Validate
Run the narrowest checks that cover the files you have changed.
Triggers
Use this skill when asked to validate, lint, type-check, or test changes before committing.
Steps
-
Identify which file types were changed (Python, JS/TS, shell, Markdown/agent docs, or mixed).
-
Run only the checks relevant to changed files:
**Python (**/\*.py)**
uv run ruff format --check <paths>
uv run ruff check <paths>
uv run pytest <test-target>
**JS / TS (**/_.ts, \*\*/_.js, etc.)**
bunx @biomejs/biome check <paths>
bun run tsc --noEmit
**Shell (**/\*.sh)**
shellcheck <paths>
**Agent / skill docs (claude/agents/**, claude/skills/**, .github/skills/**)**
bun run lint:claude
-
Fix reported issues in the changed files only. Do not touch unrelated files.
-
Re-run the affected check to confirm it passes before reporting success.
Invariants
- Never remove or skip a check to make it pass.
- Do not modify test files to suppress failures unless the test itself is wrong.
- Report any pre-existing failures that are unrelated to your changes rather than silently fixing them.
