those tools are run using [pre-commit framework](https://pre-commit.com/). The configuration file is .pre-commit-config.yaml
+
+#### Install tools
+
+To install pre-commit, run the following:
+
+```
+pipenv install -e . --dev
+```
+
+After the installation, pre-commit is available in the virtual environment.
+
+#### Install the pre-commit hook
+
+To ease the development, we can run those sanity checks before committing the code.
+To install the git hook, run:
+
+```
+$ pre-commit install
+pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+The checks will be run before the commit: if one of them fails, you need to fix the code to make the checks pass.
+
+#### Run the sanity checks
+
+Those checks can be run manually. This can be achievied running the following
+```
+$ pre-commit run flake8 --all-files
+...
+$ pre-commit run black --all-files
+```
+
+If you don't specify anything after run, it will execute all the checks.
