ax-audit

ax-audit is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 39 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review of an AI agent or feature against rules for architecture and the user experience of working with an agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect source code or described behavior, record findings with locations, rank their severity, and return a pass, fail, or incomplete verdict.
Why use it?
It finds trust, design, and implementation problems before an AI feature is considered ready to ship.

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 enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

ax-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.

AX audit

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Human asks for an agentic experience audit, an AX review, whether something is agent-native, a critique of an AI feature, or whether it earns user trust
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect Chat output only: a read-only severity-tiered report with a ship-readiness verdict and an AX Relationship Summary
Done Delivered findings with locators (file:line for source, logical bounds for described behavior), an AX Relationship Summary, and a PASS/FAIL/INCOMPLETE verdict

Inputs

  • Target agent system or AI feature under audit: source path, repository, or described behavior. Required.
  • Scope boundary: which files, modules, or interaction surfaces are in scope. Required.
  • Specific concern or focus area the human wants prioritized. Optional.

Procedure

  1. Read the target source or described behavior within the stated scope. Do not mutate anything. Done when: the target is read within the scope boundary.

  2. Evaluate the target against two audit axes, each with four rule families. Record every finding with a locator: file:line for source-backed targets, or logical bounds (described behavior, interaction surface, or module name) for behavior-only targets.

    Architecture axis (rules-arch):

    • Communication: approval gate present where the agent should act autonomously; completion signal missing or ambiguous; progress not visible to the user during long work.
    • Context: no checkpoint or resume across sessions; context injection absent or brittle; context starvation where the agent lacks information it needs to act.
    • Granularity: static API mapping where tools mirror raw endpoints instead of workflow-shaped actions; tools too coarse or too fine for the task shape.
    • Parity: CRUD coverage incomplete; tool or UI parity gaps where an action exists in one surface but not the other; orphaned UI actions with no backing tool.

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.
