# Critical Logic Coverage Auditor (L3 Worker)
**Type:** L3 Worker
Specialized worker identifying missing tests for unique critical local logic.
## Purpose & Scope
- Audit **Critical Logic Coverage** (Category 4: High Priority)
- Identify untested unique local logic only
- Classify by category (Money, Auth/Permissions, Data Integrity, Algorithms, Domain Rules)
- Emit `ADD_MISSING` findings for missing high-value tests
- Do not recommend tests just to increase coverage percentage
- Calculate compliance score (X/10)
## Inputs
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/audit_worker_core_contract.md`.
Tool policy: follow host AGENTS.md MCP preferences; load `references/mcp_tool_preferences.md` and `references/mcp_integration_patterns.md` only when host policy is absent or MCP behavior is unclear.
Receives `contextStore` with: `tech_stack`, `testFilesMetadata`, `codebase_root`, `output_dir`.
**Domain-aware:** Supports `domain_mode` + `current_domain` (see `audit_output_schema.md#domain-aware-worker-output`).
Use `hex-graph` first when hotspots materially improve coverage-gap discovery. Use `hex-line` first for local code and test reads when available. If MCP is unavailable, unsupported, or not indexed, continue with built-in `Read/Grep/Glob/Bash` and state the fallback in the report.
## Workflow
Detection policy: use two-layer detection (candidate scan, then context verification); load `references/two_layer_detection.md` only when the verification method is ambiguous.
1) **Parse context** -- extract fields, determine `scan_path` (domain-aware if specified)
ELSE:
scan_path = codebase_root
domain_name = null
```
2) **Identify critical local logic in scan_path** (not entire codebase)
- Scan production code in `scan_path` for money/auth/permission/data/algorithm/domain-rule keywords
- All Grep/Glob patterns use `scan_path` (not codebase_root)
- Example: `Grep(pattern="payment|refund|discount", path=scan_path)`
3) **Check test coverage for each critical path (Layer 1)**
- Search ALL test files for coverage (tests may be in different location than production code)
- Match by function name, module name, or test description
3b) **Context Analysis (Layer 2 -- MANDATORY):** For each gap candidate, ask:
- Is this function already covered by E2E/integration test? -> **downgrade to LOW**
- Is this a helper function with <10 lines called from tested code? -> **skip**
- Is keyword match a false positive (e.g., `paymentIcon()` is UI, not payment logic)? -> **skip**
4) **Collect missing tests**
- Tag each finding with `domain: domain_name` (if domain-aware)
- Set `action: "ADD_MISSING"` for every confirmed finding
5) **Calculate Score:** Count violations by severity, calculate compliance score (X/10)
6) **Write Report:** Build full markdown report in memory per `references/templates/audit_worker_report_template.md`, write to `{output_dir}/ln-634--{identifier}.md` (or `{output_dir}/ln-634--{identifier}.md` if domain-aware) in single Write call
7) **Return Summary:** Return minimal summary to coordinator (see Output Format)
## Critical Local Logic Classification
### 1. Money Flows (Priority 20+)
**What:** Any code handling financial transactions
**Examples:**
- Payment processing (`/payment`, `processPayment()`)
- Discounts/promotions (`calculateDiscount()`, `applyPromoCode()`)
- Tax calculations (`calculateTax()`, `getTaxRate()`)
- Refunds (`processRefund()`, `/refund`)
- Invoices/billing (`generateInvoice()`, `createBill()`)
- Currency conversion (`convertCurrency()`)
**Min Priority:** 20
**Why Critical:** Money loss, fraud, legal compliance
### 2. Auth & Permissions (Priority 20+)
**What:** Local authentication, authorization, permission, and security decisions
**Examples:**
- Login/logout (`/login`, `authenticate()`)
- Token refresh (`/refresh-token`, `refreshAccessToken()`)
- Password reset (`/forgot-password`, `resetPassword()`)
- Permissions/RBAC (`checkPermission()`, `hasRole()`)
- Encryption/hashing (custom crypto orchestration or policy, NOT library behavior such as bcrypt/argon2)
- API key validation (`validateApiKey()`)
**Min Priority:** 20
**Why Critical:** Security breach, data leak, unauthorized access
### 3. Data Integrity (Priority 15+)
**What:** CRUD operations, transactions, validation
**Examples:**
- Critical CRUD (`createUser()`, `deleteOrder()`, `updateProduct()`)
- Database transactions (`withTransaction()`)
