What it does

Red Handed Audit is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Check whether the tests the agent said passed actually ran. Reads the Claude Code session transcript and git state locally, then reports each gap with a timestamp and the quoted line. No model calls, nothing leaves the machine.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/red-handed-audit”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Runs npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest audit in the project directory
  2. The CLI reads the local Claude Code transcript and the git working tree
  3. Nine deterministic checks compare what was said with what was done
  4. Each finding comes with a timestamp and the quoted line it came from

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Red Handed Audit loads about 603 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~603

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.

Red-handed Audit

Audit the current session's claims against its own record. If the agent said the tests pass, this checks that a test run actually happened, that it did not fail, and that no expected value was quietly rewritten to match a bug.

When to Use This Skill

  • The agent reported passing tests and you want to confirm a run actually happened
  • A test suite got smaller and you want to know when and why
  • You are reviewing a finished session before trusting its summary

What This Skill Does

  1. Runs npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest audit in the project directory
  2. The CLI reads the local Claude Code transcript and the git working tree
  3. Nine deterministic checks compare what was said with what was done
  4. Each finding comes with a timestamp and the quoted line it came from

No model is called. The same session gives the same verdict every time.

How to Use

Basic Usage
Audit this session. Did the tests I was told about actually run?

The skill runs:

bash
npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest audit

Useful variations:

bash
npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest audit --all      # every session for this project
npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest stats            # counts across the whole machine
npx --yes @jinhyuk9714/red-handed@latest audit --lang ko  # report in Korean

Example

User: "Before I merge this, check whether the tests really ran."

Output:

CAUGHT  claim-vs-fail
  14:02:31  "All 33 tests pass."
  14:01:58  npx vitest run … exit 1, 2 failed
  The last run before the claim failed. Nothing ran after it.

A clean session prints nothing to accuse. That is the common case.

Tips

  • CAUGHT needs two things at once: the session shows it happening and the code still shows it now
  • SUSPICIOUS means the pattern is there but the motive is not established
  • Verification the tool cannot read counts as verification it did not see, so browser tests and custom scripts only ever reach SUSPICIOUS
  • Exit code 1 means findings at the CAUGHT tier. That is the tool working, not an error
