What it does

Dr Audit Goal Trace is an agent skill from AHepi/DeepReason. Audit dimension - verify every ledgered operator design law is actually enforced somewhere in code or gates, so stated goals and shipped behavior cannot silently diverge. Invoked by dr-audit-orchestrator when goal-trace.md is missing.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/dr-audit-goal-trace”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Law census: extract every bolded law heading from CLAUDE.md
  2. For each law, three scans, outputs saved to proof/goal-.txt
  3. Verdict per law, exactly one of
  4. For every unenforced and partially-enforced row: PARK a prompt
  5. Write goal-trace.md: the table, a count line, and one closing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9607fba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dr Audit Goal Trace loads about 835 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~835

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Audit dimension - verify every ledgered operator design law is actually enforced somewhere in code or gates, so stated goals and shipped behavior cannot silently diverge. Invoked by dr-audit-orchestrator when goal-trace.md is missing.

Audit: operator goals vs enforcement

Entry: LEDGER.md exists, goal-trace.md missing. Exit: goal-trace.md written, one row per law, proofs in proof/.

The operator's goals live in two ledgers: CLAUDE.md §"Operator design laws" (standing, verbatim-quoted) and each tranche's REQUEST.md (per change). This worker traces the STANDING laws; a per-tranche trace is dr-validate-change's job, not this one.

A law counts as ENFORCED only when a mechanism would visibly fail if the law were violated — a test, a typed refusal/notice, a gate. Prose restating the law enforces nothing.

Operations

  1. Law census: extract every bolded law heading from CLAUDE.md §"Operator design laws" into proof/goal-laws.txt, one row each, with its date and verbatim kernel.
  2. For each law, three scans, outputs saved to proof/goal-<n>.txt: a. Mechanism scan: rg -l -i '<law key terms>' src/deepreason/ b. Test scan: rg -l -i '<law key terms>' tests/ c. Notice/refusal scan: rg -n '<law's typed string, if any>' src/
  3. Verdict per law, exactly one of:
    • enforced — row names the mechanism file AND the test that goes red on violation (both cited from the scans).
    • partially-enforced — mechanism exists, no test pins it; the row names which half is missing.
    • unenforced — scans empty; the law lives only in prose. The pasted empty scans are the proof (G2).
    • process-law — governs agent/operator behavior, not code (e.g. a working-style rule); code enforcement is not expected. Saying process-law requires one sentence naming WHO enforces it instead (the workflow file that carries it).
  4. For every unenforced and partially-enforced row: PARK a prompt proposing the smallest mechanism that would make violation visible (a regression test, a typed notice), route dr-change-orchestrator. Proposing is this worker's ceiling — choosing is the operator's.
  5. Write goal-trace.md: the table, a count line, and one closing list: laws added since the last audit (diff proof/goal-laws.txt against the previous audit tranche's copy, if one exists).

GATE

Pass: every law in proof/goal-laws.txt has exactly one verdict row; every enforced row cites file + test; every unenforced row cites empty scans. Verdict labels: enforced | partially-enforced | unenforced | process-law.

Activation plant (first run)

Add a fabricated law line to the copy in proof/goal-laws.txt; the scans must come back empty and the row must read unenforced. Remove the fabricated row, note the plant in ACTIVATION.md.

Outlets
