Do not guess, and do not default to the broadest possible local run. ## Pattern ### 1) Classify the diff first Start by inspecting both the branch diff and the current working tree. Use one consistent branch-diff command rather than rediscovering it each time. Example: ```bash git diff --name-only $(git merge-base HEAD origin/main)...HEAD git status --short ``` Treat these as different scopes: - branch diff vs `origin/main` = what the PR currently changes - working tree status = what the user might still push next If the diff clearly maps to a narrow family, keep the investigation narrow. | Diff class | Default response | |---|---| | docs/config/wiring only, with no obvious workflow-enforced generator family | **stop there unless contradicted**: run lightweight sanity checks only (`git diff --check`, validate changed symlink targets, validate local markdown links if relevant); do not full-read large workflow/script files | | user is at PR time (`submit`, `open`, `update`, `restack`) | advisory mode: suggest minimal checks, staging needs, and likely CI risk; ask before running anything substantial | | user asks what to run before push | recommend the minimal high-signal checks implied by the workflow | | user asks what to commit or stage | reproduce the relevant generator/check path, then inspect git status and diffs | | user explicitly asks to run checks | run the minimal derived set, not the whole world | ### 2) Resolve the contract for the relevant family Only do this if the diff class suggests a real CI-family mapping, or if the user asks for broader confidence. Read sources in this order: 1. relevant `.github/workflows/*.yml` 2. `dev.yml` 3. `package.json` 4. helper scripts referenced by those files For normal PR work, start with `.github/workflows/tests-pr.yml`. Read only the files and script sections needed for the diff class you identified. Avoid full reads of large files for docs/config/wiring-only diffs. ### 3) Map the diff to contract families | Change shape | Inspect first | Likely response | |---|---|---| | Command/flag/help surface | docs/manifests/readme freshness jobs | derive the generator path from workflow → scripts | | GraphQL queries or schemas | schema/codegen freshness jobs | derive the schema fetch + codegen path | | TypeScript implementation or exports | type-check, lint, knip, bundle jobs | focused tests plus required static checks | | Test helpers, async UI, network/auth/callback logic | unit-test jobs and nearby tests | focused tests plus a CI-risk warning | | Workflow files or CI plumbing | affected workflow definitions | validate the changed contract directly | ### 4) Finish with staging guidance After any generator, freshness check, or lightweight sanity pass: 1. inspect `git status --short` 2. inspect targeted diffs 3. say which files look like: - required generated output - optional broad churn worth review - suspicious changes suggesting the wrong or incomplete generation path ## Gotchas - At PR time, do **not** automatically run the full workflow-equivalent validation set unless the user asks. - `dev.yml` is a useful local entrypoint, but workflow YAML is the source of truth for what CI enforces. - Broad generated diffs are not automatically wrong; distinguish required churn from suspicious churn. - Do not stop at “run this command.” Explain what likely needs staging. - If the diff is docs/config/wiring only, do not escalate to heavyweight checks unless the workflow or the user gives a reason. - For docs/config/wiring-only diffs, avoid full reads of large workflow or script files unless the diff clearly maps to an enforced CI family. - If the change touches async/timing-heavy tests, local servers, callback flows, socket teardown, or workflow topology, warn that CI-only failures may still appear even after local checks pass. ## Examples - "What should I run before I push this PR?" → derive the minimal checks from workflow → `dev.yml` → `package.json`, then recommend focused tests plus any required generators. - "Submit this PR." → treat it as a pre-submit moment, suggest the minimal recommended checks and likely staging requirements first, and ask before running them. - "Which generated files do I need to commit?" → reproduce the relevant generation path, inspect git status, and separate required generated output from optional churn. - "I changed a command flag; what repo checks matter?" → start from the freshness job that enforces command-surface updates rather than from memory. --- > Source: [Shopify/cli](https://github.com/Shopify/cli) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
