Run Checks Locally
Run your checks locally before pushing to CI using the
/check command in your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent that supports skills).Install
npx skills add continuedev/skills --skill check
Run checks
Type
/check in your coding agent. It discovers every check file in .continue/checks/, runs each one as a subagent against your current branch, and reports the results. To run a single check, pass the file path: /check .continue/checks/security-review.md./check
Iterate on a check
The local feedback loop is: edit the check file, run
/check, read the output, refine. Because checks run inside your coding agent, you can ask it to fix issues in the same session:The migration safety check is flagging additive-only migrations as failures. Update the check to only flag destructive operations.
Run checks automatically
You can add
/check to your AGENTS.md so your coding agent runs checks automatically as part of its workflow — for example, after creating a PR:After creating or updating a pull request, run /check and fix any failures before requesting review.
Why local?
Running checks locally uses your existing coding agent and credits (Claude Max, API key, etc.). There's nothing extra to install or configure — if your agent can read your repo, it can run your checks.
