Three divergences between what the audit skills claim and what the hooks enforce, each of which fails silently rather than loudly: - `skill-size-check.sh` blocked at 2900 words while `validate.sh` checked only the 500-line ceiling, so `/skill-audit` could report a skill ready to ship that the commit hook then rejected. `validate.sh` now checks the same pair on the same inclusive terms; the constants are duplicated with a comment naming the other file, because a plugin skill's scripts cannot read outside the plugin directory once installed to the cache. - Both audit skills' Step 1 passed `--config assets/vale/.vale.ini`, which is redundant (the wrapper self-locates its sibling config) and fragile: an agent that resolves the script path against the skill directory but not the config path gets E100, exit 2, which the surrounding fallback clause misreads as "vale unavailable" and downgrades to full LLM judgment with no signal. - The external-consumer test registered only the two Vale hooks, never the third shipped hook, so a lost executable bit would have broken every consumer while the local suite stayed green. Verified by mutation: `chmod 644` on the copied script now turns three passes into two failures. Also corrects the size hook's calibration comment, which claimed ~5.7-6.5 characters per word against a corpus whose measured median is 6.79 — the stated upper bound sat below the median, so the "calibrated with margin" claim was inverted for prose-dense files. MAX_WORDS is unchanged pending a decision; the comment is now explicit that the gate holds under 5,000 tokens for typical prose density, not for any file. Refs: #85
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.
