SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Agent Skills accumulate redundant instructions, broken routes, hidden dependencies, and portability assumptions over time, and there is no structured way to review them. This Skill provides a disciplined, read-only audit workflow that evaluates a skill or skill library across five dimensions and only mutates files after an explicit housekeeping request. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dimension-based routing: Load only the reference contracts you need—instruction quality, decomposition, routing metadata, implementation, or housekeeping—instead of reading everything. - Read-only audit by default: Gathers evidence from canonical sources, cites file and location, and never runs mutating commands during an audit. - Gated housekeeping mode: Applies selected findings only after explicit approval, with preimage backups, atomic writes, and partial-failure recovery. - Use Case: Point it at a skill folder that has grown bloated and say "boil this skill" to get a disposition list (KEEP, CUT, REWRITE, MOVE, SPLIT, ENFORCE) with severity and conflict annotations for every material instruction. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit the skill in a given directory, for example by saying "audit this skill in skills/my-skill and report instruction quality and routing issues".

Frequently Asked Questions about skills-audit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an Agent Skill for instruction quality?

Invoke the audit with a phrase like "audit this skill" or "/skills-audit" and point it at the skill directory. It resolves the canonical source, loads the instruction-quality reference, and reports each material instruction with a disposition such as KEEP, CUT, REWRITE, MOVE, SPLIT, or ENFORCE.

How do I safely apply findings from a skill audit?

Request housekeeping explicitly, for example "apply selected skill findings". The skill loads its housekeeping gate, shows the selected findings, canonical targets, and recovery plan, and writes only after your approval, keeping verified preimages until verification succeeds.

Does the skills audit modify files by default?

No. The default mode is a read-only audit that gathers evidence and reports findings. It enters the mutating housekeep mode only after an explicit edit, housekeeping, or apply-selected-findings request, and only after approval of the exact write set.

What is the difference between skills-audit, directives-audit, and prose-audit?

skills-audit covers invocation, workflow, decomposition, frontmatter, references, dependencies, and portability of a skill. directives-audit owns standing authority and cross-task safety scope, while prose-audit handles reader-facing wording after operational meaning is fixed.

Can the audit verify that an installed skill matches its source?

Yes, but only with exclusive evidence. It claims source-to-consumed parity only from a target-exclusive comparison of bytes, hashes, or package contents, and claims consumed behavior only from bounded execution with positive and negative controls.
