titools-skill-auditor

name	titools-skill-auditor
description	Use when reference files for the doc-based skills in this repo need re-aligning with upstream Titanium SDK documentation — after a `tidev/titanium-docs` release, when an audit reveals stale or training-data content, or before tagging a skills version. Covers `ti-api`, `ti-guides`, `ti-howtos`, `alloy-guides`, and `alloy-howtos`. Maintenance-only — not intended for end-user Titanium projects.

titools-skill-auditor

Maintenance-only skill for auditing and updating the doc-based skills in this repo against their upstream documentation source (tidev/titanium-docs).

For creating a new skill from scratch, use a generic skill-creator workflow instead.

Scope

This skill audits the five reference skills:

• ti-api
• ti-guides
• ti-howtos
• alloy-guides
• alloy-howtos

It does not audit:

• Workflow skills like ti-module-update (no single upstream doc tree to compare against)
• Skills outside the skills/ folder

Setup

Audits compare reference files against a local clone of tidev/titanium-docs at .titanium-docs/ in the repo root. The folder is gitignored.

If .titanium-docs/ is missing, fetch it before auditing:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tidev/titanium-docs.git .titanium-docs

To refresh before an audit:

cd .titanium-docs && git pull --ff-only && cd ..

Invocation

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine which skill to audit:

Input	Action
<skill-name>	Audit the named skill against its mapped doc subtree
(empty)	Ask the user which skill to audit

Valid skill names: ti-api, ti-guides, ti-howtos, alloy-guides, alloy-howtos.

Audit workflow

1. Load quality-standards.md and source-map.md.
2. Verify .titanium-docs/ exists. If not, prompt the user with the clone command above.
3. Execute Phases 0–3 of audit-workflow.md (classify, analyze, identify gaps, report).
4. Phase 4 is a hard STOP — present the consolidated report and wait for explicit user approval.
5. After approval, execute Phases 5–6 (apply updates, verify).

Protected content — NEVER delete during audits

Any section titled ## Community-Discovered Patterns (H2) in a skill's reference file contains verified real-world patterns that are intentionally not in the official docs. These sections fill gaps where official docs are silent or incomplete.

Rules during audits

• NEVER delete a Community-Discovered Patterns section, even when it lacks an official source.
• Verify every pattern against current docs — if officially documented now, move the content to the main section and cite the source (don't leave duplicates). If SDK behavior changed, update the pattern. Outdated patterns are as harmful as hallucinated ones.
• Preserve patterns that remain uncovered by official docs.
• Add new patterns when verified gaps are found — see audit-workflow.md Phase 2 step 5 for how to classify unlabeled author content.

See references/quality-standards.md § "Protected sections" for the full rule set.

Skill structure convention

Every doc-based skill in this repo follows this layout:

skills/<skill-name>/
  SKILL.md                # Entry point (~200–500 lines)
  references/
    TOPIC_ONE.md          # Deep reference (~200–800 lines each)
    TOPIC_TWO.md
    ...

SKILL.md responsibilities

1. Frontmatter — name, description ("Use when…", third person), total ≤ 1024 chars
2. Quick reference — Topic → reference file mapping
3. Summary content — Enough context to answer simple questions without loading references
4. When to load references — Clear guidance on which reference to read for deeper topics

Reference file responsibilities

1. Single topic focus — One reference = one coherent topic
2. Self-contained — Readable without SKILL.md context
3. Code examples — ES6+ style, practical and copy-pasteable
4. Cross-references — Use relative markdown links to related references within the same skill

Reference file navigation

Reference	Purpose
audit-workflow.md	7-phase audit with hard-stop approval gate
quality-standards.md	Anti-hallucination, ES6+, URL rules, content rules
source-map.md	Skill → official doc subtree mapping

Loading order

1. quality-standards.md — Internalize rules before evaluating content
2. source-map.md — Find the official docs to compare against
3. audit-workflow.md — Follow phases sequentially

---

Post-completion reminder

After completing an audit:

1. Spot-check — open 2–3 updated references and verify content quality.
2. Test invocation — verify the updated skill loads correctly in Claude Code (or the agent of choice).
3. Commit per skill — one focused commit per audited skill, e.g. audit(<skill>): align refs with titanium-docs <date or commit>.
4. Mention in the PR description if changes are substantial, so reviewers see the diff context.
