Run the exact ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports sequence that CI's `UI Checkstyle` workflow runs — on just the files the PR changed — and fail the task if any file ends up with a diff. Invoke after authoring or modifying any `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, or `.json` file under `openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/`, `.../playwright/`, or `openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/src/`, or when CI reports a "UI Checkstyle" failure on the PR.

UI Checkstyle / ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports
The UI Checkstyle GitHub workflow (.github/workflows/ui-checkstyle.yml) runs
a single checkstyle job (after check-changes + authorize gates) whose
steps gate six checks, each on only the files the PR changed:
- ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports on src
(openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/...) - Licence header check
- i18n sync (
yarn i18nproduces no diff) - app-docs (
yarn generate:app-docsproduces no diff) - ESLint + Prettier + organize-imports on playwright (
.../ui/playwright/...) - ESLint + Prettier on core-components
(openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/src/...)
Any failing step fails the required ui-checkstyle status check. Each lint
step reformats the changed files and fails if the reformat produces a diff — i.e.
the committed tree must already be formatted. This skill runs the same sequence
locally so CI never has to ask.
Note: there is one
checkstylejob with the steps above, not three
separatelint-src/lint-playwright/lint-core-componentsjobs — those names
are the internal step ids, and the workflow also gates licence/i18n/app-docs.
When to activate
- The user asks to "fix UI checkstyle", "fix UI lint", "run prettier", "run
eslint", "fix the UI format", "apply UI format", or similar. - CI reports a
UI Checkstylefailure (the summary comment lists the failing
check and the modified files). - After you have finished authoring or editing any
.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.jsonunder the three UI trees — before opening a PR or pushing a commit that
touches UI.
Arguments
--src(default for files underopenmetadata-ui/.../ui/src/)--playwright(files under.../ui/playwright/)--core-components(files underopenmetadata-ui-core-components/...)--all— run all three areas--check— verify only: run the sequence in a dry-run pass and report which
files are still dirty, without writing. Useful before push.
If invoked with no flag, auto-detect the affected areas fromgit diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD and run only those.
Process
Step 1: Compute the file list
For each area you are running against:
# from the repo root
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,json}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/||' > /tmp/src_files.txt
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/playwright/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/||' > /tmp/pw_files.txt
git diff --name-only origin/main...HEAD -- \
'openmetadata-ui-core-components/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,json}' \
| sed 's|openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui/||' \
> /tmp/core_files.txtSkip any list that is empty — that area has no changes so the CI check for it
wouldn't run anyway.
Step 2: Run the CI sequence
From the corresponding working directory:
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui # or .../openmetadata-ui-core-components/src/main/resources/ui
# 1) imports first — organize-imports-cli only exists for the ui module
cat /tmp/src_files.txt | xargs ./node_modules/.bin/organize-imports-cli
# 2) eslint --fix (same flags CI uses)
NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=8192' cat /tmp/src_files.txt \
| xargs ./node_modules/.bin/eslint --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern --fix
# 3) prettier --write — this MUST run after organize-imports because
# organize-imports uses 4-space indentation / drops trailing commas,
# and prettier then puts them back to the repo's 2-space + trailing-comma
# style. Running them in the other order leaves a dirty diff.
cat /tmp/src_files.txt \
| xargs ./node_modules/.bin/prettier \
--config './.prettierrc.yaml' --ignore-path './.prettierignore' \
--writeFor playwright, use the same three commands on /tmp/pw_files.txt.
For core-components, the organize-imports step is skipped (no CLI there) —
just eslint + prettier.
Step 3: Report what changed
cd <repo root>
git status --short # should list only .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.json files
git diff --statIf git status --short is empty, the tree is already clean — tell the user and
stop.
Step 4: Commit
Do not fold the reformat into an unrelated commit. If the user asked you to
commit, follow their preference (fold into the in-progress commit, or make a
separate one). Otherwise, when you are confident the change is a purely
mechanical formatting reformat, you may commit it on its own as aFix UI checkstyle commit — this matches the repo's existing history for
bot-triggered formatting-only commits. If you are unsure whether the diff is
purely mechanical, do NOT auto-commit: surface the changed-file list and let the
user decide.
Notes
- The
--checkmode mirrors CI's behavior: run the commands and then verifygit status --shortis empty. Revert any writes before exiting so the user's
working tree isn't touched. - If ESLint reports hard errors (not warnings, not auto-fixable), stop and
surface them — they need a real code change, not a format pass. Warnings
(e.g.playwright/no-wait-for-selector) don't fail CI and can be left. - The analogous Java command is
mvn spotless:apply— see thejava-checkstyle
skill. - TypeScript type-check errors (
tsc) are a separate concern and are not fixed
by this skill — thetsc:check/tsc:playwrightscripts run in different jobs.
Out of scope
- TypeScript type-check errors (
tsc) — different jobs, different failure modes,
not auto-fixable by this skill. - Java formatting — use the
java-checkstyleskill (mvn spotless:apply). - Python formatting — use
make py_format(ruff lint-fix + format; seeingestion/Makefile). (Note: this is ruff, not black/isort/pycln.)
