What it does

Audit is an agent skill from pricklywiggles/niamos. Scan this Obsidian vault for content that's drifted from the conventions in CLAUDE.md (status↔folder drift, missing required fields, naming violations, stale active items, frontmatter health issues, orphan wikilinks). Produces a categorized report and offers per-finding fix actions — never auto-bulk-fixes. Use this skill whenever the user says any of: "audit the vault", "audit", "what's broken", "check for issues", "validate the vault", "run a checkup", "find inconsistencies", "any drift?", "lint the vault", "fix…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/categories.md` and `scripts/audit.py`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Agent instruction files. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Obsidian productivity system and second brain.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says any of: audit the vault
  • Check for issues
  • Validate the vault
  • Find inconsistencies

Example prompts

  • “audit the vault”
  • “s broken”
  • “check for issues”
  • “/audit”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine scope
  2. Run the scan
  3. Format the report
  4. Offer per-finding fix actions (only if user asks)
  5. Close

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af657ba. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 209 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~209
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 558 words (~1,402 tokens).

“Scan this Obsidian vault for drift from the CLAUDE.md schema. The scanning is bundled in scripts/audit.py — a read-only Python script that walks the vault, parses frontmatter, runs each check, and prints a structured JSON report. This skill's job is…”
