ci-preflight SKILL.md skillA

ci-preflight from the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/ci-preflight@git:20260616.c73a2fd

Pins git:20260616.c73a2fd in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run before pushing any branch that adds shipped files, hooks, or platform-specific code. Prevents the CI-whiplash pattern — multiple red pushes that could have been caught locally.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CI Preflight

> A green CI is not a reward for guessing correctly. It's the outcome of a local gate that already ran.

## The three CI-whiplash anti-patterns

This skill exists because these three failures happen repeatedly and all have the same root cause: pushing before checking.

### Anti-pattern 1: Missing registration surfaces

**What happens:** A new shipped file (hook, agent, command, module) passes unit tests but fails integration tests because it wasn't added to one of several whitelists/registries/inventories the repo maintains.

**Why it's hard:** These surfaces are spread across multiple files with no obvious connection — you find one and miss two others.

**Rule:** Before pushing any new file that ships to users, run a completeness search.

```bash
# Find every place "existing-hook.js" is referenced in the repo
grep -r "gsd-existing-hook" . --include="*.js" --include="*.cjs" --include="*.md" --include="*.json" -l
```

Use an existing sibling file as the probe: if `gsd-existing-hook.js` appears in N files, your new hook must appear in the same N files. Missing even one fails CI.

**In this repo, adding a new hook requires updating all of:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/ci-preflight@sha256:62338e08b8a801af

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.c73a2fd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
