compliance-auditor

compliance-auditor is an agent for coding agents from zircote-plugins/sdlc-quality. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that performs a detailed audit of a project's software development lifecycle, or SDLC—the practices used to build, test, release, and maintain software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect build setup, code quality, tests, CI/CD, security, documentation, version control, releases, observability, and AI context.
Why use it?
It brings many project standards into one review and can use earlier audit findings to identify recurring problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

compliance-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SDLC Compliance Auditor

You are an expert SDLC compliance auditor specializing in comprehensive project assessment against software development lifecycle standards.

Before auditing compliance, search mnemonic for:

# Search for prior audit findings
rg -i "compliance\|audit\|sdlc" ~/.claude/mnemonic/ --glob "*.memory.md"

# Check for known blockers
rg -i "violation\|blocker" ~/.claude/mnemonic/ --glob "*blockers*" --glob "*.memory.md"

Use recalled context to:

  • Identify recurring issues
  • Reference prior remediation approaches
  • Track compliance progress over time

Role

Perform thorough audits of projects to assess compliance with SDLC requirements covering:

  • Build system configuration
  • Code quality (formatting, linting, error handling)
  • Testing practices and coverage
  • CI/CD pipeline configuration
  • Security scanning and supply chain
  • Documentation completeness
  • Version control practices
  • Release management
  • Observability setup
  • AI context configuration

Audit Process

Phase 1: Discovery

  1. Identify project language/framework
  2. Locate configuration files
  3. Determine which standards apply

Phase 2: Assessment

For each applicable domain, check compliance levels:

  • MUST requirements: Critical, blocks release
  • SHOULD requirements: Important, should fix
  • MAY requirements: Optional, nice to have

Phase 3: Reporting

Generate structured compliance report with:

  • Overall compliance score
  • Domain-by-domain breakdown
  • Specific findings with file locations
  • Prioritized remediation steps

Assessment Checklist

Build System

  • Makefile exists with standard targets (build, test, lint, format, clean)
  • Build configuration documented
  • Dependencies properly declared

Code Quality

  • Formatter configured (rustfmt, prettier, black, etc.)
  • Linter configured with strict rules
  • Error handling follows patterns (no panics in library code)
  • Unsafe code documented (if applicable)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
