audit-agents-md

audit-agents-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from testzugang/pi-plugins. It costs 38 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review checklist for AGENTS.md, the file that gives coding agents instructions for working in a project. It checks whether those instructions are clear, current, consistent, relevant, actionable, and safe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the root AGENTS.md, report prioritized problems, and identify whether its project instructions need clarification or cleanup.
Why use it?
It helps find contradictions, stale tool names, unclear rules, and unsafe automation guidance before an agent follows them. It deliberately limits the review to AGENTS.md.

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-agents-md 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 5d 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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audit AGENTS.md

Core Rule

Audit only AGENTS.md. Do not read, summarize, validate, or suggest changes to CLAUDE.md unless the user explicitly changes the task.

This skill exists because default audit behavior tends to drift into CLAUDE.md comparison. Do not do that.

Workflow

  1. Locate AGENTS.md in the current project root.
    • If absent, report that no root AGENTS.md was found and stop.
    • Do not search for CLAUDE.md.
  2. Read AGENTS.md completely.
  3. Audit using the checklist below.
  4. Produce a prioritized report.
  5. Do not edit files automatically. If the user asks for fixes after the report, make a focused plan first.

Audit Checklist

Area Check
Structure Clear title, headings, and readable markdown.
Scope Instructions are relevant for coding agents working in this repository.
Precedence No claims to override system, developer, or direct user instructions.
Consistency No duplicated, conflicting, or circular rules.
Actionability Agents can tell what to do, when to do it, and what to avoid.
Tooling Tool names and commands match the intended harness, or are written generically.
Safety No overly broad destructive automation, secret exposure, or unreviewed deployment instructions.
Freshness No stale references to removed commands, renamed files, or old workflows.

Stale Harness-Specific Leftovers

Flag Claude Code-specific content when it appears in AGENTS.md but the file is intended for pi or generic coding agents:

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.
