What it does

Skillshare Codebase Audit is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Cross-validate CLI flags, docs, tests, and targets for consistency across the codebase. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: audit the codebase, check for consistency issues, find undocumented flags, verify test coverage, validate targets.yaml, check handler split conventions, or verify oplog instrumentation. This is a read-only audit — it reports issues but never modifies files. Use after large refactors, before releases, or whenever you suspect docs/code/tests have drifted out of sync.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Testing & QA, covering Test coverage and Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to: audit the codebase
  • Check for consistency issues
  • Find undocumented flags
  • Verify test coverage

Example prompts

  • “/skillshare-codebase-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. CLI Flag Audit
  2. Spec vs Code
  3. Test Coverage
  4. Target Audit
  5. Handler Split Audit
  6. Oplog Coverage
  7. Web API Consistency

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. 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:

    • claude

    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

Skillshare Codebase Audit loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 436 words (~1,871 tokens).

“Read-only consistency audit across the skillshare codebase. $ARGUMENTS specifies focus area (e.g., "flags", "tests", "targets") or omit for full audit.”
