meta-audit

meta-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,665 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audit skill for Claude subagent configuration files. It checks agent definitions and local permission settings for missing information, excessive access, and unsuitable model choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review files in .claude/agents/, validate their required settings, and check whether each agent has only the access it needs.
Why use it?
It helps find configuration and security problems before agents are used or committed to a project.

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

meta-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 yesterday.

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.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use custom-agent-definitions instead when...
Reviewing existing .claude/agents/*.md files for missing frontmatter, overprivileged tools, or wrong models Authoring a new agent definition file from scratch
Validating read-only vs write-enabled agent privilege boundaries before committing Configuring a single agent's model, allowed-tools, or context: fork
Auditing agents across an entire project for naming and security consistency Copying or generalising another project's agents (use meta-assimilate)

Context

  • Agent definitions: !find . -path '*/.claude/agents/*' -name "*.md" -not -name "settings*"
  • Settings file: !find . -path '*/.claude/agents/*' -maxdepth 3 -name "settings.local.json" -type f

Your task

1. Discovery Phase

  • Use Glob to find all agent definition files in .claude/agents/
  • Read each agent file to extract frontmatter and configuration
  • Identify the settings.local.json for permission overrides

2. Frontmatter Validation

For each agent, verify required fields are present:

  • name: Agent identifier (must match filename)
  • model: an alias (opus, fable, sonnet, haiku, inherit) or a current full ID (e.g. claude-fable-5-1); a dated ID from a superseded generation (claude-opus-4-7, claude-sonnet-4-6) is a finding — recommend the alias unless the pin is deliberate
  • ℹ️ effort: optional lowmax (overrides the session effort while the agent runs; default inherits); recommend low where the body describes mechanical work
  • color: Hex color code for UI (e.g., "#E53E3E")
  • description: Clear usage guidance with "Use proactively when..."
  • tools: Tool list or "All" for full access

Flag issues:

  • Missing required fields
  • Mismatched name vs filename
  • Invalid model names
  • Malformed color codes

3. Tool Assignment Analysis

Evaluate tool assignments for security and appropriateness:

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.

meta-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository laurigates/claude-plugins (58 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,665 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
