# Code Auditor Comprehensive codebase analysis covering architecture, code quality, security, performance, testing, and maintainability. ## When to Use - "audit the code" - "analyze code quality" - "check for issues" - "review the codebase" - "find technical debt" - "security audit" - "performance review" ## What It Analyzes ### 1. Architecture & Design - Overall structure and organization - Design patterns in use - Module boundaries and separation of concerns - Dependency management - Architectural decisions and trade-offs ### 2. Code Quality - Complexity hotspots (cyclomatic complexity) - Code duplication (DRY violations) - Naming conventions and consistency - Documentation coverage - Code smells and anti-patterns ### 3. Security - Common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) - Input validation and sanitization - Authentication and authorization - Secrets management - Dependency vulnerabilities ### 4. Performance - Algorithmic complexity issues - Database query optimization - Memory usage patterns - Caching opportunities - Resource leaks ### 5. Testing - Test coverage assessment - Test quality and effectiveness - Missing test scenarios - Testing patterns and practices - Integration vs unit test balance ### 6. Maintainability - Technical debt assessment - Coupling and cohesion - Ease of future changes - Onboarding friendliness - Documentation quality ## Approach 1. **Explore** using Explore agent (thorough mode) 2. **Identify patterns** with Grep and Glob 3. **Read critical files** for detailed analysis 4. **Run static analysis tools** if available 5. **Synthesize findings** into actionable report ## Thoroughness Levels - **Quick** (15-30 min): High-level, critical issues only - **Standard** (30-60 min): Comprehensive across all dimensions - **Deep** (60+ min): Exhaustive with detailed examples ## Output Format ```markdown # Code Audit Report ## Executive Summary - Overall health score - Critical issues count - Top 3 priorities ## Findings by Category ### Architecture & Design #### 🔴 High Priority - [Finding with file:line reference] - Impact: [description] - Recommendation: [action] #### 🟡 Medium Priority ... ### [Other categories] ## Prioritized Action Plan 1. Quick wins (< 1 day) 2. Medium-term improvements (1-5 days) 3. Long-term initiatives (> 5 days) ## Metrics - Files analyzed: X - Lines of code: Y - Test coverage: Z% - Complexity hotspots: N ``` ## Tools Used - **Task (Explore agent)**: Thorough codebase exploration - **Grep**: Pattern matching for issues - **Glob**: Find files by type/pattern - **Read**: Detailed file analysis - **Bash**: Run linters, coverage tools ## Success Criteria - Comprehensive coverage of all six dimensions - Specific file:line references for all findings - Severity/priority ratings (Critical/High/Medium/Low) - Actionable recommendations (not just observations) - Estimated effort for fixes - Both quick wins and long-term improvements ## Integration - **feature-planning**: Plan technical debt reduction - **test-fixing**: Address test gaps identified - **project-bootstrapper**: Set up quality tooling ## Configuration Can focus on specific areas: - Security-only audit - Performance-only audit - Testing-only assessment - Quick architecture review

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
