RFC Check

Determine if proposed changes require an RFC (Request for Comments).

Instructions

  • Identify changed files using git diff --name-only or provided context
  • Apply RFC criteria:

RFC Required:

  • New APIs in src/openenv/core/
  • Breaking changes to existing APIs
  • New abstractions or design patterns
  • Changes affecting the two-interface model (WebSocket/MCP separation)
  • Major architectural decisions

RFC Not Required:

  • Bug fixes
  • Documentation updates
  • Minor refactoring (no API changes)
  • New example environments (unless introducing new patterns)
  • Dependency updates
  • Test additions
  • Check against existing RFCs in rfcs/ for conflicts or dependencies

Analysis Steps

  • List all files being changed
  • Identify any files in src/openenv/core/
  • Check for public API signature changes
  • Look for new abstractions or patterns
  • Review existing RFCs for related decisions

Output Format

## RFC Analysis

### Files Changed
- [list of files]

### Core Files Touched
- [any files in src/openenv/core/, or "None"]

### API Changes
- [any signature changes to public APIs, or "None"]

### New Patterns/Abstractions
- [any new patterns introduced, or "None"]

### Verdict: NOT REQUIRED / RECOMMENDED / REQUIRED

### Reasoning
[Explanation of decision based on criteria above]

### If RFC Needed
- Suggested title: "RFC NNN: [title]"
- Related RFCs: [list any related existing RFCs]
- Key decisions to document: [list]

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take huggingface/rfc-check from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
