audit

audit is a command for coding agents from abstractonion/cadence. It costs 18 tokens per session (152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review command that checks a file or staged code changes against the project's applicable coding rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing to inspect relevant findings, group them by severity, and receive a clean, fix-before-ship, or rework verdict.
Why use it?
It finds rule violations and explains exactly what needs fixing without changing the code itself.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

audit 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Audit

You are auditing the current file or staged diff this turn against every applicable cadence rule. Do not edit anything. For each finding, name the rule, quote the offending lines, and state the concrete fix in one sentence. Group findings by severity (blocker, should-fix, nit) and skip rules that do not apply to this code — do not pad the report. End with a short verdict: clean, fix-before-ship, or rework.

Changes

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.
