recipe-quality-audit
Audit a single NVCA recipe's quality and produce a structured scorecard.
Security model
- This skill operates on local repository files only — no network access required.
- Source document downloads (Tier 2 checks) use
ensureSourceDocx() which fetches from known template source URLs only.
- No credentials or API keys are needed.
Usage
Run the audit for a specific recipe:
Audit the recipe: nvca-certificate-of-incorporation
Or audit all recipes:
Audit all NVCA recipes and update the quality tracker
Checks
Tier 1: Structural (no source download needed)
| # |
Check |
How |
| S1 |
File inventory |
Does recipe have metadata.yaml, replacements.json, clean.json? Optional: computed.json, normalize.json, selections.json |
| S2 |
Metadata schema valid |
Run existing validateRecipeMetadata() from src/core/metadata.ts |
| S3 |
Field-to-replacement coverage |
For each field in metadata, is there a replacement key referencing {field_name}? |
| S4 |
Ambiguous keys |
Flag replacement keys < 8 chars without context qualifier (e.g., [name], [its]) |
| S5 |
Smart quote coverage |
Keys with apostrophes should have smart-quote variants (or patcher normalizes — check patcher has normalizeQuotes) |
| S6 |
Source SHA present |
source_sha256 in metadata.yaml |
| S7 |
Test fixture exists |
integration-tests/fixtures/{recipe-id}-*.json exists |
Tier 2: Behavioral (requires source download)
| # |
Check |
How |
| B1 |
Source download + scan |
Count all \[[_A-Z] prefixed bracket patterns in source (underscore-fill or capitalized placeholders) |
| B2 |
Replacement coverage ratio |
(keys with match in source) / (total bracket patterns). Target: >80% |
| B3 |
Unmatched underscore patterns |
[___+] patterns in source not in replacements.json |
| B4 |
Clean effectiveness |
After clean, no footnotes, no "Note to Drafter", no preamble |
Tier 3: Fill quality (requires fill run)
| # |
Check |
How |
| F1 |
Default-only fill |
Fill with defaults, run verifyOutput, count blank placeholders |
| F2 |
Full-values fill |
Fill with all fields from test fixture, assert all verify checks pass |
| F3 |
Formatting anomaly count |
Check 8 from verifier (single-char underlined runs) |
| F4 |
Zero-match replacement keys |
Keys that existed in replacements.json but matched nothing in the source |

"recommendations": [
"Add test fixture for fill testing (S7)",

]
}
Maturity Tiers
- scaffold: metadata-only, can't fill
- beta: has replacements + clean, score < 11/15 OR no test fixture
- production: score >= 11/15 AND has test fixture AND has computed.json (if conditional sections exist in source)
Workflow
When running the audit:
- Read
content/recipes/QUALITY_TRACKER.md for current state
- Run Tier 1 checks (always possible)
- Run Tier 2 checks if source document is available (use
ensureSourceDocx())
- Run Tier 3 checks if a test fixture exists
- Compute scorecard and maturity tier
- Output the scorecard as JSON
- Update the quality tracker if requested
Implementation Notes
- Use
validateRecipeMetadata() from src/core/metadata.ts for S2
- Use
ensureSourceDocx() from src/core/recipe/downloader.ts for B1-B4
- Use
runRecipe() from src/core/recipe/index.ts for F1-F4
- Bracket pattern detection uses
\[[_A-Z] prefix to avoid counting citations and legal references
- Zero-match keys come from
PatchResult.zeroMatchKeys returned by the patcher
- Cross-reference zero-match keys with
cleanConfig.removeRanges and cleanConfig.removeParagraphPatterns to suppress expected zero-matches
