audit-hld

audit-hld is a skill for Claude Code from GoogilyBoogily/googilyboogily-claude-power-tools. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for a High-Level Design (HLD), a document describing a system’s overall structure. It checks the document against templates, sources, related decisions, architecture details, and available context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an HLD, optionally comparing it with a context file and an Architecture Decision Record (ADR), a document that records an important technical choice. It presents issues one at a time with possible ways to resolve them, including code and web research.
Why use it?
It helps find missing, unsupported, or inconsistent parts before an architecture plan is used for implementation.

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-hld 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 12d 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.

HLD Audit

Audit a High Level Design document for quality, completeness, and correctness. Each issue is presented to the user one at a time with multiple resolution options, always including a research option that forks parallel code + web research agents.

Input

$ARGUMENTS — path to the HLD document, and optionally:

  • --context <path> — context file from the gather phase (enables context fidelity checks)
  • --adr <path> — predecessor ADR (enables ADR alignment checks)

Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

  • HLD Path: First non-flag argument
  • Context File Path: --context <path> (optional)
  • ADR Path: --adr <path> (optional)

Process

Phase 1: Load Documents

  1. Read the HLD at the provided path.
  2. If --context provided, read the context file.
  3. If --adr provided, read the ADR.
  4. Read the audit checklist at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/checklist.md.

Phase 2: Run All Checks

Run every check from the checklist. Build a prioritized issue queue:

  1. 🔴 CRITICAL issues first
  2. 🟡 WARNING issues next
  3. 🔵 INFO issues last
  4. ❓ Open Questions last

Phase 3: Present Summary

## HLD Audit Summary: [HLD Title]

**Document:** [path]
**Context file:** [path or "not provided"]
**ADR:** [path or "not provided"]

Found **N issues** and **M open questions**:
- 🔴 CRITICAL: [count]
- 🟡 WARNING: [count]
- 🔵 INFO: [count]
- ❓ Open Questions: [count]

Starting sequential resolution...

If zero issues, skip to Phase 5 with PASS verdict.

Phase 4: Sequential Resolution

For each issue, present using AskUserQuestion with:

  • At least 2 fix options (one marked ⭐ recommended)
  • Always "🔍 Research code & web" option
  • Always "Skip" as last option

When "🔍 Research code & web" is chosen:

Dispatch two parallel Tasks:

Task 1 — Code Research:
  "Search the codebase to answer: [specific question about the HLD issue].
   Focus on: [relevant files, patterns, interfaces].
   Return findings with file:line citations."

Task 2 — Web Research:
  "Search online to answer: [specific question about the HLD issue].
   Focus on: [best practices, patterns, known issues].
   Return findings with URLs."

What ships with it

1 file 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.
