What it does
Run Pre Gen Checks is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules. Run fast static checks that don't require generating downstreams, including git submodule verification, gofmt formatting, YAML linting, template validation (version-guard and unused-tmpl), mmv1 core unit tests, internal tool unit tests, and .ci/magician unit tests. Use this skill as a fast initial check for any changes.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run_pre_gen_checks.sh`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing and Linting and formatting. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Add Google Cloud Platform support to Terraform.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Unit testing
- Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
Example prompts
- “/run-pre-gen-checks”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run Pre-Generation & Static Checks Runner
- Output and Verification
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e794c9d. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitgo
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Run Pre Gen Checks loads about 492 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 194 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 194 words (~492 tokens).
“Execute the script to run all pre-generation static checks and unit tests in parallel:”
- name
- run-pre-gen-checks
Files
SKILL.md and 1 other file (scripts) in .agents/skills/utils/run-pre-gen-checks of GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules.
