Skill name+description pairs are preloaded into every session, costing ~6,200 tokens across 39 skills before any skill is invoked. The authoring rules mandated that growth: skill-author:104 and description-quality.md:21 both required padding, while skill-author:102 (the deflating rule) had no FAIL condition behind it. Gates (blocking, no baseline file): - description 250 chars SUGGESTION / 400 FAIL, measured on the folded YAML value - body-only 600 words SUGGESTION / 900 FAIL, independent of the unchanged whole-file 2770-word / 500-line spec backstop - every boundary-clause routing target must resolve to a real skill or agent; catches skill-improve, neuledge-context and gitea-labels - agents take the description gates but deliberately no body gate; a test pins that absence Vale: DescriptionOpener widened to ^This\b, new CompositionNote rule banning architecture notes from descriptions. 10 hits, 0 false positives. Kyberforge's own four skills retrofitted: descriptions 3,364 -> 938 chars (-72%), bodies 8,306 -> 2,487 words (-70%), all via the apm-workflow dispatch pattern. Fixes the skill-improve dangling route and the agent-author misroute to manual review. Also fixes a pre-existing false positive where any line-initial 'read ' was flagged as interactive input, which had already caused two scripts to be rewritten around it. Refs: ADR-0020

Use when the user wants an agent definition audited — "audit this agent",
|
|
"review my agent file", "is this ready to ship" — or after hand-editing an
|
|
agent outside agent-author. Not applying fixes -> agent-author. Not a skill
|
|
directory -> skill-audit.

## 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.
|
|
- Agents take the same 250/400-character description gates as skills and **no body word gate at all** — an agent body becomes the system prompt of a fresh context, so the 900-word skill ceiling does not transfer. Judge an over-long agent body through the delegation check, never by word count.
|
|
- At plugin/APM scope the agent is a single vendor-neutral file by design: never raise a pair-consistency finding there, and provider safety stops meaning Claude-Code-versus-Copilot field leakage.
|
|
- 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 1 — Deterministic checks
|
|
|
|
Resolve all three paths against this skill's own directory so they work from a repo checkout and an installed plugin cache alike. Run exactly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/validate.sh <agent-file>
|
|
bash scripts/validate-provenance.sh <agent-file>
|
|
scripts/vale-wrap.sh <agent-file> [<counterpart-file>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`validate.sh` takes either half of a project/user-scope pair or the single plugin/APM-scope file, detects the provider from the extension and the scope by walking up, then checks required fields, kebab-case `name`, `FILL IN:` placeholders, template HTML comments left in frontmatter, the ADR-0020 description budget (250 chars SUGGESTION, 400 FAIL, measured on the folded YAML value) and the fields that scope permits. Its findings become the `### Structure` dimension — its FAILs and its SUGGESTIONs both — except the ones the Step 2 scope contract re-routes.
|
|
|
|
If a validation script fails or cannot run — Bash denied, `python3` or `vale` absent, `references/field-inventory.md` missing — read `references/validation-scripts.md`; what these scripts measure is not reproducible by reading.
|
|
|
|
`validate-provenance.sh` prints nothing on success and runs at plugin/APM scope only, exiting 0 silently elsewhere. Its FAIL findings become a separate `### Provenance` dimension, and it emits Why and Fix itself — surface those verbatim.
|
|
|
|
`vale-wrap.sh` applies the bundled `Kyberforge` style as a prefilter. Pass no `--config`; the wrapper locates its own. At project/user scope pass both files of the pair, not only the one you were handed. Every rule is graded `error`, so every alert is a FAIL. Report each one citing its rule ID, filed under the dimension it belongs to, and do not re-derive it by judgment:
|
|
|
|
| Rule | Dimension |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `Kyberforge.DescriptionOpener`, `Kyberforge.CompositionNote`, `Kyberforge.VagueWording`, `KyberforgeCopilot.ProactivePhrase` | description |
|
|
| `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs`, `Kyberforge.PaddingPhrase` | body |
|
|
|
|
## Step 2 — Read the agent and load its scope contract
|
|
|
|
Read the agent file end to end, and at project/user scope its counterpart too. A path containing `.apm/agents/` is plugin/APM scope; anything else is project or user scope. Each contract names the dimensions that apply there and where `validate.sh` findings other than Structure belong:
|
|
|
|
| Scope | Read |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| plugin/APM | `references/scope-plugin-apm.md` |
|
|
| project, user | `references/scope-project-user.md` |
|
|
|
|
## Step 3 — Qualitative audit
|
|
|
|
Load a dimension's rubric before judging that dimension.
|
|
|
|
| Dimension | Read |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| description | `references/description-quality.md` |
|
|
| body, delegation, comment-discipline | `references/body-and-delegation.md` |
|
|
|
|
Cite file and line number for every finding.
|
|
|
|
## Step 4 — Report
|
|
|
|
Open with a coverage line naming every dimension checked. At project/user scope:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Checked: structure · provider-safety · description · body · delegation · comment-discipline · pair-consistency · provenance
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At plugin/APM scope, drop `pair-consistency` — there is no pair to check.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
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, `Run agent-author to address findings.`, whenever there is at least one finding. Do not apply fixes — report and propose only.
