azd-preflight

azd-preflight is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Azure/azure-dev. It costs 174 tokens per session (406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running the azd project’s preflight checks with the Mage build tool. It checks code quality, formatting, spelling, copyright, builds, and tests, then applies fixes where possible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before submitting azd changes to run linting, formatting, spelling, copyright, build, and test checks, including targeted checks for changed changelog files.
Why use it?
It gathers many checks into one repeatable process and removes the need to find and fix each failure manually. It reruns the checks after changes and reports anything that still needs a person’s decision.

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

azd-preflight 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

azd-preflight

Runs the full azd preflight suite and auto-fixes failures.

Overview

The azd preflight suite (mage preflight) validates code quality across 9 checks before changes are submitted. This skill runs the suite, parses failures, applies automated fixes, and re-runs until all checks pass — or escalates to the user when a fix requires human judgment.

{{ references/preflight-checks.md }}

{{ references/workflow.md }}

{{ references/output-and-errors.md }}

Exit Criteria

  • All 9 preflight checks pass (or user explicitly chose to skip specific checks)
  • Every changed CHANGELOG.md passes its targeted spell check
  • All auto-applied fixes are saved to disk (not staged or committed — the user decides when to commit)
  • A clear summary of what passed, what was fixed, and what was skipped is displayed
Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
