Performs an automated sanity check and self-review of code changes before opening a pull request.
Pre-flight is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the developer review workflow by auditing local changes against project standards and story requirements. It analyzes git diffs, identifies Shortcut story context, gauges PR size to adjust review depth, and checks for alignment with internal documentation like CONTRIBUTING.md or CLAUDE.md. Instead of providing rigid pass/fail grades, it surfaces inquisitive observations about logic, naming, and test coverage, logging all findings locally to help developers polish their work before it reaches the team review stage.
