Audits all OrchestKit skills for quality, completeness, and compliance with authoring standards. Use when checking skill health, before releases, or after bulk skill edits to surface SKILL.md files that are too long, have missing frontmatter, lack rules/references, or are unregistered in manifests.

audit-skills

Scans all src/skills/*/SKILL.md files and reports compliance with OrchestKit authoring standards. Each category has individual files in rules/ and references/ loaded on-demand.

Quick Reference

Category	File	Impact	When to Use
Audit Checks	`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/audit-checks.md`	HIGH	What to validate per skill
Status Rules	`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/audit-status.md`	MEDIUM	PASS/WARN/FAIL classification
Output Format	`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/output-format.md`	MEDIUM	Table layout and column definitions
Edge Cases	`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/edge-cases.md`	LOW	Manifest "all", orchestration skills

Total: 2 rules across 2 categories

CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY (CC 2.1.16)

BEFORE doing ANYTHING else, create tasks to track progress:

# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="Audit Skills: full scan",
  description="Auditing all OrchestKit skills for quality and compliance",
  activeForm="Auditing skill quality"
)

# 2. Create subtasks for each audit phase
TaskCreate(subject="Discover skills", activeForm="Globbing SKILL.md files")
TaskCreate(subject="Run audit checks", activeForm="Checking each skill")
TaskCreate(subject="Classify & render", activeForm="Classifying results and rendering report")

# 3. Set dependencies for sequential phases
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])

# 4. Before starting each task, verify it's unblocked
task = TaskGet(taskId="2")  # Verify blockedBy is empty

# 5. Update status as you progress
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="in_progress")  # When starting
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="completed")    # When done

Workflow

Discover — Glob src/skills/*/SKILL.md to get full skill list
Check each skill — Run all checks from Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/audit-checks.md") in parallel
Classify — Apply status rules from Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/rules/audit-status.md")
Render — Output table using format from Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/output-format.md")
Totals — Show X pass, Y warn, Z fail at bottom

Quick Start

bash src/skills/audit-skills/scripts/run-audit.sh

Or invoke manually — Claude scans src/skills/, applies checks, and renders the summary table.

Key Decisions

Decision	Recommendation
Manifest check	`"skills": "all"` in ork.json means ALL skills qualify — mark YES
0 rules + refs	WARN only — some orchestration skills are legitimately rules-free
Broken refs	WARN (not FAIL) — file may exist under a different path
