SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Large agent-driven systems drift over time: agent definitions fall out of sync with actual skills, governance rules go unenforced, and cross-references break silently. This Skill performs a full consistency audit of the Improvement Loop system and produces a persistent, severity-classified report. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Agent & Skill Verification: Checks every agent definition for completeness, validates skill frontmatter, and confirms skill inventories match actual SKILL.md files. - Governance & Structure Compliance: Verifies governance documentation, fractal directory pattern completeness, and CLAUDE.md factual accuracy. - Cross-Reference Integrity: Greps for DD/IB references, markdown links, and handoff protocol paths to detect broken links. - Use Case: Before archiving a milestone, run a full audit to confirm the system is clean, then review the prioritized remediation table to schedule fixes. ## Quick Start Run a full system audit of the Improvement Loop and write the findings report to operations/system-audits.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an agent-based system for consistency?▼

Run the system-audit skill, which checks agent definitions, skill contracts, governance docs, directory structure, and cross-references in sequence. It writes a severity-classified report to operations/system-audits with a prioritized remediation table.

What does the system audit check in skill contracts?▼

It validates that each SKILL.md has required frontmatter fields, is mapped to an agent's skill inventory, references only existing file paths, uses tools within its allowed-tools list, and complies with its stated autonomy tier.

When should I use system-audit instead of system-health?▼

Use system-audit for periodic deep reviews, before milestone completions, or when systemic issues are suspected. Use system-health for quick lightweight checks, since the audit is the comprehensive version that writes a persistent report.

Does the system audit fix the problems it finds?▼

No, the audit is strictly read-only analysis plus a written report. Fixes are deliberately separated into other skills or manual action, because mixing audit and repair compromises audit completeness.

How are audit findings classified and reported?▼

Every finding receives a severity of Critical, Warning, or Info, with evidence showing what was expected versus observed. The report includes category tables, a prioritized remediation table, and comparison with any previous audit.
