At a glance

Run Houndarr's full quality gate (ruff lint, ruff format check, mypy, bandit, pytest) and report results in a single table.

  • Works in 5 steps: Lint → Format Check → Type Check → …
  • The user asks to run quality gates
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Lint, 2. Format Check, 3. Type Check and 4. SAST, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls python and pytest

What it does

Check is an agent skill from av1155/houndarr. Run Houndarr's full quality gate (ruff lint, ruff format check, mypy, bandit, pytest) and report results in a single table. Use when the user asks to run quality gates, check the code, run all checks, or invokes /check. Trigger phrases include quality gate, check, lint, run all checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Linting and formatting, Quality gates and Type safety. It works with Ruff, pytest and Python. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted arr companion for controlled missing, cutoff, and upgrade searches. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to run quality gates
  • Phrases include quality gate

Example prompts

  • “/check”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Lint
  2. Format Check
  3. Type Check
  4. SAST
  5. Tests

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b39fdb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pytest

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Check loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~366

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Full Quality Gate Review

Run every quality check in sequence. Report results clearly. Stop and fix if any check fails.

1. Lint

.venv/bin/python -m ruff check src/ tests/

Report: pass or fail with error count.

2. Format Check

.venv/bin/python -m ruff format --check src/ tests/

If files are unformatted, run .venv/bin/python -m ruff format src/ tests/ to fix, then re-check.

3. Type Check

.venv/bin/python -m mypy src/

Report: pass or fail with error count and locations.

4. SAST

.venv/bin/python -m bandit -r src/ -c pyproject.toml

Report: pass or fail with any findings.

5. Tests

.venv/bin/pytest

Report: total tests, passed, failed, skipped.

Summary

Present a single table:

CheckResultDetails
Lint (ruff)......
Format (ruff)......
Type check (mypy)......
SAST (bandit)......
Tests (pytest)......

If all pass, say "All quality gates pass." and nothing else. If any fail, list the specific failures and suggest fixes. Do NOT recite exact test counts in a reporting style.
