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

Install the check skill: 
npx skills add continuedev/skills --skill check
If you don’t have any checks yet, see Write Your First Check.

​
Run checks

Type /check in your coding agent. It discovers every check file in .continue/checks/, runs each one as a sub-agent against your current branch, and reports the results. 
/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

Add /check to your AGENTS.md so your coding agent runs checks as part of its workflow:
AGENTS.md
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. To run checks automatically on every PR in CI, see Run Checks in CI.
