audit-skill

A skill that reviews one skill's instruction files against a seven-part quality rubric and writes a detailed scorecard. It reads the skill's main file, references, and templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score a skill, explain each rubric result, and produce recommended actions based on its actual files.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent review of one skill without requiring a full catalogue audit. The written reasons make weaknesses and suggested improvements easier to inspect.

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-skill 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 2d 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

Audit a skill

Score one skill against the 7-dimension rubric. The skill is the input; a scorecard Markdown file is the output.

How it works

  1. Resolve {{ skill }} to an absolute path. Accept either a directory path (skills/research) or a bare skill name (research) — glob for the matching SKILL.md.
  2. Read the rubric at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/rubric.md.
  3. Read the skill in full: SKILL.md, every file under references/, every file under templates/. The scorecard is grounded in what's in the files, not in the description alone. Reading is the primary work.
  4. If a prior /gardener audit exists at plugin-gardener/audit/, read its latest collisions.csv and clusters.csv for cross-reference context. Collisions involving this skill inform Dimension 1 (description quality) and Dimension 5 (proactive-label discipline) — check whether the description carries the right negative-keyword discriminators. For every collision row, open the sibling SKILL.md and verify by reading, not from the cosine alone.
  5. Write a scorecard to plugin-gardener/audit/ad-hoc/<skill-name>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md using templates/scorecard-skeleton.md.
  6. Present the total, dimension scores, and top-3 recommended actions inline.

Apply the rubric dimension by dimension. Record a short rationale (1–2 sentences with a file:line citation from the files you read) for every criterion scoring under 3 points. The rationale is the value; the number is the aggregate.

On the role of embedding data: collisions and clusters from a prior /gardener run are binoculars, not the photograph. They point you at the right cross-references to open. Verify every flagged collision by reading both SKILL.md files — a high cosine is an invitation to investigate, not a verdict.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

audit-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository theagenticguy/agentic-plugins (5 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 719 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
