lfx-self-serve: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/preflight/SKILL.md

preflight is a skill for Claude Code from linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,493 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-submission checklist for a pull request, which is a proposed set of code changes for review. It runs mechanical checks such as formatting, linting, building, protected-file checks, and commit verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before opening a pull request to inspect the working tree, compare changes with the main branch, verify ticket references, and summarize the proposed changes.
Why use it?
It catches routine problems before the code is submitted for review. It also checks whether the branch and commits are ready to validate.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on lfx-self-serve itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything lfx-self-serve configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is printf '{"file_path":"%s"}' "$f" | bash .claude/hooks/guard-protected-files.sh.

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

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 26d 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 — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-Submission Preflight Check

You are running the mechanical pre-PR pipeline before the contributor submits a pull request. Every check here is shell-driven or hook-driven, no judgment calls. AGENTS.md's Pre-PR review section owns the review protocol; this skill is named in its Preflight value and owns only the checks below. Before running it, /lfx-self-serve-pr-readiness must be complete.

Run each check in order, report results clearly, and help fix any issues found.

Check 0: Working Tree Status

Before running any validation, check the state of the working tree:

git status
git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD
git log --format="%h %s%n%b" origin/main...HEAD

Evaluate:

  • Uncommitted changes? — Ask the contributor: commit now or stash?
  • No commits ahead of main? — The branch has nothing to validate. Ask if they're on the right branch.
  • Commit messages missing a ticket reference? — Flag commits that don't include #XXX (GitHub Issue) or the fully-qualified org/repo#XXX form (e.g. linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1331) in subject or body. See .claude/rules/commit-workflow.md § Ticket Tracking.
  • Commits missing --signoff? — Flag any commits without Signed-off-by: lines (visible in the full commit body above).

Resolve any issues before proceeding to the checks below.

Check 1: License Headers

./check-headers.sh

Every source file (.ts, .html, .scss) must have the license header:

  • TypeScript/SCSS: // Copyright The Linux Foundation and each contributor to LFX. + // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
  • HTML: <!-- Copyright The Linux Foundation and each contributor to LFX. --> + <!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT -->

If any files are missing headers, add them.

Check 2: Formatting

yarn format

This applies Prettier formatting with Tailwind class sorting. It modifies files in place.

Why format before lint: Prettier auto-fixes whitespace, import ordering, and line-length issues that would otherwise appear as lint errors. Running format first eliminates noise from the lint step.

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.