- Data validation (custom validators, NOT framework defaults)
- Data migrations (`runMigration()`)
- Unique constraints (`checkDuplicateEmail()`)
**Min Priority:** 15
**Why Critical:** Data corruption, lost data, inconsistent state
### 4. Algorithms & Domain Rules (Priority 15+)
**What:** Local calculations, branching rules, state transitions, and algorithms that encode project-specific behavior
**Examples:**
- Ranking/scoring algorithms
- Eligibility rules
- Domain state transitions
- Custom validation rules beyond framework defaults
- Import/export transformations
**Min Priority:** 15
**Why Critical:** Wrong product behavior, bad decisions, corrupted business state
## Audit Rules
### 1. Identify Critical Local Logic
**Process:**
- Scan codebase for money-related keywords: `payment`, `refund`, `discount`, `tax`, `price`, `currency`
- Scan for auth/permission keywords: `auth`, `login`, `password`, `token`, `permission`, `role`, `policy`
- Scan for data keywords: `transaction`, `validation`, `migration`, `constraint`
- Scan for algorithms/domain rules: `score`, `rank`, `eligibility`, `state`, `workflow`, `rule`
- Exclude framework defaults, generated behavior, and library primitives; `ln-631` owns product-vs-platform test focus for existing tests
### 2. Check Test Coverage
**For each critical path:**
- Search test files for matching test name/description
- If NO test found -> add to missing tests list
- If test found but inadequate (only positive, no edge cases) -> add to gaps list
### 3. Categorize Gaps
**Severity by Priority:**
- **CRITICAL:** Priority 20+ (Money, Security)
- **HIGH:** Priority 15-19 (Data, Core Flows)
- **MEDIUM:** Priority 10-14 (Important but not critical)
- **Downgrade when:** Function already covered by E2E test -> LOW. Helper with <10 lines called from tested code -> skip
### 4. Provide Justification
**For each missing test:**
- Explain WHY it's critical (money loss, security breach, etc.)
- Suggest test type (E2E, Integration, Unit)
- Set action to `ADD_MISSING`
- Estimate effort (S/M/L)
## Scoring Algorithm
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/audit_scoring.md`.
**Severity mapping by Priority:**
- Priority 20+ (Money, Security) missing test -> CRITICAL
- Priority 15-19 (Data Integrity, Core Flows) missing test -> HIGH
- Priority 10-14 (Important) missing test -> MEDIUM
- Priority <10 (Nice-to-have) -> LOW
## Output Format
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/templates/audit_worker_report_template.md`.
Write JSON summary per `references/audit_summary_contract.md`. In managed mode the caller passes both `runId` and `summaryArtifactPath`; in standalone mode the worker generates its own run-scoped artifact path per shared contract.
Write report to `{output_dir}/ln-634--{identifier}.md` (global) or `{output_dir}/ln-634--{identifier}.md` (domain-aware) with `category: "Critical Logic Coverage"` and checks: money_logic_coverage, auth_permission_coverage, data_integrity_coverage, algorithm_domain_rule_coverage.
Return summary per `references/audit_summary_contract.md`.
When `summaryArtifactPath` is absent, write the standalone runtime summary under `.hex-skills/runtime-artifacts/runs/{run_id}/evaluation-worker/{worker}--{identifier}.json` and optionally echo the same summary in structured output.
```
Report written: .hex-skills/runtime-artifacts/runs/{run_id}/audit-report/ln-634--{identifier}.md
Score: X.X/10 | Issues: N (C:N H:N M:N L:N)
```
## Critical Rules
Apply the already-loaded `references/audit_worker_core_contract.md`.
- **Domain-aware scanning:** If `domain_mode="domain-aware"`, scan ONLY `scan_path` production code (not entire codebase)
- **Tag findings:** Include `domain` field in each finding when domain-aware
- **Test search scope:** Search ALL test files for coverage (tests may be in different location than production code)
- **Match by name:** Use function name, module name, or test description to match tests to production code
- **Do not auto-fix:** Report only
- **Unique angle:** Only find missing tests for unique local critical logic. Do not evaluate existing low-value tests, E2E journey priority, trustworthiness, oracle strength, manual evidence, or structure.
- **No coverage-percent work:** Do not recommend tests merely to improve line/branch coverage metrics.
- **Action required:** Every finding uses `action: "ADD_MISSING"`.

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.
