The routing-target check understood only a single-arrow clause naming a bare skill, so most real boundary prose was silently skipped rather than verified. Two of those silences were fail-open: an unrecognised token following a target dropped that target from the check entirely, and a skill directory with no SKILL.md still resolved as a valid routing target, so a broken route passed. Multi-target arrow clauses now draw a SUGGESTION instead of being ignored, hand-invocation phrasing is carved out so it is not read as a route, and a dotted filename parses into a new `unparsed` status rather than disappearing. Three test fixtures had been relying on the SKILL.md-less directory resolving as a target; they are corrected alongside the check. Addresses #107, #108, #110.
agent-audit
Audits an agent definition for correctness and quality against the Claude Code and Copilot agent references and the house context-budget contract (ADR-0020) — a single vendor-neutral file at plugin/APM scope, or a Claude Code and Copilot file pair at project/user scope.
What it does
- Runs
scripts/validate.shandscripts/validate-provenance.shfor structural and provenance checks, plusscripts/vale-wrap.sh— a Vale prefilter that deterministically flags non-imperative description openers, composition and architecture notes, vague wording, padding phrases, "There is/are" sentence openers, and CC-specific "Use proactively" phrasing in a Copilot or vendor-neutral description - Reads the agent file, and its counterpart when one exists, then loads the contract for its scope
- Applies qualitative checks across description, body, delegation and comment discipline, loading
one rubric from
references/per group - Outputs a compact findings report — findings only, grouped by dimension, each with Why and Fix —
and a result block with handoff to
agent-author
Two things follow from ADR-0020 and are easy to get backwards. Agents take the same description
gates a skill takes — 250 characters SUGGESTION, 400 FAIL, since a name + description is
preloaded into every session either way — and no body word gate at all, because an agent body
becomes the system prompt of a fresh context rather than competing with the caller's live
conversation. Body length is judged through the delegation check instead: an agent body that
restates a procedure owned by a skill it can invoke is a FAIL, because a plugin-scope agent has no
sibling references/ directory to disclose to and can only delegate.
At plugin/APM scope the audit accepts the single .apm/agents/<name>.agent.md file — there is
no counterpart, and pair consistency does not apply. validate.sh hard-FAILs any frontmatter
field outside the vendor-neutral allowlist, since apm compile copies frontmatter verbatim to both
harnesses and an unsafe field cannot be silently dropped for just one of them. The allowlist lives
in the apm-agent-allowlist section of references/field-inventory.md, is read from there as data
by the script, and is deliberately not restated anywhere else in this skill (ADR-0009).
At project/user scope the audit accepts either file in a CC .md / Copilot .agent.md pair,
derives the counterpart automatically, and validates both, including the field-leakage checks in
each direction.
Usage
/agent-audit
Pass the path to either agent file as the argument.

Rows marked (source-only) exist in the authoring source (.apm/skills/agent-audit/) but are
not present in an installed plugin: scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh strips
<category>/<name>/tests when it generates the flat mirror, because these are dev-time fixtures no
plugin host needs to discover (ADR-0017). Run them from a repo checkout, not from an install.
