sova: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/sova-audit-instructions/SKILL.md

sova-audit-instructions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xsovad06/sova. It costs 25 tokens per session (992 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An audit workflow for checking a project's instructions for missing information, contradictions, hidden assumptions, and readiness for autonomous AI coding. It compares the written rules with the repository's actual files and practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rule files, agent memory, skills, source layout, Git history, and common project configuration files.
Why use it?
AI coding tools can follow outdated or conflicting instructions and make unsafe assumptions about a project. This exposes gaps between the documentation and the codebase.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is xsovad06/sova's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on sova itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sova configures →

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

sova-audit-instructions scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 16d 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.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Audit this project's AI instruction system for completeness, contradictions, implicit assumptions, and autonomous-agent readiness. the arguments provided when this skill is invoked

Phase 1: Collect All Instruction Sources

Read every instruction file. Do not skip any.

cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING: CLAUDE.md"
cat AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No AGENTS.md"
for f in .claude/rules/*.md; do [ -f "$f" ] && echo "=== $f ===" && cat "$f"; done 2>/dev/null || echo "No rules"
ls .claude/agent-memory/*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No agent memory"
ls .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No skills"

Phase 2: Analyze Project Reality

Understand the actual project to compare against instructions:

find . -maxdepth 3 -type f \( -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.java" \) | head -50
git log --oneline -20 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"
ls pyproject.toml package.json Cargo.toml go.mod Makefile Dockerfile 2>/dev/null
ls -d tests/ test/ __tests__/ spec/ 2>/dev/null && find tests/ test/ __tests__/ spec/ -maxdepth 1 -name "*.py" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" 2>/dev/null | head -20

Phase 3: Gap Analysis

For each category, assess completeness (0-10) and list specific gaps:

Category What to check
Build commands Are test_cmd, lint_cmd, format_cmd documented and correct? Do they match actual tooling?
Architecture Does CLAUDE.md explain the module structure? Can an agent navigate the codebase without guessing?
Conventions Are naming conventions, file organization, and code style rules stated explicitly?
Error handling Are error handling patterns documented?
Testing Are test patterns, fixtures, mocks, and conventions documented?
Dependencies Are dependency management conventions documented (add/remove/upgrade)?
Security Are security-sensitive areas called out (credentials, external inputs, subprocess)?
Agent boundaries Are there clear "always do" / "ask first" / "never do" boundaries?
Contradictions Do any rules conflict with each other or with actual project practice?
Implicit assumptions What does the project assume that is not written down?

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.

sova-audit-instructions is a skill published in the GitHub repository xsovad06/sova (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 992 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-08.
