audit

A read-only security check of the installed Guild scripts, including their file hashes, network and filesystem behavior, and file-boundary rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review installed scripts and save a dated audit report without changing them.
Why use it?
It helps identify unexpected script changes or scripts writing Guild data outside the project's designated directory.

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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/guild:audit — self-maintenance (Guild-on-Guild)

Static security audit of installed Guild scripts. Maps to skill guild:audit. R static analysis — includes the static boundary-check section.

Gates

None — R (static analysis only).

Output

.guild/audit/<date>.md, including the boundary-check section: it scans for any Guild-owned-file signature (frontmatter type:, a schema_version: guild.* marker, or a task_run-declared artifact kind) written outside the consuming repo's .guild/ (including any runtime write into the plugin install dir) and flags each as a boundary violation. This is the static belt to the PreToolUse guard's runtime suspenders; both reuse existing surfaces and add no new gate.

Run-start preflight (settings-control-and-tmux U3/U6)

Before the static audit begins — and before run-trace start — the run-trace CLI runs this preflight for you — you do not call runStartPreflight yourself.

Since wave 2, run-trace.js start (below) is the sole caller of runStartPreflight (scripts/lib/runstart-preflight.ts; canonical contract in guild.md §Run-start preflight): on start the CLI resolves the 7-source inheritance chain, validates closed keys, probes tmux, detects providers, and writes .guild/runs/<id>/resolved-settings.json (+ a compact settings_ref in run.yaml) automatically before the run opens. If this command needs the resolved config — e.g. the dispatch backend effective.agent_mode — read the snapshot back with readResolvedSettingsSnapshot(runId, { cwd }); never re-resolve.

Run recording

Before the audit skill is invoked, start a run (SC-B, §435):

node ${GUILD_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.local/share/guild/dist/claude-code}}/hooks/dist/run-trace.js start \
  --command=/guild:audit \
  --cwd "$(pwd)"

run-class default (full). Records the run before the SHA-256 hash scan so the complete session — boundary-check and static analysis — is replayable from the entrypoint. Audit writes to .guild/audit/ — not .guild/initiatives/ (NN#5 unaffected). No --initiative flag.

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.

audit is a command published in the GitHub repository lookatitude/guild (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 688 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
