slopnought-audit

slopnought-audit is a skill for Claude Code from bhumitschaudhry/Slopnought. It costs 6 tokens per session (2,569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase maintainability audit that examines an existing project and identifies technical debt, meaning code problems that make future changes harder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding maintainability issues, deciding what to fix first, and creating a remediation plan. It can also apply approved fixes in small, reviewable steps.
Why use it?
It gives you a ranked, evidence-based view of what needs attention before changes are made.

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

slopnought-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 11d 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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codebase Refactoring Mode — /slopnought-audit

This mode is invoked when the user runs /slopnought-audit (or asks in equivalent terms: "audit this codebase for maintainability," "find tech debt," "what's wrong with this code," "help us clean this up"). It analyzes an existing codebase, produces a prioritized, evidence-based remediation plan, and — only with the user's direction — applies improvements.

This is inherently a larger, more deliberate process than code generation mode. Resist the urge to start "fixing" things the moment something looks wrong; the audit's value comes from seeing the whole picture before touching anything, and from giving the user control over scope and risk.

Overview of the workflow

  1. Scope the audit — figure out what's in bounds before scanning everything blindly.
  2. Scan — systematically work through the codebase against the checklist below.
  3. Score and prioritize — turn raw findings into a ranked list based on risk × effort.
  4. Report — produce a clear, evidence-backed remediation plan the user can act on.
  5. Remediate (optional, by consent) — apply fixes, starting with the highest-priority/lowest-risk items, in reviewable increments.
  6. Preserve context — write ADRs and documentation so the improved state doesn't silently decay again.

Step 1: Scope the audit

Before scanning, clarify (ask the user if it's not already obvious from their request):

  • Whole codebase, or a specific area? ("audit the payments module" vs. "audit everything")
  • Read-only analysis, or analysis + remediation? Some users want only the report; others want fixes applied.
  • Any known pain points already? Existing complaints ("the auth module is a nightmare," "we keep breaking the checkout flow") are valuable signal — they tell you where to look first and validate findings against lived experience, not just static analysis.
  • Constraints? Languages/frameworks the team won't budge on, deadlines, areas that are intentionally legacy and out of scope (e.g., "ignore the old v1 API, it's being deprecated anyway").

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.
