What it does

Audit is an agent skill from jdpolasky/ai-chief-of-staff. Periodic integrity check. Reads memory, skills, vault state. Reports redundant rules, stale memories, broken links, drifted skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Productivity & Automation. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: The original AI Chief of Staff built on Claude Code and Obsidian. ADHD prosthetic, open to anyone. Superseded by chief-of-staff-2. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Redundant or contradictory memory
  2. Stale memory
  3. Index drift
  4. Broken links
  5. Skill drift
  6. Decay analysis (gated)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 832b784. 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.

    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 loads about 638 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 351 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~638

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.

description
Periodic integrity check. Reads memory, skills, vault state. Reports redundant rules, stale memories, broken links, drifted skills.
user_invocable
true

Periodic integrity check. Run roughly every 7 sessions, or whenever the briefing surfaces an audit-due flag.

This is a read-mostly skill. Its job is to surface findings as a report. The user picks which fixes to make.

Read

In parallel:

  1. .claude/memory/MEMORY.md and every file it points at.
  2. Every SKILL.md under .claude/skills/.
  3. Command Center.md and To-Do.md from the vault.
  4. _system/memory_firings.log.

Checklist

Walk through these in order. For each, return findings with concrete file paths and line references where applicable.

1. Redundant or contradictory memory

Are any two memory files saying the same thing? Are any two saying contradictory things? List candidates for merging or reconciliation.

2. Stale memory

Read each memory file's description frontmatter against the actual contents. Does the description still describe what's in the file? Flag mismatches.

For project-type memories: do the projects still exist and look active? Closed-project memories should be moved or marked.

3. Index drift

Does MEMORY.md list every file in .claude/memory/? Is every file in the index actually present? Flag both directions of drift.

Scan memory files and skills for wikilinks ([[...]]) and markdown links ([...](...)) pointing at vault files. Flag any whose target doesn't exist.

Show full SKILL.md (155 more words)Show less
5. Skill drift

For each SKILL.md, does the skill's described behavior match what CLAUDE.md, the docs, and the vault templates actually support? A common drift: a skill references a file or pattern that has since been renamed or removed.

6. Decay analysis (gated)

Read _system/memory_firings.log. Count distinct session numbers. If under 10, skip this section with a short note: "Decay analysis is gated until the firings log holds 10 distinct sessions. Currently at N. Skipping."

If 10 or more, surface memory files that have not fired in the most recent 5 sessions. Don't recommend deletion. Surface for the user to review.

Report format

Return findings as a numbered list grouped by checklist section. For each finding: what's wrong, where it lives, a one-line proposed fix. Don't make any of the fixes. The user picks.

End the report with a one-line state summary: total memory files, total skills, last audit-counter value, decay-analysis status (gated or live).
