Internal codebase health audit — checks docs, skills, duplication, dead code, coding-guidelines, correctness, and tests for drift and real defects.

  • Works in 4 steps: Resolve scope and output dir → Run each area as a subagent → Write SUMMARY.md (full runs only) → …
  • Agent Workflows work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Arguments, Areas and truth sources and Instructions
  • Calls git and go

What it does

Health Audit is an agent skill from gittower/git-flow-next. Internal codebase health audit — checks docs, skills, duplication, dead code, coding-guidelines, correctness, and tests for drift and real defects. Runs all areas by default, or one named area. Writes per-area reports to .ai/health-audit-<date/.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: A modern reimplementation of git-flow in Go that offers greater flexibility while maintaining backward compatibility with the original git-flow and git-flow-avh.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/health-audit”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve scope and output dir
  2. Run each area as a subagent
  3. Write SUMMARY.md (full runs only)
  4. Report to user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00d1b4b. 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
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • go

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Health Audit loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,546 words (~3,239 tokens).

“Sanity-check the codebase for the drift that accumulates in an AI-maintained repo: docs falling out of sync with commands, skills referencing moved files, copy-paste helpers, guideline violations, test-convention drift. Each area is audited by an independent subagent grounded in its…”
