SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Estimation and scoping for audits is often manual and error-prone. This Skill provides a structured, phase-driven approach to map files into chunks, classify scope, and produce reliable effort estimates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Discovery, Chunking, and Metrics workflow for audits.
  • Full-scope estimation with Discovery, Explore/Metrics/Report, and Diff-scope with Discovery/Review/Report.
  • Checkpoint-driven progression to pause and confirm scope before proceeding.
  • Generates actionable estimates and per-chunk risk signals to plan engagements.

Quick Start

Provide the repository to estimate and specify whether to run a full-scope or diff-scope estimation to begin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate the effort needed for a full codebase audit?▼

Estimate codebase audit effort by running a structured discovery process that maps files into chunks, classifies scope, and generates per-chunk risk metrics through phased progression.

What is the best way to scope a diff-scope review for recent code changes?▼

Scope a diff-scope review by targeting only the changed code, running through discovery, review, and reporting phases to produce reliable effort estimates for the specific modifications.

Can I pause an audit estimation to confirm the scope before proceeding?▼

You can pause an audit estimation using checkpoint-driven progression, which enforces phase-based workflows to confirm scope and file categorization before continuing to exploration and metrics.

How does file chunking work for codebase audit estimation?▼

File chunking for audit estimation works by categorizing repository files into structured segments during the discovery phase, enabling targeted metrics generation and per-chunk risk signaling for the engagement.

Does this estimation approach support time-bound audit engagements?▼

It supports time-bound audit engagements by structuring discovery, exploration, metrics, and reporting phases to quantify effort and generate actionable estimates tailored to specific time constraints.
