What it does

Audit Plan is an agent skill from danielvm-git/bigpowers. Evaluate an incoming project plan against bigpowers principles and conventions, surface gaps, and produce a READY/NOT READY verdict before engagement begins. Use when a new project arrives, when adapting a foreign plan, or before running seed-conventions on an unfamiliar codebase.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills synthesizing years of software engineering discipline into a prescriptive methodology for solo developers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A new project arrives
  • Adapting a foreign plan
  • Before running seed-conventions on an unfamiliar codebase

Example prompts

  • “/audit-plan”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Principles alignment
  2. Conventions completeness
  3. Bigpowers pre-flight (must all be answered before build)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 812d57a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Audit Plan loads about 880 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 306 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~880

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.

Audit Plan

HARD GATE — Do NOT start build skills (kickoff-branch, develop-tdd) until audit-plan returns a READY verdict. A plan missing test commands, scope boundaries, or success criteria will produce drift and rework downstream.

Assess an incoming project plan for alignment with bigpowers principles, identify what's missing, and produce a structured readiness report before any skill execution begins.

Three lenses

1. Principles alignment
  • Are stories vertical slices (not horizontal layers)?
  • Is scope bounded — explicit in_scope + out_of_scope?
  • Are success criteria defined (how do we know we're done)?
  • Are HARD GATE candidates identifiable (critical decision points)?
  • Is there a domain language / ubiquitous terminology?
2. Conventions completeness
  • Does CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md exist?
  • Does CONVENTIONS.md exist?
  • Is the specs/ directory layout in place?
  • Are commit conventions documented (Conventional Commits)?
  • Is the git workflow mode identified (solo-git | team-pr)?
3. Bigpowers pre-flight (must all be answered before build)
QuestionWhy
What is the test command?develop-tdd verify steps require it
What is the build command?verify-work mechanical gate
What is the lint command?audit-code lint gate
What is the typecheck command?verify-work typecheck gate
What CI platform is in use?wire-ci configuration
Solo or team?release-branch integration mode
Primary language + framework?model routing + conventions
Greenfield or existing codebase?determines whether to run seed-conventions or migrate-spec first

Process

  1. Ingest the plan — accept a file path, pasted PRD text, or existing specs/ artifacts. Read CLAUDE.md and CONVENTIONS.md if present.

  2. Score each lens — for every item above, mark:

    • ✅ Present and adequate
    • ⚠️ Present but incomplete — note what's missing
    • ❌ Absent
  3. Close gaps conversationally — for each ❌ or ⚠️, ask one question at a time. Record each answer before moving to the next.

  4. Write specs/PLAN-AUDIT_LATEST.md:

markdown
# Plan Audit — <project>
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD · **Verdict:** READY | NOT READY

## Principles Alignment
| Check | Status | Note |
| Vertical slices | ✅ | 4 stories, each shippable |
| Scope bounded | ⚠️ | in_scope present; out_of_scope missing |

## Conventions Completeness
| Check | Status | Note |

## Pre-flight Answers
| Command | Value |
| test | `npm test` |
| build | `npm run build` |

## Open Gaps
- [ ] Add out_of_scope to scope definition (run scope-work)
- [ ] Create CLAUDE.md (run seed-conventions)

## Verdict
READY — proceed with survey-context
NOT READY — N gaps remain; close before proceeding
  1. Recommend next skill:
    • READY → survey-context
    • Needs bootstrapping → seed-conventions
    • Needs spec elaboration → elaborate-spec
    • Has foreign spec format → migrate-spec
    • Plan assumptions need challenging → grill-me

Verify

→ verify: test -f specs/PLAN-AUDIT_LATEST.md && grep -q Verdict specs/PLAN-AUDIT_LATEST.md

Can I use Audit Plan in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add danielvm-git/bigpowers --skill audit-plan -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/audit-plan, .gemini/skills/audit-plan, .github/skills/audit-plan and .opencode/skills/audit-plan in your project.

What does Audit Plan need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Audit Plan is instructions for the agent only.

Does Audit Plan access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
