Pre-Flight Check Skill
Role: Check essential info and project status before starting work to reduce omissions.
Inputs
- •Feature name/branch name (optional)
- •Required doc paths: CLAUDE.md, context.md, etc.
Checklist
- •UI spec version/design assets availability
- •API spec availability
- •Similar feature references
- •git status/branch, build status
- •context.md freshness, unresolved items in pending-questions.md
- •Document Memory Policy check:
- •context.md token usage (warn if > 6,000 tokens, ~80% of limit)
- •specification.md exists and is summarized (if large spec)
- •archives/ directory structure in place
Output (example)

# Pre-flight Check Results
## Required Info
OK UI spec: v3 (YYYY-MM-DD)
OK API spec: draft available
WARN similar feature reference: not found
## Project Status
OK git status: clean
OK branch: feature/{feature-name}
OK build status: success
## Docs
OK CLAUDE.md: latest
WARN context.md: missing (needs creation)
## Document Memory Policy
OK context.md tokens: ~3,200 (under 8,000 limit)
OK specification.md: summarized (full in archives/)
OK archives/ directory: exists
## Recommended Actions
1. [HIGH] Create context.md (ContextBuilder Agent)
2. [MEDIUM] Verify design assets (invoke design-spec-extractor)
Anti-Pattern Check
Detect common mistakes based on "How to write a good spec for AI agents" guide
Checklist
| Anti-Pattern | Detection Method | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Vague prompts | "Make something cool", "Make it work better" | ⚠️ |
| Large context without summary | specification.md > 3,000 tokens + no summary | ⚠️ |
| Missing 6 core areas | PROJECT.md lacks commands/tests/structure/style/Git/boundaries | ⚠️ |
| Vibe coding ↔ Production confusion | Attempting production deploy without tests | ⚠️ |
| Ignoring deadly trinity | Proceeding without verification for speed/non-determinism/cost | ⚠️ |
Recommended Actions on Detection
| Detected Anti-Pattern | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Vague request | Invoke requirements-analyzer to clarify |
| Large document | Follow document-memory-policy.md to summarize |
| Missing areas | Recommend PROJECT.md review, reference template sections |
| No tests | Recommend writing tests before completion-verifier |
Output Example
markdown
## Anti-Pattern Check Results | Item | Status | Action | |------|--------|--------| | Clear request | ✅ | - | | Context size | ✅ | ~2,500 tokens | | 6 core areas | ⚠️ | Git workflow undefined | | Test defined | ✅ | - | **Recommended Actions:** 1. [MEDIUM] Add Git Workflow section to PROJECT.md
