I can do that with github actions too? For tests, I can either run them locally (with a debugger if I want), or in github actions. Smaller checks go in a pre-commit config that github action also runs.

Setting up my github actions (or gitlab) checks in a way that can easily run locally can be a bit of extra work, but it's not difficult.

I'm also not a native English speaker, but I've decided to avoid using AI for formatting or changing the tone of what I write. That tends to result in extremely generic outputs that "feel" AI, no matter how much effort I put into writing it.

Asking for it to point out mistakes, without providing alternatives, seems like a better way to actually get better at writing.

Prompting the Ai to use a specific tone might result in something that's less generic, but imo that's not the right place to spend efforts.
