code-audit

code-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from David405/harness-kit. It costs 81 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scheduled review of a whole subsystem’s code at a specific commit or tag. It lists code-quality improvements by severity, confidence, and risk without changing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for milestone, quarterly, pre-handover, pre-hardening, or pre-refactor reviews. It checks the full subsystem and records findings, including areas with no material problems.
Why use it?
It helps decide where refactoring effort is worthwhile and what can be changed safely. It also keeps the review separate from checks of a single code change.

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

code-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 2mo 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

Code audit

Kit-owned. Edit in the harness-kit repo, not in the consumer repo.

Periodic, never per sprint. The gate asks "can this diff ship?"; this asks "where should we invest refactoring effort, and what is safe to touch?"

When to use

Milestone, quarter, pre-hardening, pre-handover, or before a large refactor.

When not to use

Per-contract checking → code-quality-gate. Security review of contracts → solidity-audit.

The absolute constraint

Refactor implementation, not behaviour. Every recommendation preserves externally observable behaviour. Where cleanliness and behavioural safety conflict, safety wins. Equivalence is proven, not asserted: characterization tests must pass against the code as it stands today, then pass unchanged after the refactor.

Any uncertainty downgrades a finding to "Potential improvement — requires behavioural verification".

Rules that matter

  • Declare scope and the audited commit or tag. Findings without a ref are unactionable.
  • Work all 15 taxonomy categories; record "no material findings" rather than omitting one.
  • Validate before reporting — call sites, consumers, tests, framework registration.
  • Materiality test: unconventional but clear, safe, locally appropriate code is not a finding.
  • Suspected functional bugs are reported, never fixed inside the audit.
  • The audit proposes a FEATURES.json seed; a human accepts findings into the ledger.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
