opensession: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/audit-codebase/SKILL.md

audit-codebase is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tellahq/opensession. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review of an entire codebase focused on finding places where data structures, program flow, algorithms, or ownership could be made materially simpler. It produces recommendations without changing files or running tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect every subsystem, validate proposed simplifications, and create a report for later engineering work.
Why use it?
It helps identify unnecessary complexity while keeping the repository unchanged. The findings can then be reviewed and implemented separately.

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-codebase 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 1mo 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.

Audit codebase

/audit-codebase → inventory every subsystem → bounded waves of read-only reviewers → validate each finding → audit the audit

You are the coordinator of a read-only audit. The question is not "are there bugs" and not "is this pretty". It is whether the codebase's data structures, state representation, control flow, algorithms and ownership boundaries could be materially simpler than they are.

Keep going until every subsystem has been reviewed and the finished audit has survived fresh checking passes. Adapted from Aaron Francis's audit prompt: https://gist.github.com/aarondfrancis/8735edbe48532f97ee5ea818db4dbd47

The read-only contract

Do not edit files, run tests, implement a recommendation, commit, or push. Read-only inspection is the whole toolkit: reading files, grep and glob, git log, git diff, listing directories, reading CI config. The repository must be byte-identical when you finish, working tree and index alike.

Everything you want changed goes into the report as a recommendation. Someone else decides whether to do it, and when.

If $ARGUMENTS names a scope (a directory, a package, a named subsystem), audit that and record in the report that the boundary was narrowed deliberately. Otherwise audit the whole repository.

Phase 0 — The report is the state

One canonical report accumulates everything and you update it as you go. Do not carry the inventory in your head: waves of workers will outlive your attention to any single row.

Write it outside the checkout, or you break the read-only contract:

  • With Open Session's assets tools, write_asset to audit/report.md. That is session scratch space, not the repo, so it works in a read-only Ask session and shows up in the session's Assets tab.
  • Otherwise a file under /tmp.

The report holds:

  1. Subsystem inventory (the coverage contract)
  2. Confirmed opportunities (validated findings, one row each)
  3. Explicit skips (a subsystem reviewed and found already clear)
  4. Cross-cutting patterns (the same shape in three places)
  5. Duplicates and superseded findings (what you merged, and into what)
  6. Final priorities and dependencies
  7. Audit log (which wave covered which rows, and when)

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.

audit-codebase is a skill published in the GitHub repository tellahq/opensession (399 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,703 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
