Checklist auditor skill

When asked to audit checklists against a standard:

1. Use read_file to read the corporate standard checklist — this is the reference against which all others are compared

2. Extract the canonical list of steps, grouping them by phase or category if the standard uses phases (e.g., "Day 1-7", "Week 2-4", "Day 60-90")

3. For each department checklist:

   • Use read_file to read the checklist
   • Compare each step against the standard
   • Classify each step as:
     • Present: matches the standard (exact or equivalent)
     • Modified: present but differs in wording, scope, or timing
     • Missing: not present in this checklist
     • Extra: present in this checklist but not in the standard

4. Produce an audit report with two sections:

   Summary table:

   Department	Present	Modified	Missing	Extra	Score

   Detail per department (only for departments with issues):

   • List each Missing step with the standard's wording
   • List each Modified step with both versions side by side
   • List each Extra step — these may be legitimate additions that should be considered for the standard

5. If requested, provide recommendations:

   • Steps that should be added to the standard (extras that appear in multiple departments)
   • Steps that may be outdated (missing from most departments)

6. Use write_file to save the audit report if requested

Important guidelines

• Treat equivalent steps as matches even if wording differs — focus on intent, not exact text
• When a checklist uses different phase names but covers the same time period, align by timing rather than labels
• Flag contradictions (e.g., department A says "notify within 24h" but the standard says "notify within 48h") as Modified, not Present
• Do not assume Missing steps are wrong — the department may have a valid reason. Present findings, let the reviewer decide
