Audit Coordinator

name: audit-coordinator description: Orchestrates comprehensive audits across multiple specialized auditors for Claude Code customizations and provides guidance on naming, organization, best practices, and troubleshooting. Use when: (1) Auditing - wants complete evaluation, multi-faceted analysis, coordinated audit reports, thorough validation, or asks to audit multiple components; (2) Guidance - asks "what should I name...", "how should I organize...", "best practices for...", troubleshooting issues, understanding evaluation criteria, or needs pre-deployment validation. Automatically determines which auditors to invoke (agent-audit, skill-audit, hook-audit, command-audit, output-style-audit, evaluator, test-runner) based on target type and compiles unified reports with consolidated recommendations. allowed-tools: [Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Skill, Task] model: sonnet

Audit Coordinator

Orchestrates comprehensive audits by coordinating multiple specialized auditors and compiling their findings into unified reports.

Available Auditors

The audit ecosystem includes:

claude-code-evaluator (Agent)

Purpose: General correctness, clarity, and effectiveness validation Scope: All customization types Focus: YAML validation, required fields, structure, naming conventions, context economy Invocation: Via Task tool with subagent_type='claude-code-evaluator'

skill-audit (Skill)

Purpose: Skill discoverability and triggering effectiveness Scope: Skills only Focus: Description quality, trigger phrase coverage, progressive disclosure, discovery score Invocation: Via Skill tool or auto-triggers on skill-related queries

hook-audit (Skill)

Purpose: Hook safety, correctness, and performance Scope: Hooks only Focus: JSON handling, exit codes, error handling, performance, settings.json registration Invocation: Via Skill tool or auto-triggers on hook-related queries

claude-code-test-runner (Agent)

Purpose: Functional testing and execution validation Scope: All customization types Focus: Test generation, execution, edge cases, integration testing Invocation: Via Task tool with subagent_type='claude-code-test-runner'

agent-audit (Skill)

Purpose: Agent-specific validation for model selection, tool restrictions, and focus areas Scope: Agents only Focus: Model appropriateness (Sonnet/Haiku/Opus), tool permissions, focus area quality, approach completeness Invocation: Via Skill tool or auto-triggers on agent-related queries

command-audit (Skill)

Purpose: Command delegation and simplicity validation Scope: Commands only Focus: Delegation clarity, simplicity enforcement (6-80 lines), argument handling, documentation proportionality Invocation: Via Skill tool or auto-triggers on command-related queries

output-style-audit (Skill)

Purpose: Output-style persona and behavior validation Scope: Output-styles only Focus: Persona definition clarity, behavior specification concreteness, keep-coding-instructions decision, scope alignment Invocation: Via Skill tool or auto-triggers on output-style-related queries

Orchestration Workflow

Step 1: Identify Target Type

Determine what needs auditing:

Single File:

• Agent file (*.md in agents/)
• Skill (SKILL.md in skills/*/SKILL.md)
• Hook (.sh or.py in hooks/)
• Command (*.md in commands/)
• Output-style (*.md in output-styles/)

Multiple Files:

• All skills
• All hooks
• All agents
• Entire setup

Context Clues:

• File path mentioned
• Type specified ("audit my hook", "check this skill")
• General request ("audit my setup", "review everything")

Step 2: Determine Appropriate Auditors

Use decision matrix based on target type:

Agent:

• Primary: agent-audit (model, tools, focus areas, approach)
• Secondary: claude-code-evaluator (structure)
• Optional: claude-code-test-runner (if testing requested)

Skill:

• Primary: skill-audit (discoverability)
• Secondary: claude-code-evaluator (structure)
• Optional: claude-code-test-runner (functionality)

Hook:

• Primary: hook-audit (safety and correctness)
• Secondary: claude-code-evaluator (structure)

Command:

• Primary: command-audit (delegation, simplicity, arguments)
• Secondary: claude-code-evaluator (structure)

Output-Style:

• Primary: output-style-audit (persona, behaviors, coding-instructions)
• Secondary: claude-code-evaluator (structure)
• Optional: claude-code-test-runner (effectiveness)

Setup (All):

• agent-audit (all agents)
• skill-audit (all skills)
• hook-audit (all hooks)
• command-audit (all commands)
• output-style-audit (all output-styles)
• claude-code-evaluator (comprehensive)
• Can run in parallel

Step 3: Invoke Auditors

Execute auditors in appropriate sequence:

Sequential (when results depend on each other):

skill-audit → claude-code-evaluator → test-runner

Parallel (when independent):

skill-audit (all skills) || hook-audit (all hooks) || evaluator (agents/commands)

Single (when only one needed):

hook-audit → done

Step 4: Compile Reports

Collect findings from all auditors and create unified report.

Step 5: Generate Unified Summary

Consolidate recommendations by priority and provide next steps.

Target-Specific Patterns

Pattern: Single Skill Audit

User Query: "Audit my bash-audit skill"

Workflow:

1. Invoke skill-audit for discoverability analysis
2. Invoke claude-code-evaluator for structure validation
3. Compile reports
4. Generate unified recommendations

Output:

• Discovery score
• Structure assessment
• Progressive disclosure status
• Consolidated recommendations

Pattern: Single Hook Audit

User Query: "Check my validate-config.py hook"

Workflow:

1. Invoke hook-audit for safety and correctness
2. Optionally invoke evaluator for structure
3. Compile reports
4. Generate unified recommendations

Output:

• Safety compliance status
• Exit code correctness
• Error handling assessment
• Performance analysis
• Consolidated recommendations

Pattern: Setup-Wide Audit

User Query: "Audit my entire Claude Code setup"

Workflow:

1. Invoke claude-code-evaluator for comprehensive setup analysis
2. Invoke skill-audit for all skills
3. Invoke hook-audit for all hooks
4. Run in parallel when possible
5. Compile all reports
6. Generate prioritized recommendations

Output:

• Setup summary (counts, sizes, context usage)
• Component-specific findings
• Cross-cutting issues
• Prioritized action items

Pattern: Multiple Component Types

User Query: "Audit all my skills and hooks"

Workflow:

1. Invoke skill-audit for all skills (can run in parallel)
2. Invoke hook-audit for all hooks (can run in parallel)
3. Compile reports
4. Generate unified summary

Output:

• Skills: Discovery scores, structure
• Hooks: Safety compliance, performance
• Consolidated recommendations

Report Compilation

When multiple auditors run, compile findings:

Consolidation Strategy

1. Collect all findings from each auditor
2. Group by severity: Critical → Important → Nice-to-Have
3. Deduplicate similar issues across auditors
4. Reconcile priorities when auditors disagree
5. Generate unified recommendations

Priority Reconciliation

When different auditors assign different priorities:

Rule 1: Critical from any auditor → Critical overall Rule 2: Important + Important → Critical Rule 3: Important + Nice-to-Have → Important Rule 4: Nice-to-Have + Nice-to-Have → Nice-to-Have
