How to validate .skf files in Python

Python
def is_skf(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid SKF by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x07, 0x53, 0x4B, 0x46])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(4) == signature

How to validate .skf files in Node.js

Node.js
function isSKF(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x07, 0x53, 0x4B, 0x46]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 4).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .skf files in Go

Go

    if len(data) < 4 {
        return false
