Policy Audit Template Usage

Policy Audit Template Usage

Shared rules for creating policy audit artifacts from the MCP-exposed bundled template assets.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• An agent must create a policy-audit.<timestamp>.md file.
• The MCP-exposed policy-audit template asset is required.

Template Source

• Required template source: the MCP server tool resolve_policy_audit_template_asset with asset selector template.
• The resolved MCP asset is authoritative even when a matching repo file also exists.
• If MCP asset resolution fails, create a minimal policy audit artifact marked BLOCKED and document the missing template resolution.

Required Steps

1. Resolve the policy-audit template through the MCP server tool resolve_policy_audit_template_asset with asset template, then copy the resolved asset to the target location using an ISO-8601 timestamp.
2. Replace placeholders with actual values (component, date, files under test, commits).
3. Remove any template usage instructions per template guidance.
4. Mark each section PASS/FAIL/N/A using the template’s expected conventions.
5. Preserve the canonical major sections from the template:
   • ## Executive Summary
   • ## 1. General Unit Test Policy Compliance
   • ## 2. General Code Change Policy Compliance
   • ## 3. Language-Specific Code Change Policy Compliance
   • ## 4. Language-Specific Unit Test Policy Compliance
   • ## 5. Test Coverage Detail
   • ## 6. Test Execution Metrics
   • ## 7. Code Quality Checks
   • ## 8. Gaps and Exceptions
   • ## 9. Summary of Changes
   • ## 10. Compliance Verdict
   • ## Appendix A: Test Inventory
   • ## Appendix B: Toolchain Commands Reference
6. Run the validate_orchestration_artifacts MCP tool with artifact_type: "policy-audit" and artifact_path: <path> and fail closed on any non-zero result.

Invalid Outputs

• A freeform summary note is invalid.
• A policy audit that retains the template instruction block is invalid.
• A policy audit that omits the canonical major headings is invalid.
