ai-chief-of-staff: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/audit/SKILL.md

audit is a skill for Claude Code from jdpolasky/ai-chief-of-staff. It costs 28 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A periodic check of an agent workspace's memory, skills, stored notes, and links. It reports duplicate or outdated information, missing files, and other inconsistencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review memory indexes, check skill files, find stale project notes, and report broken links or repeated rules.
Why use it?
It helps reveal workspace drift before old rules, broken references, or conflicting notes cause unreliable results.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is jdpolasky/ai-chief-of-staff's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-chief-of-staff itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-chief-of-staff configures →

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Periodic integrity check. Run roughly every 7 sessions, or whenever the briefing surfaces an audit-due flag.

This is a read-mostly skill. Its job is to surface findings as a report. The user picks which fixes to make.

Read

In parallel:

  1. .claude/memory/MEMORY.md and every file it points at.
  2. Every SKILL.md under .claude/skills/.
  3. Command Center.md and To-Do.md from the vault.
  4. _system/memory_firings.log.

Checklist

Walk through these in order. For each, return findings with concrete file paths and line references where applicable.

1. Redundant or contradictory memory

Are any two memory files saying the same thing? Are any two saying contradictory things? List candidates for merging or reconciliation.

2. Stale memory

Read each memory file's description frontmatter against the actual contents. Does the description still describe what's in the file? Flag mismatches.

For project-type memories: do the projects still exist and look active? Closed-project memories should be moved or marked.

3. Index drift

Does MEMORY.md list every file in .claude/memory/? Is every file in the index actually present? Flag both directions of drift.

4. Broken links

Scan memory files and skills for wikilinks ([[...]]) and markdown links ([...](...)) pointing at vault files. Flag any whose target doesn't exist.

5. Skill drift

For each SKILL.md, does the skill's described behavior match what CLAUDE.md, the docs, and the vault templates actually support? A common drift: a skill references a file or pattern that has since been renamed or removed.

6. Decay analysis (gated)

Read _system/memory_firings.log. Count distinct session numbers. If under 10, skip this section with a short note: "Decay analysis is gated until the firings log holds 10 distinct sessions. Currently at N. Skipping."

If 10 or more, surface memory files that have not fired in the most recent 5 sessions. Don't recommend deletion. Surface for the user to review.

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.
