ijfw-preflight

ijfw-preflight is a skill for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ijfw. It costs 47 tokens per session (391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local release-readiness check that runs a sequence of code, security, dependency, packaging, and upgrade checks. It stops at blockers and reports findings with a success or failure exit code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating a Git release or tag to check shell scripts, JavaScript and TypeScript, PowerShell, package publishing, dependencies, secrets, licenses, and upgrade behavior.
Why use it?
It gathers many checks into one command instead of requiring separate manual runs before shipping. It can also identify issues such as leaked secrets, vulnerable packages, dead code, and incompatible licenses.

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

ijfw-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 3d 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

IJFW Preflight

Runs 11 deterministic quality gates locally. Ordered fast-to-slow, fail-fast on blockers. Returns exit 0 on clean, exit 1 on findings.

Usage

ijfw preflight

What it checks

  1. shellcheck -- shell script correctness
  2. oxlint -- fast JS/TS linting
  3. eslint-security -- high-signal JS security rules
  4. psscriptanalyzer -- PowerShell scripts, with static fallback when pwsh is absent
  5. publint -- package.json publish hygiene
  6. gitleaks -- secret / credential scan
  7. audit-ci -- npm dependency vulnerability check
  8. knip -- dead code and unused exports
  9. license-check -- dependency license compatibility
  10. pack-smoke -- npm pack roundtrip + ijfw --help assert
  11. upgrade-smoke -- upgrade from floor version, assert settings key survives

Behavior

  • Each gate degrades gracefully to "skipped: tool not installed" when its CLI is absent (except blockers, which print actionable install hints).
  • All output uses positive framing. No "failed" headers -- findings are reported as "surfaced N points".
  • Runs under 90s on M-series laptop with warm caches.
  • Pinned tool versions tracked in .ijfw/preflight-versions.json.

When to run

  • Before every git tag / release.
  • After any change to shell scripts, package.json, or dependency list.
  • In CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml runs ijfw preflight on every push).
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.
