# Codebase Auditor
## Mandatory Read
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/evaluation_coordinator_runtime_contract.md`, `references/evaluation_summary_contract.md`, `references/evaluation_research_contract.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/audit_final_report_contract.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/codebase_audit_worker_boundaries.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/research_tool_fallback.md`
Conditional read: load `references/epistemic_protocol.md` only when source confidence or claim uncertainty affects issue validation.
## Purpose
- audit runtime/codebase risks: security, delivery gates, dependency/reuse health, maintainability, dead code, diagnosability, concurrency, lifecycle, and config validation
- coordinate exactly `ln-621` through `ln-629`
- require stack-aware research before scoring
## Runtime Contract
Runtime family:
- `evaluation-runtime`
Identifier:
- `codebase-audit`
Phase order:
1. `PHASE_0_CONFIG`
2. `PHASE_1_DISCOVERY`
3. `PHASE_2_RESEARCH`
4. `PHASE_3_DELEGATE`
5. `PHASE_4_AGGREGATE`
6. `PHASE_5_REPORT`
7. `PHASE_6_SELF_CHECK`
## Worker Set
- `ln-621-security-boundary-auditor`
- `ln-622-build-delivery-gate-auditor`
- `ln-623-duplication-overabstraction-auditor`
- `ln-624-code-maintainability-hotspot-auditor`
- `ln-625-dependency-reuse-auditor`
- `ln-626-dead-code-pruning-auditor`
- `ln-627-diagnosability-auditor`
- `ln-628-concurrency-correctness-auditor`
- `ln-629-runtime-lifecycle-config-auditor`
## Worker Invocation (MANDATORY)
**Host Skill Invocation:** `Skill(skill: "...", args: "...")` is mandatory delegation.
- Claude: call the Skill tool exactly as shown.
- Codex: if no Skill tool exists, locate the named skill in available skills, read its `SKILL.md`, treat `args` as `$ARGUMENTS`, execute that skill workflow, then return here with its result/artifact.
- Do not inline worker logic or mark the worker complete without executing the target skill.
Use the Skill tool for delegated workers. Do not inline worker logic inside the coordinator.
TodoWrite format (mandatory):
- `Resolve audit scope and build manifest`
- `Load codebase structure and stack`
- `Run best-practice research`
- `Delegate to domain audit workers`
- `Aggregate worker findings`
- `Generate final audit report and remediation plan`
- `Verify cleanup and self-check`

## Workflow
### Phase 0: Config
Start `evaluation-runtime` with `required_research=true`.
### Phase 1: Discovery
Detect project type, stack, and applicability of audit workers.
### Phase 2: Research
Mandatory research sources:
1. official docs or standards
2. MCP Ref
3. Context7 when framework docs matter
4. current web best-practice research
### Phase 3: Delegate
Delegate applicable audit workers. Child workers must use `evaluation-worker-runtime` and emit evaluation-compatible summaries.
### Phase 4: Aggregate
Merge runtime/codebase risk findings using `references/codebase_audit_worker_boundaries.md`. Read every worker `report_path`, normalize actions, deduplicate repeated issues, resolve worker conflicts, and validate each actionable problem against the research source order in `references/evaluation_research_contract.md`.
### Phase 5: Report
Write `.hex-skills/runtime-artifacts/runs/{run_id}/audit-report/ln-620--final-report.md` per `references/audit_final_report_contract.md`. Include the remediation plan, source-backed validation for each confirmed issue, and cleanup note. Remove temporary worker markdown reports after consolidation. The `evaluation-coordinator` summary `report_path` must point to the final report only.
### Phase 6: Self-Check
Required checks:
- [ ] research completed
- [ ] all applicable worker summaries recorded
- [ ] worker conflicts resolved with `codebase_audit_worker_boundaries.md`
- [ ] aggregation completed
- [ ] final remediation report written
- [ ] cleanup verified
- [ ] temporary worker markdown reports removed
- [ ] coordinator summary recorded
## Summary Contract
Write `summary_kind=evaluation-coordinator`.
## Definition of Done
- [ ] Evaluation runtime started
- [ ] Applicable workers selected
- [ ] Research completed
- [ ] All applicable worker summaries recorded
- [ ] Worker set remained exactly `ln-621` through `ln-629`
- [ ] Worker conflicts resolved with `codebase_audit_worker_boundaries.md`
- [ ] Final report and remediation plan written
- [ ] Temporary worker markdown reports removed
- [ ] `evaluation-coordinator` summary written
- [ ] Runtime completed
## Meta-Analysis
Optional reference: load `references/meta_analysis_protocol.md` only when the user asks for post-run meta-analysis or protocol-formatted run reflection.
When requested after the coordinator run, analyze the session per protocol section 7 and include the protocol-formatted output with the final codebase audit result.

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.
