apd-audit

apd-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zstevovich/claude-apd. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,694 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A detailed audit for checking an APD setup, including its agents, instructions, hooks, connections, and pipeline behavior. It reviews whether the configuration is correct and complete, not only whether files exist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after setting up APD, after changing its configuration, when the pipeline behaves unexpectedly, or before handing the project to another developer.
Why use it?
It finds configuration problems that a basic health check may miss, such as instructions that do not match the project layout.

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

apd-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 10d 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.

APD Project Audit (Codex)

Qualitative review of how APD is configured in the project — content quality, not just file existence. Pairs with apd:apd_doctor() MCP tool (mechanical checks).

When to use / When to skip

Use when:

  • First session after apd cdx init — confirm everything is correct
  • After manually editing .apd/agents/, AGENTS.md, or .codex/config.toml
  • When the pipeline behaves unexpectedly
  • When apd:apd_doctor() passes but something "feels off"
  • Before handing the project to another developer

Skip when:

  • apd:apd_doctor() itself is failing — fix those mechanical issues first
  • You only need a yes/no health check — apd:apd_doctor() is faster
  • Mid-pipeline — audit is for between cycles, not during

What This Checks (apd:apd_doctor Does NOT)

apd:apd_doctor apd-audit
Files exist? Content correct and complete?
TOML valid? Hook config actually wires to live scripts?
Agents have scope? Scope paths match the project layout?
Pipeline runs? Pipeline output matches the expected format?
Mechanical ✓/✗ Qualitative review

Process

1. Run apd:apd_doctor first

apd:apd_doctor()

If it reports errors → fix those first. This skill builds on top of apd:apd_doctor, not replaces it.

2. Agent quality

For each agent in .apd/agents/*.md:

Roles that must EXIST — check presence before quality:

  • code-reviewer — missing → the reviewer advance BLOCKs
  • adversarial-reviewer — missing → the reviewer advance BLOCKs (adversarial-agent-missing). Until v7.0 its absence silently disabled the whole adversarial layer, so a project that has been running "clean" without this file was running without the layer. On Codex that layer is the ONLY independent review the pipeline has — supervision is inert here.

Frontmatter check:

  • scope: list — paths actually exist in the repo? A writable role with no scope in either the YAML key or the guard-scope hook command fails CLOSED at apd:apd_guard_write (v6.37)
  • model: (if present) — the gpt-* namespace. MODEL_PROFILE is CC-only and inert under Codex, so a Claude model name in a Codex project's config is never applied — apd doctor warns about exactly this
  • effort: (if present) — builders xhigh, reviewers max
  • memory:none on adversarial-reviewer (decontextualization contract); flagging it for a missing memory: project inverts what makes the role worth dispatching

What ships with it

6 files 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.

apd-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository zstevovich/claude-apd (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,694 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.
