check

check is a command for Claude Code from Data-Wise/craft. It costs 8 tokens per session (2,826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-flight check for a software project: it runs the appropriate validation checks for a chosen situation before work continues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before development, testing, releases, or other project work to determine which validators should run and whether the project is ready.
Why use it?
It helps reveal readiness problems early and gives follow-up guidance when a check fails.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: arguments in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is docs_status=$(./scripts/docs-staleness-check.sh --json 2>/dev/null \.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 316 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/craft:check - Universal Pre-flight

This command is a thin(ner) shim. The canonical decision logic — which validators run for which --for context, mode budgets, follow-up routing on failure — lives in the preflight-check skill (skills/preflight-check/SKILL.md). This file keeps the parts that are invocation-specific and can't be deferred to skill-routing: the flag contract above, and the exact LLM-executable output format Claude must produce when this command runs (kept here per skills/code/command-skill-token-efficiency/SKILL.md's rule that anything the command always needs — even if skill-routing hasn't fired yet — stays in the command file).

Scope note: the pre-consolidation version of this command also carried full per-language project-detection walls (Python/Node/R/Go check lists), an extensive "community validator marketplace" section, and duplicated ASCII dry-run mockups for every mode/context combination. That's illustrative/aspirational content, not unique behavior — the skill's --for/mode tables already capture the decision logic, and .claude-plugin/skills/validation/*.md own the actual per-validator implementation. Dropped rather than ported; see the skill for anything that looks missing.

Usage

/craft:check                    # Quick validation
/craft:check thorough           # Deep validation
/craft:check --for commit       # Pre-commit checks
/craft:check --for pr           # Pre-PR checks
/craft:check --for release      # Pre-release checks
/craft:check --dry-run          # Preview checks
/craft:check -n                 # Preview checks
/craft:check --context              # Output session context only

Execution Behavior (MANDATORY)

When this command runs, Claude MUST follow these steps in order. Do NOT skip any step or proceed without showing the plan first.

Step 0: Show Check Plan

Before running ANY checks, display what will be checked:

Pre-flight Check Plan:
  Project: <project-name> (<project-type>)
  Mode: <mode>
  Branch: <current-branch>
  Guard: <protection-status>
  Context: <for-value or "general">

  Checks to run:
  1. <check-name> (<tool>)
  2. <check-name> (<tool>)
  ...
  N. <check-name> (<tool>)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

check is a command published in the GitHub repository Data-Wise/craft (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 2,826 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
