audit-summary

name	audit-summary
description	Answer "what has the safety layer actually blocked or asked about?" by reading and summarizing the audit log in plain English. Use whenever the founder asks what's been happening, after a stretch of active work, or periodically as a trust check — since the founder can't read policy.json or the hook code themselves.

Audit Summary

The founder can't read policy.json or the hook scripts, so the only way they can trust the safety layer is by seeing evidence of what it actually did — not just being told "don't worry, it's handled." bin/audit-log.js records every real intervention (a blocked or confirm-gated command); this skill turns that log into something a non-technical founder can actually read and act on.

What to do

1. Run the summary script: node founder-os/bin/audit-summary.js (add --days 7 to scope to the last week, or whatever timeframe the founder asked about). This prints counts by decision, the most common rules triggered, and the most recent entries.
2. Translate rule ids into plain English. The script prints raw rule ids like destructive-rm-rf or destructive-git-force-push — don't just paste those. Look up the matching rule in founder-os/policy.json (its message field) if the id alone isn't self-explanatory, and describe what actually happened in a sentence a founder would understand: "the agent tried to force-push over main, which was blocked," not "destructive-git-force-push: 1 event."
3. If the log is empty, say so plainly — "nothing has been blocked or flagged" is a real, positive answer, not a non-answer. Don't imply the check isn't running; the script's own empty-state message already makes that distinction, carry it through.
4. Don't editorialize past the data. If a rule triggered several times, report that fact — don't speculate about why without evidence (e.g. don't guess "the agent seems confused" from three blocks; just report what was blocked and let the founder ask a follow-up if they want more digging).

Report format

Plain paragraphs or a short list, not a raw dump of the script's output. Example:

In the last 7 days, the safety layer stepped in twice:
- Blocked an attempt to force-push over origin/main (git push --force)
- Asked for confirmation before a `git reset --hard` that would have
  discarded uncommitted work

Nothing else was flagged. Full log: founder-os/.audit/audit.log

Anti-patterns to avoid

• Pasting the script's raw stdout verbatim without translating rule ids and reasons into plain language.
• Treating an empty log as suspicious or needing an apology — it means the safety layer had nothing to catch, which is the good outcome.
• Running this only when explicitly asked — proactively offering a summary after a long or destructive-adjacent session builds trust without waiting to be asked.
