| name | 04-audit |
| description | Audit a codebase read-only across seven quality pillars into one ranked report. Use when the user wants to assess, health-check, or audit a codebase or one pillar. Not for fixing findings, reviewing a change, or checking a feature works. |

Skill: audit
Diagnose a codebase against quality pillars and emit one ranked findings report. Read-only: it identifies and ranks problems, never changes code.
Actions
| # | Action | Pillar | Lens |
|---|
| 01 | code-quality | code-quality | Clean code (naming, SOLID, DRY, readability, smells) and tech debt (dead code, complexity, file/function size, error handling) |
| 02 | architecture | architecture | Conformance to C4 / ADRs, coupling, boundaries, layering |
| 03 | security | security | OWASP risks, authz, input validation, secrets in code |
| 04 | dependencies | dependencies | CVEs, licenses, outdated and unused deps, supply chain |
| 05 | performance | performance | N+1 queries, hot paths, bundle size, heavy operations |
| 06 | tests | tests | Critical-path coverage, flakiness, test pyramid balance |
| 07 | ui | ui | Loading/error/empty states, visual hierarchy, design-system drift, responsive, a11y |
Run the one pillar named, or offer all seven when the request is unscoped.
Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.
Transversal rules
- Read-only: diagnose and rank, never edit code.
- Scope: run the one named pillar, or for an unscoped request ask once "all seven pillars, or one?" before running. Never silently default to one pillar, never blind-run all without offering the choice.
- One folder per run,
aidd_docs/tasks/<yyyy_mm>/<yyyy_mm_dd>_audit/, like a feature folder. Every pillar that runs always writes its own <pillar>.md there, alone or in a full run. A full run additionally writes a merged report.md: one Findings table (category = pillar, severity-first), one Top-actions list, and one Coverage section over all seven pillars.
- Unscannable pillar: skip it, record it under
Coverage > Skipped with the reason, and never invent findings for it.
- Every finding row carries a severity, its pillar, a concrete
file:line, the issue, a suggested fix, and an effort.
Assets
assets/audit-template.md: the report structure both run modes fill.
