skill-audit/agent-audit's Step 1 resolved vale-wrap.sh/.vale.ini via `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, which returns whichever repo the skill happens to run in. Inside ai-development that works; in any external repo that installs kyberforge@holocron as a plugin, it resolves to that repo's own root, which has no .vale.ini — the prefilter silently fell back to full LLM judgment. ADR-0013 named this as a deliberately deferred gap. Vale's config/styles/wrapper now ship inside the plugin itself: a canonical copy in agent-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge + KyberforgeCopilot, the superset agent-audit needs) and a smaller duplicate in skill-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge only) — per the no-cross-skill-path rule already established for plugin cache-installs. Both skills resolve these relative to their own directory, same as scripts/validate.sh already does. A new root .pre-commit-hooks.yaml exposes both copies plus skill-size-check so any external repo can enforce the same rules via `repo: <this-repo-url>, rev: <tag>` in its own pre-commit config, independent of Claude Code entirely — the same mechanism covers CI. This repo's own pre-commit hook now consumes the identical plugin-bundled copies via repo: local (not a third root copy, and not a pinned self-reference, which would lint working-tree edits against the last tagged release instead of the change being made). Split into vale-audit-prefilter-skill/-agent hooks after confirming, by diffing the full corpus against both old and new config before deleting the old files, that one combined hook pointed at only one copy silently 0-file- skips the other file type. scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh guards the two copies against drift, wired at pre-push alongside check-manifests. ADR: 0014
agent-audit
Audits a Claude Code and Copilot agent definition file pair for correctness and quality.
What it does
Accepts either file in a CC .md / Copilot .agent.md pair, derives the counterpart automatically, and validates both. Runs structural checks via validate.sh (required fields, kebab-case name, no placeholders, no CC-only fields in the Copilot file, silently-ignored fields at plugin scope), provenance chain validation via validate-provenance.sh (checks source_keys against sources.md at the plugin root), then qualitative checks on description phrasing and system prompt quality. Produces a compact findings report in the same format as skill-audit.
Usage
/agent-audit
Pass the path to either agent file as the argument.
