Audit Full

Full-Codebase Audit

Single-pass whole-project analysis leveraging Opus 4.6's extended context window. Loads entire codebases (~50K LOC) into context for cross-file vulnerability detection, architecture review, and dependency analysis.

Quick Start

/ork:audit-full                          # Full audit (all modes)
/ork:audit-full security                 # Security-focused audit
/ork:audit-full architecture             # Architecture review
/ork:audit-full dependencies             # Dependency audit

Opus 4.6 / 4.7: Uses complexity: max for extended thinking across entire codebases. 1M context (GA) enables cross-file reasoning that chunked approaches miss. On Opus 4.7, prefers xhigh effort for one additional cross-file pattern sweep.

1M Context Required: If CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT is set, audit-full cannot perform full-codebase analysis. Check: echo $CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT — if non-empty, either unset it (unset CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT) or use /ork:verify for chunked analysis instead.

Effort (CC 2.1.111+): xhigh (Opus 4.7 only) adds a second pass that re-reads cross-module boundaries specifically looking for patterns the first pass normalized over. Silently falls back to high on other models; /ork:doctor warns on mismatch.

STEP 0: Verify User Intent with AskUserQuestion

BEFORE creating tasks, clarify audit scope using the interactive dialog.

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/audit-scope-dialog.md") for the full AskUserQuestion dialog with mode options (Full/Security/Architecture/Dependencies) and scope options (Entire codebase/Specific directory/Changed files).

CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY

# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="Full-codebase audit",
  description="Single-pass audit using extended context",
  activeForm="Running full-codebase audit"
)

# 2. Create subtasks for each phase
TaskCreate(subject="Estimate token budget and plan loading", activeForm="Estimating token budget")  # id=2
TaskCreate(subject="Load codebase into context", activeForm="Loading codebase")                    # id=3
TaskCreate(subject="Run audit analysis", activeForm="Analyzing codebase")                          # id=4
TaskCreate(subject="Generate audit report", activeForm="Generating report")                        # id=5

# 3. Set dependencies for sequential phases
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])  # Loading needs budget estimate
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])  # Analysis needs codebase loaded
TaskUpdate(taskId="5", addBlockedBy=["4"])  # Report needs analysis done

# 4. Before starting each task, verify it's unblocked
task = TaskGet(taskId="2")  # Verify blockedBy is empty

# 5. Update status as you progress
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="in_progress")  # When starting
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="completed")    # When done — repeat for each subtask

STEP 1: Estimate Token Budget

Before loading files, estimate whether the codebase fits in context.

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/token-budget-planning.md") for estimation rules (tokens/line by file type), budget allocation tables, auto-exclusion list, and fallback dialog when codebase exceeds budget.

Run estimation: bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/estimate-tokens.sh /path/to/project

STEP 2: Load Codebase into Context

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/report-structure.md") for loading strategy, inclusion patterns by language (TS/JS, Python, Config), and batch reading patterns.

STEP 3: Audit Analysis

With codebase loaded, perform the selected audit mode(s).

Security Audit

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/security-audit-guide.md") for the full checklist.

Key cross-file analysis patterns:

1. Data flow tracing: Track user input from entry point → processing → storage
2. Auth boundary verification: Ensure all protected routes check auth
3. Secret detection: Scan for hardcoded credentials, API keys, tokens
4. Injection surfaces: SQL, command, template injection across file boundaries
5. OWASP Top 10 mapping: Classify findings by OWASP category

Architecture Review

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/architecture-review-guide.md") for the full guide.

Key analysis patterns:

1. Dependency direction: Verify imports flow inward (clean architecture)
2. Circular dependencies: Detect import cycles across modules
3. Layer violations: Business logic in controllers, DB in routes, etc.
4. Pattern consistency: Same problem solved differently across codebase
5. Coupling analysis: Count cross-module imports, identify tight coupling

Dependency Audit

Load: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/dependency-audit-guide.md") for the full guide.

Key analysis patterns:

1. Known CVEs: Check versions against known vulnerabilities
2. License compliance: Identify copyleft licenses in proprietary code
3. Version currency: Flag significantly outdated dependencies
4. Transitive risk: Identify deep dependency chains
5. Unused dependencies: Detect installed but never imported packages

Progressive Output (CC 2.1.76)

Output findings incrementally as each audit mode completes — don't batch until the report:

1. Security findings first — show critical/high vulnerabilities immediately, don't wait for architecture review
2. Architecture findings — show dependency direction violations, circular deps as they surface
3. Dependency findings — show CVE matches, license compliance issues

For multi-mode audits (Full), each mode's findings appear as they complete. This lets users act on critical security findings while architecture analysis is still running.

STEP 4: Generate Report

Load the report template: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/audit-report-template.md").

Report structure and severity classification: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/report-structure.md") for finding table format, severity breakdown (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW with timelines), and architecture diagram conventions.

Severity matrix: Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/severity-matrix.md") for classification criteria.

Completion Checklist

Before finalizing the report, verify with Read("${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/checklists/audit-completion.md").

PushNotification on Completion (CC 2.1.110+)

A full-codebase 1M-context audit typically runs 15–60 minutes on medium projects and can exceed that on large ones. After the report file is written and the completion checklist passes, call PushNotification so the finding counts are visible even if the user walked away.

PushNotification(
  title="ork:audit-full complete",
  body=f"{SCOPE}: {critical}C/{high}H/{medium}M/{low}L findings · report at {report_path}"
)

Full rule: Read("/Users/yonatangross/coding/yonatangross/orchestkit/plugins/ork/skills/chain-patterns/rules/push-notification-on-completion.md").
