How do I automate code quality checks before shipping a release?▼

Automate code quality checks by running preflight delivery gates that enforce project-specific standards, verify changelog updates, and validate commit conventions to ensure release readiness.

What is a preflight release checklist and what does it validate?▼

A preflight release checklist is a comprehensive pre-delivery validation that audits code hygiene, ensures TODOs and FIXMEs are resolved, and confirms documentation is updated for externally visible changes.

How do I enforce commit conventions and check for unresolved TODOs before merging?▼

Enforce commit conventions and check unresolved TODOs by executing preflight code hygiene gates that validate commit history against standards and flag lingering TODOs or FIXMEs lacking proper issue linking.

Can I monitor test coverage regressions and documentation updates in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Yes, preflight integrates into CI/CD pipelines to perform coverage delta monitoring, preventing unintended test coverage regressions, and executing documentation audits for API and CLI changes.

Does preflight work without external dependencies for quality gate enforcement?▼

Yes, preflight operates with no external dependencies, executing comprehensive pre-delivery checks natively to validate code against project conventions and guarantee readiness for release.

What is the best way to ensure changelog verification and code hygiene before deployment?▼

The best way to ensure changelog verification and code hygiene is running a preflight skill that automates rigorous pre-shipment checks, confirming user-facing changes are documented and issue linking is enforced.
