| description | Run the exact ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports sequence that CI's `UI Checkstyle` jobs (`lint-src`, `lint-playwright`, `lint-core-components`) run — on just the files the PR changed — and fail the task if any file ends up with a diff. Invoke after authoring or modifying any `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.json` file under `openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/`, `.../playwright/`, or `openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/src/`, or when CI reports a "UI Checkstyle" job failure on the PR. |

UI Checkstyle / ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports
The UI Checkstyle GitHub workflow
(.github/workflows/ui-checkstyle.yml) runs three per-area jobs:
lint-src (openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/...),
lint-playwright (.../playwright/...),
lint-core-components
(openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/src/...). Each job
reformats only the files changed in the PR and fails if the reformat produces
any diff — i.e. the committed tree must already be formatted.
This skill runs the same sequence locally so the CI never has to ask.
When to activate
- The user asks to "fix UI checkstyle", "fix UI lint", "run prettier", "run
eslint", "fix the UI format", "apply UI format", or similar.
- CI posts a
UI Checkstyle / lint-src|lint-playwright|lint-core-components
failure (the bot lists the modified files in the job summary).
- After the assistant has finished authoring or editing any
.ts/.tsx/
.js/.jsx/.json under the three UI trees — before opening a PR or
pushing a commit that touches UI.
Arguments
--src (default for files under openmetadata-ui/.../ui/src/)
--playwright (files under .../ui/playwright/)
--core-components (files under openmetadata-ui-core-components/...)
--all — run all three areas
--check — verify only: run the sequence in a dry-run pass and report
which files are still dirty, without writing. Useful before push.
If invoked with no flag, auto-detect the affected areas from
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD and run only those.
Process
Step 1: Compute the file list
For each area you are running against:
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,json}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/||' > /tmp/src_files.txt
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/playwright/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/||' > /tmp/pw_files.txt
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui-core-components/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,json}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/||' \
> /tmp/core_files.txt
Skip any list that is empty — that area has no changes so the CI job for it
wouldn't run anyway.
Step 2: Run the CI sequence
From the corresponding working directory:
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
cat /tmp/src_files.txt | xargs ./node_modules/.bin/organize-imports-cli
NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=8192' cat /tmp/src_files.txt \
| xargs ./node_modules/.bin/eslint --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern --fix
cat /tmp/src_files.txt \
| xargs ./node_modules/.bin/prettier \
--config './.prettierrc.yaml' --ignore-path './.prettierignore' \
--write
For playwright, use the same three commands on /tmp/pw_files.txt.
For core-components, the organize-imports step is skipped (no CLI there) —
just eslint + prettier.
Step 3: Report what changed
cd <repo root>
git status --short
git diff --stat
If git status --short is empty, the tree is already clean — tell the user
and stop.
Step 4: Commit (only if the user asked to)
Do NOT auto-commit. Surface the list of modified files to the user; they
decide whether to fold the reformat into the in-progress commit or create a
dedicated "Fix UI checkstyle" commit (matches the repo's existing history for
bot-triggered formatting-only commits).
Notes
- The
--check mode mirrors CI's behavior: run the three commands and then
verify git status --short is empty. Revert any writes before exiting so
the user's working tree isn't touched.
- If ESLint reports hard errors (not warnings, not auto-fixable), stop and
surface them — they need a real code change, not a format pass. Warnings
(e.g.
playwright/no-wait-for-selector) don't fail CI and can be left.
- The analogous Java command is
mvn spotless:apply — see the
java-checkstyle skill.
- TypeScript type-check errors (
tsc) are a separate concern and are
not fixed by this skill — the tsc-src / tsc-playwright jobs are
currently either skipped or have their own failures surfaced via the CI
report.
