The instructions your AI receives, as published by flowexec/flow in .claude/skills/validate/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Run the validate executable via mcp__flow__execute (ref: validate) rather than a raw shell
call, so the run inherits workspace env/secrets and is captured in flow's history.
It runs these steps in order: generate → lint → test → validate generated (checks for uncommitted generated diffs in CI).
For each failure, diagnose and fix before moving on:
- generate fails: Schema syntax error in the source schema —
types/executable/*_schema.yaml, ortypes/{config,workspace,common}/schema.yaml. Read and fix the schema, never the.gen.gooutput. - lint fails: Read the golangci-lint output, fix each violation, re-run
- test fails: Read the Ginkgo output, identify the failing spec, fix the root cause — do not skip or comment out tests
- validate generated fails: Generated files are out of sync — re-run the
generateexecutable and stage the regenerated files; this is always the fix
Use mcp__flow__get_execution_logs with mine: true to re-read output from a run instead of
re-running it.
Do not report done until validate exits 0 with all steps passing.
