flow-healer-local-validation

name: flow-healer-local-validation description: Run this skill when the user wants safe local validation before any live Flow Healer action. Use for requests like "run local checks", "validate the healer locally", "do a dry run first", or "make sure the repo is healthy before live GitHub actions".

Flow Healer Local Validation

Use this skill to verify the repo locally without touching live GitHub state.

Inputs

• Run from the repo root so the script can emit the correct repo_root.
• An optional .flow-healer-smoke-config.yaml enables the dry-run scan check.

Outputs

The script emits a JSON object with:

• repo_root
• checks

Key Output Fields

• repo_root
• checks[*].exit_code
• checks[*].output_tail

Success Criteria

• All checks pass: the local repo is healthy.
• pytest passes and the scan check is skipped: healthy enough for local work and preflight.
• Any non-zero check: blocked pending remediation.

Failure Handling

• Repair local test or environment failures before any live run.
• Stop and do not escalate to live smoke from a failing local gate.
• Do not assume future fields such as name, category, or duration_seconds; act only on the fields the script emits today.

Workflow

1. Run scripts/local_validation.py from the repo root.
2. Read repo_root first to confirm the check ran in the expected checkout.
3. Treat any non-zero checks[*].exit_code as a no-go for a live run until the failure is understood.
4. If the user only wants a plumbing test, you may stop after local validation.
5. If the user wants live mutation, hand off to the preflight or live-smoke skill with the command results.

Default Command

.venv/bin/python skills/flow-healer-local-validation/scripts/local_validation.py

Next Step

• Stop here for plumbing-only validation.
• Hand off to flow-healer-preflight before live GitHub work.

Load On Demand

• Use references/modes.md when deciding whether a fake/in-process run is enough or a live smoke is justified.
