docs-analysis

To extract invariants from smart contract documentation, the skill analyzes project files like READMEs and whitepapers to identify explicit rules and infer implicit invariants that the protocol must uphold. It automates this reconnaissance phase by locating relevant docs using glob patterns and extracting key security information.

Trust assumption mapping in a DeFi protocol security audit details who is trusted, for what specific actions, and what safeguards are in place. The skill automates this by analyzing documentation to map out these trust boundaries and protocol mechanics for auditors.

To find relevant security documentation in a smart contract project, the skill uses glob patterns to automatically discover and prioritize files like READMEs, SECURITY.md, and whitepapers. This documentation discovery process accelerates the initial audit reconnaissance phase.

Yes, you can classify protocol type from whitepapers and READMEs automatically. The skill applies predefined questions and protocol type heuristics to the discovered documentation to quickly categorize the protocol and understand its core logic during security audits.

This documentation analysis approach works for smart contract protocols that maintain written documentation such as whitepapers or SECURITY.md files. It relies on discovering these text files to map trust assumptions and extract invariants, so undocumented protocols will not yield useful audit reconnaissance results.

The best way to speed up the reconnaissance phase of a smart contract audit is to automate documentation analysis. The skill rapidly generates a summary of core logic, security assumptions, and potential weak points directly from project docs, significantly accelerating auditor understanding.
