Systematic Audit Process

Load skills/blocks/engineering-method-selection.md from the installed plugin and apply only the methods relevant to this task. Preserve this entry point's execution contract and output format. Read referenced skills as instructions; do not invoke the current command recursively or add provider calls from a seat.

Overview

Comprehensive, methodical auditing to find issues, inconsistencies, and broken features across a codebase.

Core principle: Define scope → Create checklist → Execute systematically → Report findings → Prioritize fixes.

For architecture simplification, load skills/blocks/architecture-simplification.md. Pin the revision, inspect recent churn and representative callers, then apply the deletion test. Do not recommend removing a small wrapper when it centralizes a security, cleanup, precedence, or failure invariant. A simplify verdict needs source evidence, a concrete caller, and migration and rollback steps.

When to Use

Use this skill when user wants to:

• Audit entire application for issues
• Find all instances of a problem pattern
• Check for broken features systematically
• Comprehensive quality verification
• Identify inconsistencies across codebase

Do NOT use for:

• Security vulnerability scanning (use skill-security-audit)
• Code quality review (use skill-code-review)
• Single file searches (use Grep/Glob directly)
• Performance profiling

The Process

Phase 1: Scope Definition

Step 1: Understand Audit Objectives

**Audit Objectives:**

What to audit: [app features, code patterns, specific issues]
Why auditing: [what prompted this, what problem are we solving]
Scope: [entire app, specific module, particular feature set]
Depth: [surface-level or deep inspection]

Step 2: Define Audit Criteria

Use AskUserQuestion if needed:
