Due Diligence

Due Diligence Skill

This skill performs a comprehensive audit of the finans application. You are a seasoned engineer conducting a thorough technical review.

Output: A detailed due-diligence report saved to .docs/DUE-DILIGENCE-REPORT.md

Audit Scope

The audit covers six key areas:

1. Best Practices Compliance - Architecture, patterns, conventions
2. Security Compliance - OWASP, auth, data protection
3. Frontend Design Quality - Clean, simple, accessible
4. Top 5 Valuable Improvements - Highest ROI recommendations
5. Top 5 Critical Errors - Bugs, vulnerabilities, blockers
6. Overall Scores - Design, Code Quality, Security (0-100)

Audit Workflow

Phase 1: Codebase Exploration

Launch 5 parallel Explore agents with haiku model using the Task tool.

See Subagent Strategy section below for exact Task parameters.

Each agent focuses on one area:

1. Backend Architecture - Routes, controllers, services, middleware, CosmosDB
2. Frontend Architecture - Features, components, state, routing, hooks
3. Security Analysis - Secrets, auth, validation, headers, OWASP
4. Design Review - CSS, typography, colors, responsive, accessibility
5. Code Quality - TypeScript, errors, duplication, formatting, imports

All 5 agents run in parallel and return structured findings.

Phase 2: Findings Compilation

After exploration, compile findings into structured categories:

Best Practices Checklist

Security Checklist (OWASP Top 10)

Frontend Design Criteria

Phase 3: Score Calculation

Score each area from 0-100 based on findings:

Scoring Rubric:

Scoring Factors:

Subagent Strategy

Use parallel Explore agents with haiku for fast exploration (Phase 1):

Launch 5 Task calls in a single message with these parameters:

// Agent 1: Backend Analysis
Task({
  subagent_type: "Explore",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Backend architecture analysis",
  prompt: `Analyze backend architecture for due diligence audit.
    Read: backend/src/index.ts, routes/, controllers/, services/
    Check: middleware (auth, error handling, rate limiting)
    Verify: API patterns, validation, error responses, CosmosDB integration
    Return: structured findings for best practices and security`
})

// Agent 2: Frontend Analysis
Task({
  subagent_type: "Explore",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Frontend architecture analysis",
  prompt: `Analyze frontend architecture for due diligence audit.
    Read: frontend/src/features/, shared/components/
    Check: state management (TanStack Query, Context), hooks usage
    Verify: component patterns, routing, navigation
    Return: structured findings for code quality and patterns`
})

// Agent 3: Security Scan
Task({
  subagent_type: "Explore",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Security vulnerability scan",
  prompt: `Perform security analysis for due diligence audit.
    Scan for: hardcoded secrets, API keys, exposed credentials
    Check: auth implementation (EasyAuth header validation)
    Verify: input validation, sanitization, CORS, CSP, security headers
    Look for: SQL injection, XSS, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
    Return: security findings with severity levels`
})

// Agent 4: Design Review
Task({
  subagent_type: "Explore",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Frontend design review",
  prompt: `Review frontend design for due diligence audit.
    Check: CSS architecture (Nordic Minimal compliance in design system)
    Verify: typography (Cormorant, DM Sans, JetBrains Mono usage)
    Check: color palette usage, responsive design patterns
    Verify: accessibility basics (semantic HTML, labels, ARIA)
    Return: design compliance findings`
})

// Agent 5: Code Quality Review
Task({
  subagent_type: "Explore",
  model: "haiku",
  description: "Code quality analysis",
  prompt: `Analyze code quality for due diligence audit.
    Check: TypeScript strictness (any types, explicit typing)
    Verify: error handling patterns, code duplication
    Check: consistent formatting, import organization
    Look for: DRY violations, dead code, complexity issues
    Return: code quality findings with locations`
})

Key points:

• All 5 agents launched in one message (parallel execution)
• Use subagent_type: "Explore" for fast codebase analysis
• Use model: "haiku" for speed (exploration doesn't need opus/sonnet)
• Each agent returns structured findings for compilation

Then use the main agent to compile findings and generate the report.

Critical Rules

1. BE THOROUGH - Check every file that matters
2. BE HONEST - Don't sugarcoat issues
3. BE SPECIFIC - File paths, line numbers, exact problems
4. BE ACTIONABLE - Every finding has a recommendation
5. USE TOOLS - Read/Glob/Grep for analysis, never bash cat/grep

Example Invocation

When user says "run due diligence" or invokes this skill:

1. Read CLAUDE.md for project context
2. Launch 5 parallel Explore agents (haiku) in one message
3. Collect findings from all agents
4. Calculate scores based on findings
5. Generate report to .docs/DUE-DILIGENCE-REPORT.md
6. Present summary to user

Output Location

Report saved to: .docs/DUE-DILIGENCE-REPORT.md

Always save the full report. Present a summary in the conversation.

NOTES FROM THE USER:

• NO .env FILES ARE CHECKED IN. ALL .env FILES ARE IGNORED BY GIT.
