keystone-audit

keystone-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tacoda/keystone. It costs 26 tokens per session (360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A periodic review of a project’s charter, meaning its stored coding rules, guides, and checks. It looks for outdated, unused, incomplete, or inconsistent material and reports proposed additions and removals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it monthly or after a major refactor or technology change to review and record charter maintenance work.
Why use it?
It helps prevent project instructions from drifting away from the codebase or accumulating rules that no longer apply.

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

keystone-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 6d 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

keystone:audit — periodic dual-flywheel review

The Pruning flywheel's main entry point, paired with one Learning sweep. Walks the corpus + guides looking for stale, dead, or unused content; proposes archive moves with a one-line reason per item.

Canonical playbook: .charter/actions/audit.md. Read it for the 12-category Pruning checklist (stale rules, dead idioms, placeholders, failing sensors, empty shells, uncited policies, unresolved gaps, drifted state, strict-cascade violations, required-item gaps, risk fingerprint, traffic topology).

Run

Open .charter/actions/audit.md and execute every section. Output is one report with Learn / Prune sections, each listing concrete proposed charter edits. Pruning diffs land in .charter/corpus/state/charter-debt.md.

When to trigger

  • Monthly cadence (recommended).
  • After any major refactor or stack change.
  • When the dashboard's debt count starts to feel wrong.

Asymmetry

Guides churn often; corpus rarely. Audit reflects that — guide proposals are routine, corpus proposals are rare and load-bearing.

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.
