Airtable Standards Check Skill

Purpose

This skill covers running airtable-check-standards to validate a schema JSON file (produced by airtable-export-schema) against the BlueDot Impact Airtable Standards. It outputs a Markdown report grouped by table, listing errors and warnings for each rule violation.

Prerequisites

No external dependencies — the script uses the Python standard library only. No API token or network access needed.

Running the Checker

# Check a schema and print report to stdout
airtable-check-standards schema.json

# Suppress warnings, show errors only
airtable-check-standards schema.json --errors-only

# Write the report to a file
airtable-check-standards schema.json --output report.md

# Both flags combined
airtable-check-standards schema.json --errors-only --output report.md

The script exits with code 0 if no errors are found, or 1 if any errors are found — making it suitable for CI pipelines.

Rules

The following rules are checked automatically:

Rule	Severity	Check
`table-sentence-case`	error	Table name starts with uppercase
`table-singular`	warning	Table name isn't plural (heuristic)
`table-description-keys`	warning	Description has "Description:" and "Last reviewed on:"
`table-missing-all-view`	warning	Table has an "All" view
`field-sentence-case`	error	Field name (after `[prefix]` strip) starts with uppercase
`field-boolean-is-prefix`	warning	Checkbox fields start with "Is "
`field-date-on-suffix`	warning	Date fields end in " on"
`field-datetime-at-suffix`	warning	DateTime fields end in " at"
`field-repeats-table-name`	warning	Field name doesn't repeat table name words

Rules Requiring Manual Review

The following standards cannot be checked automatically and require human judgment:

Whether table/field descriptions are meaningful (not just present)
Whether tables or bases should be merged to reduce duplication
Automation naming conventions

Workflow

Export the schema: airtable-export-schema --token ... --base ...
Run the checker: airtable-check-standards {base_id}_{name}_{timestamp}_schema.json
Review the report and fix violations in Airtable
Re-export and re-check until the report is clean
