How it fires

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

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).
