Before certification renewal — audit UitKit content to ensure all files are current and defensible
Before releasing a new version or major update — verify documentation accuracy
Quarterly maintenance cycle — identify stale content that needs refreshing (every 3 months)
After a major Claude model release — flag potentially outdated guidance in skills and workflows
On-demand content audit — when you want to assess overall content health without waiting for the quarterly sprint

When NOT to use

For real-time freshness monitoring (use CI checks with check-freshness.js instead)
To validate specific external links (use a dedicated link checker tool)
To rewrite content (use /workflows/freshness-refresh instead, which spawns review agents)
To enforce style consistency (use linting rules and code-review skill)

Instructions

Step 1: Run the freshness audit

Execute the freshness check script:

node scripts/check-freshness.js

This scans all skills/ and agents/ directories for files with an updated: date in YAML frontmatter. It flags files older than 6 months as stale and files missing a date entirely.

Output includes:

Count of fresh, stale, and undated files
List of stale files with their last-updated date
List of files missing an updated: field

Step 2: Generate the detailed report

For a more detailed breakdown organized by category and priority:

node scripts/generate-refresh-report.js > FRESHNESS_REPORT.md

This produces a Markdown report with:

Fresh vs stale counts by category (skills, agents, guides, workflows)
Files sorted by age (oldest first)
Estimated time to refresh each file
Tier 1/2/3 categorization for prioritization

Step 3: Categorize by impact

Read the freshness report and sort files into tiers:

Tier 1 (Critical — refresh immediately):

Core debugging and testing skills
Frequently-referenced guides (getting started, conceptual foundations)
Essential agent definitions used in workflows
Any file older than 12 months

These files are on critical paths; staleness could mislead users or break workflows.

Tier 2 (Important — refresh within 2 weeks):

Domain-specific skills (frontend, backend, DevOps, etc.)
Stack-specific guides and workflows
Secondary agent definitions
Files 6–12 months old in active domains

These are referenced regularly but less critical than Tier 1.

Tier 3 (Optional — review, may keep as-is):

Archived or deprecated skills
Rarely-used agent definitions
Historical examples and case studies
Evergreen conceptual guides unlikely to change

These may not need updating if content is still accurate.

Step 4: Assess content accuracy (manual review)

For each Tier 1 file, do a quick accuracy check:

File: [path]
Last updated: [date]
Age: [N months]

Quick accuracy check:
- [ ] All command examples still work in current Claude Code
- [ ] Tool names and features referenced still exist
- [ ] No references to deprecated features or old model versions
- [ ] External links (if any) are not 404
- [ ] Code syntax is current (not using obsolete APIs)

Status: [Fresh | Minor Updates Needed | Major Rewrite Needed]

If >30% of a file's content is inaccurate or outdated, mark it for a major refresh in the next quarterly cycle.

Step 5: Produce the prioritized refresh list

Create a text file with your findings:

# Freshness Audit Results — [DATE]

## Summary
- Total files scanned: X
- Fresh (< 6 months): X
- Stale (≥ 6 months): X
- Missing dates: X

## Tier 1 (Refresh immediately)
- [File path] — last updated [date], [N] months old
- ...

## Tier 2 (Refresh within 2 weeks)
- [File path] — last updated [date], [N] months old
- ...

## Tier 3 (Optional review)
- [File path] — last updated [date], [N] months old
- ...

## Files needing major rewrite
- [File path] — [reason: outdated examples, deprecated features, etc.]

## Next steps
1. Assign Tier 1 files to review agents
2. Schedule Tier 2 review for sprint backlog
3. Archive or deprecate Tier 3 files if no longer relevant
4. Run the full /workflows/freshness-refresh to coordinate updates

Step 6: Decide on next action

Based on the audit results:

If <10% stale: Content is healthy. Refresh normally on the quarterly cycle.
If 10–30% stale: Schedule a focused refresh sprint for Tier 1 and 2 files within the next 2 weeks.
If >30% stale: Critical health issue. Run /workflows/freshness-refresh immediately to get all agents updating content in parallel.
If any files are >12 months old: Escalate for immediate review.

Example

Scenario: Pre-certification audit

Before certifying UitKit as a production tool, you want to ensure all content is current.

Execution:

# Step 1: Run freshness check
node scripts/check-freshness.js

# Output:
# Freshness check: 847 files scanned (stale threshold: 6 months)
#   Fresh:  621
#   Stale:  156
#   No date: 70

156 stale files and 70 missing dates — time to remediate before certification.

# Step 2: Generate detailed report
node scripts/generate-refresh-report.js > FRESHNESS_REPORT.md

# Review the report and categorize:
# Tier 1 (Core skills): 32 files
# Tier 2 (Domain skills, workflows): 89 files
# Tier 3 (Archived, examples): 35 files

Decision:

Based on the audit, the team decides:

Tier 1 files (32) must be refreshed before certification sign-off — assign to 4 agents, 2 hours
Tier 2 files (89) can be batched into 2-week sprints — 3 agents working in rotation
Tier 3 files (35) are archived/deprecated — mark with "archived" tag in frontmatter, no refresh needed

Next step:

Spawn a targeted refresh workflow for Tier 1 files only:

# (Uses the freshness-refresh workflow with --tier 1 flag)

This ensures certification readiness without blocking on the full backlog.
