Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Audit a new or unfamiliar project to understand its structure, health, risks, documentation gaps, and next actions. Use when initially entering a repo, assessing project quality, preparing onboarding, or asking what should be improved first.Key capabilities
- →Map project components, stack, and entry points
- →Locate install, dev, test, lint, build, release, and deploy commands
- →Execute available non-destructive checks and record results
- →Review documentation for gaps or stale claims
- →Identify prioritized findings with evidence and suggested next actions
How it works
The skill audits a project by mapping its structure, finding commands, running safe checks, reviewing documentation, and inspecting risk areas. It then produces prioritized findings and suggested next actions.
Inputs & outputs
When to use audit
- →Onboarding to a new project
- →Assessing repository health
- →Identifying documentation gaps
About this skill
Audit
Input
- A repository, path, subsystem, branch, feature, diff, or audit question.
- Use explicit input first; otherwise infer from context, recent edits, selected files, or branch.
- Safest default: audit the current project at a high level.
Workflow
- Map the project. Identify purpose, stack, entry points, package structure, runtime, and ownership boundaries.
- Find commands. Locate install, dev, test, lint, typecheck, build, release, and deploy commands.
- Run safe checks. Execute available non-destructive checks when practical; record missing or failing checks.
- Review docs. Check README, architecture docs, API docs, devops docs, runbooks, and examples for gaps or stale claims.
- Inspect risk areas. Review security, dependencies, config, migrations, data handling, error paths, observability, and release/deploy posture.
- Identify issues. Produce prioritized findings with evidence, impact, and suggested next action.
- Fill obvious docs gaps. If requested, update small missing docs discovered during the audit.
Output
- Project map
- Available commands and check results
- Findings ordered by severity or leverage
- Documentation gaps
- Suggested next actions
- Work explicitly not audited
Guardrails
- Do not make broad changes during an audit unless the user asks.
- Do not run destructive commands or deploys.
- Distinguish observed facts from guesses.
- Prefer actionable findings over generic best-practice lists.
When not to use it
- →When broad changes are required during an audit
- →When destructive commands or deploys are needed
- →When generic best-practice lists are preferred over actionable findings
Limitations
- →Do not make broad changes during an audit unless the user asks
- →Do not run destructive commands or deploys
- →Distinguish observed facts from guesses
How it compares
This skill provides a structured audit workflow to understand an unfamiliar project's health and risks, unlike simply browsing code or documentation.

Use this when user wants you to walk through (code or text) files in a EDITOR to either explain how some code works, or to show the user what changes you made, etc. You would typically use this repeatedly to show the user your changes or code files one by one, sometimes with specific line-numbers. This way the user is easily able to follow along in their favorite EDITOR as you point at various files possibly at specific line numbers within those files.
