Hk Slop Audit

What it does

When your agent uses it

• : audit the codebase

Example prompts

• “audit the codebase”
• “find slop”
• “hygiene check”
• “/hk-slop-audit”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Write, Task, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Map the project structure
2. 2Scan each category
3. 3Verify before reporting
4. 4Grade each finding

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87305cd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Edit
  • Write
  • Task
  • Grep
  • Glob

  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

Hk Slop Audit loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~86

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

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.

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.
