At a glance

A skill your agent uses when you have an existing pipeline DOT file that needs review, fixing, or validation.

  • Works in 7 steps: Read the DOT file → Run structural audit (see Structural… → If a spec/design doc exists, run spec… → …
  • You have an existing pipeline DOT file that needs review
  • SKILL.md covers Checklist, Structural Checks, Spec Reconciliation and Pipeline Validation, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Dotfile Audit is an agent skill from harperreed/dotfiles. Use when you have an existing pipeline DOT file that needs review, fixing, or validation. Use when validation produces warnings or errors, when a DOT file was hand-written or generated by another tool, or when you want to verify a pipeline covers 100% of a spec before running it.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.

When your agent uses it

  • You have an existing pipeline DOT file that needs review
  • Validation produces warnings
  • A DOT file was hand-written
  • Generated by another tool

Example prompts

  • “/dotfile-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the DOT file
  2. Run structural audit (see Structural Checks below)
  3. If a spec/design doc exists, run spec reconciliation (see Spec Reconciliation below)
  4. Run dotfile validate .dot — capture output
  5. Fix all errors and warnings
  6. Re-validate until clean (zero errors, zero warnings)
  7. Present summary of what was found and fixed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. 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 bash).

    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

Dotfile Audit loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 613 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 613 words (~1,533 tokens).

“Audit and fix pipeline DOT files. Catches structural issues, missing failure paths, spec gaps, and validation warnings.”
