audit-prep

audit-prep is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccashwell/evm-cortex. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation checklist and working method for getting a smart-contract codebase ready for a security audit. It organizes scope, architecture, dependencies, known issues, tests, and analysis results for auditors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document which files and networks are included, explain contract relationships and permissions, review dependencies and earlier audits, and check test coverage.
Why use it?
It removes avoidable delays and confusion so auditors can spend more time examining contract behavior and possible vulnerabilities.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.

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-prep 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 1mo 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.

Pre-Audit Preparation

Overview

Audit preparation maximizes audit value. A well-prepared codebase lets auditors focus on finding real vulnerabilities instead of deciphering intent or fighting build issues.

Audit Preparation Checklist

1. Scope Definition

## Audit Scope

### In Scope
| File | SLOC | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| src/Vault.sol | 245 | Core vault logic, deposits/withdrawals |
| src/Strategy.sol | 189 | Yield strategy integration |
| src/Oracle.sol | 78 | Price feed wrapper |
| **Total** | **512** | |

### Out of Scope
- OpenZeppelin imports (v5.0.1) — audited separately
- Test files and deployment scripts
- Frontend / offchain components

### Deployment Chain(s)
- Ethereum Mainnet
- Arbitrum One

### EVM Version
- Shanghai (solc 0.8.24)

2. Architecture Documentation

Provide auditors with:

## Architecture

### Contract Relationships
Vault -> Strategy -> ExternalProtocol (Aave V3)
Vault -> Oracle -> Chainlink ETH/USD Feed
Governor -> Timelock -> Vault (parameter changes)

### Access Control
- Owner (2/3 multisig): pause, setFee, setStrategy
- Keeper (EOA): harvest, rebalance
- Users: deposit, withdraw, claim

### External Dependencies
| Dependency | Address | Trust Assumption |
|-----------|---------|-----------------|
| Aave V3 Pool | 0x8787... | Fully trusted |
| Chainlink ETH/USD | 0x5f4e... | Staleness checked |
| USDC | 0xA0b8... | Standard ERC20 |

### Value Flow
1. User deposits USDC -> Vault mints shares
2. Vault deploys USDC to Aave via Strategy
3. Strategy harvests yield -> increases share price
4. User redeems shares -> receives USDC + yield

3. Invariants Documentation

## Protocol Invariants

### Core Invariants (must NEVER be violated)
1. `vault.totalAssets() >= vault.totalSupply() * minSharePrice`
   - Shares are always redeemable for at least their initial value
2. `sum(userShares) == vault.totalSupply()`
   - No share inflation/deflation outside deposit/withdraw
3. `strategy.totalDeployed() + vault.idleAssets() == vault.totalAssets()`
   - All assets accounted for

### Economic Invariants
4. Share price monotonically increases (no value extraction)
5. Withdrawal amount <= deposit amount + accumulated yield
6. Fees never exceed configured maximum (10%)

### Access Control Invariants
7. Only owner can change strategy/oracle/fees
8. Only keeper can trigger harvest
9. Users can always withdraw (no permanent lock, even if paused)

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.

It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,386 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
