Scale Audit

Pack Availability Guard

When recommending a skill from another pack, verify the target pack is installed via .agents/project.json enabled_packs. If it is not enabled, recommend $pack install <pack> inside Codex, or npx skillpacks install <pack> from the project shell. After install, tell Codex users to start a fresh Codex CLI session if the $ skill list remains stale. Global skills are always valid. Skills from this same pack are valid because the current skill is already running from that pack.

Scale Audit — Enterprise Production Readiness

Invoke as $scale-audit.

Automated analysis that evaluates the codebase against research/enterprise-icp.md. Identifies gaps for enterprise deals — stakeholder journey coverage, compliance, infrastructure, and operations.

Prerequisites

research/enterprise-icp.md (or research/{slug}/enterprise-icp.md) must exist. If not, tell the user to run $enterprise-icp first.

Process

0. Product-Path Scope Resolution

Resolve research scope by product path before using code or app structure as a hint:

1. If $ARGUMENTS names a non-archived research/{slug}/ directory or a product-path ID whose scope_path points there, use that path. Treat {slug} as the product/app name, not the ICP, audience, or segment label.
2. If $ARGUMENTS names only research/_archive/{slug}/ or a manifest entry with status: archived or legacy status: abandoned, stop and warn that the path is archived; do not write or update scoped outputs there.
3. Read research/.progress.yaml when present. Normalize legacy active_path to active_paths on read and write back active_paths on manifest updates. Treat legacy abandoned as archived; exclude archived, abandoned, deferred, revisit_candidate, promoted, and any scope_path under research/_archive/ from active target selection.
4. If active product paths exist in the manifest, use those paths. If multiple active paths exist, ask which one to target unless this skill explicitly supports cross-path output.
5. If no active manifest target exists, list non-archived product directories under research/, excluding research/_archive/ and dot directories. Auto-select only when exactly one exists; ask when multiple exist.
6. If no product directories exist, use flat research/ single-product mode.
7. Detect monorepo/app/package structure only as a secondary hint. Suggest creating a missing research/{slug}/ product path when code clearly exposes an app, but do not require code or monorepo detection before using research/{slug}/.

When product path {slug} is active, read and write research under research/{slug}/, specs under specs/{slug}/, and treat top-level research/*.md files as flat-mode documents or cross-path summaries.

1. Load Context & Evaluate

1. Read research/enterprise-icp.md (or research/{slug}/enterprise-icp.md), research/icp.md (or research/{slug}/icp.md), research/mvp-gap.md (or research/{slug}/mvp-gap.md) (if they exist), codebase, and in-progress/advisory work from tasks/roadmap.md, tasks/todo.md, tasks/manual-todo.md, tasks/record-todo.md, and tasks/recurring-todo.md (if they exist).
2. Evaluate the codebase across:
   • Per-Persona Journey Coverage — Can each stakeholder complete their workflow?
   • Onboarding Gaps — Self-serve, team, SSO-provisioned, migration, training
   • Compliance Readiness — SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, encryption, secrets management
   • Infrastructure Readiness — Multi-tenancy, scaling, DR, observability, CI/CD
   • Operational Readiness — Incident response, SLA monitoring, support, customer success
   • Escalated Startup Gaps — Unresolved MVP gaps now critical at enterprise scale
3. Tag gaps: hard-blocker, soft-blocker, or differentiator. Estimate effort (S/M/L/XL).

Deliverables

• specs/scale-audit.md (or specs/{slug}/scale-audit.md) — Gap analysis with stakeholder coverage matrix, compliance matrix, priority tags, and $user-flow-map prompts for each unspecced flow/design-shape gap

The output file must end with a ## Next Steps section containing a Recommended item and 2–4 other contextual options. Choose the recommendation by the first matching condition:

1. IF any hard-blocker lacks flow/design shape or a full implementation spec: $user-flow-map [top blocker] — map the highest-priority enterprise blocker into concrete screen flow, decisions, branches, states, and recovery paths before UI/layout planning.
2. IF enterprise stakeholder journey context is missing: $journey-map enterprise — map enterprise stakeholder journeys before sequencing build work.
3. IF startup gaps escalated and research/mvp-gap.md is missing or stale: $mvp-gap — re-evaluate startup readiness first.
4. IF enterprise SLA or compliance gaps lack closure metrics: $metrics — define metrics covering enterprise SLAs.
5. OTHERWISE: $roadmap — sequence the already-specced enterprise work into implementation phases.

Only recommend $roadmap as the primary next step when every hard-blocker already has a full spec or is already tracked in tasks/roadmap.md, tasks/todo.md, tasks/manual-todo.md, tasks/record-todo.md, or tasks/recurring-todo.md.

Task Classification

When this skill produces follow-up work, file it by execution semantics:

• Immediately actionable implementation or documentation work goes in tasks/todo.md.
• Human-only external actions tied to automated steps go in tasks/manual-todo.md with _(blocks: Step N.X)_ or _(after: Step N.X)_; repo edits, SDK wiring, generated assets, local commands, tests, audits, and authenticated CLI/API work stay in tasks/todo.md.
• One-time condition-gated records, baselines, or future measurements go in tasks/record-todo.md with source, condition, non-blocking reason, evidence, and promotion rule.
• Cadence-based reviews, playtests, adoption checks, investor updates, retros, or docs-health checks go in tasks/recurring-todo.md with cadence, owner/agent, next due, evidence path, and escalation conditions.
• Do not put non-blocking records or recurring obligations in tasks/todo.md unless they have been explicitly promoted into current execution work.

Constraints

• Analysis only — do not make code changes.
• Every gap must cite specific evidence.
• Distinguish "first enterprise deal" from "100th enterprise deal."
• Include $user-flow-map <topic> prompts for gaps lacking flow/design shape or full specs. Use $ux-variations --layout-mode <topic> only when flow and UI requirements already exist but layout alternatives are missing.
• ## Next Steps must be the final section in the output file, with a recommended next step and 2–4 other contextual options.

Alignment Page

When this skill produces durable deliverables (research, specs, plans, reports, prototypes, or any document output), build a full-depth HTML alignment page following ALIGNMENT-PAGE.md in this skill's directory. Output: alignment/scale-audit-{topic}.html.
