Defame1297 70210d6a7e feat(factory-audit): audit hooks, instructions and prompts
factory-audit gains three Step 0 rows and flows for the apm primitives
that have no container of their own: a .json file under hooks/, a
*.instructions.md and a *.prompt.md. apm validates almost none of them
(invalid hook JSON is skipped silently, instruction validate() only
warns, input: names are never checked against ${input:x}), so the
deterministic checks live in a new scripts/lib-checks-primitive.sh,
wired into validate.sh's path-shape detection. Each check and tier
traces to the Authoring checklists in the microsoft-apm research docs.

- Hook: JSON/shape/event-list checks mirroring the Copilot payload
  validator, never-firing event casing, missing/escaping/non-executable
  scripts (FAIL); deprecated filename routing and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
  (SUGGESTION).
- Instruction: location, frontmatter, description, body, stem clash
  (FAIL); missing or list applyTo and unread keys (SUGGESTION).
- Prompt: location/name, frontmatter, description, input names, the
  upstream `- name: x` docs bug, declared-vs-used ${input:x} (FAIL);
  ADR-0029 description length and trigger clause, dropped keys,
  camelCase aliases, argument-hint with input (SUGGESTION). Whether a
  prompt carries procedure is judgment in prompt-flow.md, not a script
  heuristic.

Vale now lints *.instructions.md and *.prompt.md with the Kyberforge
style; test-vale-wrap.sh gains their probe rows. New
tests/validate-primitive.bats (31 cases). kyberforge 2.0.1 -> 2.1.0 with
the executables.allow key, catalog 0.5.1 -> 0.5.2, marketplace.json
regenerated.

Gotchas

  • Do not narrate PASS/FAIL per check while auditing. Gather findings internally and surface them only in the Step 4 report. Narrating each check as you go is the default failure mode here.
  • A file carrying disable-model-invocation: true is hand-invoked — its description is never routed against, so the trigger, capability and boundary rules do not apply. Audit it as one plain human-facing sentence instead.
  • Vale reporting 0 files scanned means NOT RUN, not clean. Fall back to full Step 3 judgment for every dimension it would have covered.

Step 0 — Dispatch

Resolve the flow from the target path before running anything. The flows run different validators over different dimension vocabularies, so dispatching after Step 1 means the wrong validator has already produced the wrong findings. The rows mirror the shapes scripts/validate.sh accepts; take the first that matches.

Target Flow Read
A directory containing SKILL.md skill references/skill-flow.md
A file named SKILL.md — audit its parent directory skill references/skill-flow.md
A file named *.agent.md agent references/agent-flow.md
A file named *.instructions.md instruction references/instruction-flow.md
A file named *.prompt.md prompt references/prompt-flow.md
A .md file whose immediate parent directory is agents/ (.apm/agents, .claude/agents, .github/agents, .copilot/agents) agent references/agent-flow.md
A .json file whose immediate parent directory is hooks/ (.apm/hooks, or a package's root hooks/) hook references/hook-flow.md
Anything else — a missing path, a directory without SKILL.md, any other file none —

Read only the file its row matched. Each carries Steps 1 to 3 — the deterministic checks, the read, and the qualitative audit — and is self-contained. Return here for Step 4.

On the last row, stop: run no validator and tell the user the shapes the other rows accept. Guessing a flow audits the path against the wrong spec.

The scripts re-detect the flow from the path. If validate.sh reports on a different artifact type than your row, discard what you have and restart here — the flow file, not the script, picked your rubrics, coverage line and remediation line.

Step 4 — Report

Open with the coverage line for the flow you took, naming every dimension checked.

Skill flow:

Checked: structure · description · body-discipline · patterns · file-structure · formatting · scripts · internal-consistency · provenance

Agent flow:

Checked: structure · provider-safety · description · body · delegation · comment-discipline · pair-consistency · provenance

On the agent flow at plugin/APM scope, drop pair-consistency — there is no pair to check.

Hook, instruction and prompt flows: the line their flow file ends with.

Then output only the dimensions that have findings, grouped under H3 headings, FAILs before SUGGESTIONs within each. Omit clean dimensions — their absence is what confirms they passed.

Each finding:

FAIL/SUGGESTION  <finding> — file:line
                 Why: <why this is a problem>
                 Fix: <exact change — quote before/after where applicable>

Close with a ## Result block holding one line: PASS, PASS (N suggestions), or FAIL (N fails · M suggestions), each optionally followed by · P info. INFO findings are observational and never change PASS/FAIL; omit · P info when there are none. Add a second line whenever there is at least one finding — Run skill-author to address findings. on the skill flow, Run agent-author to address findings. on the agent flow, Run primitive-author to address findings. on the other three. Do not apply fixes — report and propose only.
