Runs the full azd preflight suite and auto-fixes failures.
Overview
The azd preflight suite (mage preflight) validates code quality across 8 checks before
changes are submitted. This skill runs the suite, parses failures, applies automated fixes,
and re-runs until all checks pass — or escalates to the user when a fix requires human judgment.

Exit Criteria
- All 8 preflight checks pass (or user explicitly chose to skip specific checks)
- All auto-applied fixes are saved to disk (not staged or committed — the user decides when to commit)
- A clear summary of what passed, what was fixed, and what was skipped is displayed

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
Comprehensive GitHub code review with AI-powered swarm coordination
Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions, and define verifiable success criteria.
Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes (staged or working tree) and remote Pull Requests (by ID or URL). It focuses on correctness, maintainability, and adherence to project standards.
Refactor bloated AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or similar agent instruction files to follow progressive disclosure principles. Splits monolithic files into organized, linked documentation.
Create high-quality git commits: review/stage intended changes, split into logical commits, and write clear commit messages (including Conventional Commits). Use when the user asks to commit, craft a commit message, stage changes, or split work into multiple commits.
