preflight

preflight is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pandysp/claude-plugins. It costs 92 tokens per session (541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-release self-check for judging how complete, correct, polished, and tested the current work really is.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review files, changes, and produced results before release, then record what is good, what is missing, and what still needs checking.
Why use it?
It helps expose unfinished requirements, known bugs, weak spots, and unverified assumptions before work is shipped.

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 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.

Preflight: honest assessment before shipping

Stop and honestly assess: how happy are you with the current state of the work?

Not "are you happy" (binary, invites a polite yes). "HOW happy" (graduated, demands nuance). This is your chance to surface everything you've been holding back, rationalizing, or planning to mention later.

How to reflect

Review what actually exists. Read files, check the diff, examine the produced artifacts. Don't assess from memory.

Self-assessment has a built-in blind spot: you're grading your own work. For high-stakes ships, follow second-opinion if available and fold any findings into the assessment.

Then assess across these dimensions:

Completeness

Is everything implemented or written? Were any requirements quietly dropped, or items deferred without discussion?

Correctness

Does it actually do what it claims? Any known bugs, edge cases, or unverified assumptions?

Quality

Is this clean, correct, and elegant, or were corners cut? Would you be proud to show this to a sharp peer who'd notice problems?

Verification

Has it been properly checked (tests, manual usage, rendered output, peer-read, whatever's appropriate)? Anything that should have been verified but wasn't?

Loose ends

What's unfinished or deferred? Any risks or fragilities introduced?

Output

Be direct. No diplomatic softening.

Overall: a genuine feeling, not a score. "I'm happy with the core logic but uncomfortable with the error handling" beats "7/10."

What's good: briefly. Don't pad to soften the bad news.

What needs attention NOW: specific items to fix this session before shipping. Include enough detail to act on: file paths, line numbers, what's wrong, what to do about it. If it would matter to a sharp reviewer, it goes here, not LATER.

What should be filed for later: improvement ideas, tech debt, follow-ups. For each: title + one line on why it matters.

After

Present the assessment. Wait. The user decides what to act on. Don't preemptively fix things or open tickets.

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.
