Workspace Surface Audit
Read-only audit skill for answering the question "what can this workspace and machine actually do right now, and what should we add or enable next?"
This is the ECC-native answer to setup-audit plugins. It does not modify files unless the user explicitly asks for follow-up implementation.
When to Use
- User says "set up Claude Code", "recommend automations", "what plugins or MCPs should I use?", or "what am I missing?"
- Auditing a machine or repo before installing more skills, hooks, or connectors
- Comparing official marketplace plugins against ECC-native coverage
- Reviewing
.env, .mcp.json, plugin settings, or connected-app surfaces to find missing workflow layers
- Deciding whether a capability should be a skill, hook, agent, MCP, or external connector
Non-Negotiable Rules
- Never print secret values. Surface only provider names, capability names, file paths, and whether a key or config exists.
- Prefer ECC-native workflows over generic "install another plugin" advice when ECC can reasonably own the surface.
- Treat external plugins as benchmarks and inspiration, not authoritative product boundaries.
- Separate three things clearly:
- already available now
- available but not wrapped well in ECC
