What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of unknown missing institutional knowledge in codebases, which causes inconsistent changes, avoidable bugs, and wasted time re-discovering implicit rules during refactors, onboarding, or code reviews.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Single-pass substrate audit: Scans the entire repo or a named subsystem to inventory missing memory without dispatching extra reviewer agents, saving token costs.
- Prioritized gap reporting: Ranks missing substrate by leverage, focusing only on gaps that would prevent the most predictable future bugs rather than enumerating every minor missing artifact.
- Use case: Run this before a major refactor, when onboarding to a new codebase, or during periodic repo health checks to identify what specs, invariants, behavior matrices, gotchas, and enforcement rules are absent.
Quick Start
Use the audit-substrate skill to scan the current repository for all missing substrate and generate a prioritized list of high-leverage gaps to address.
