# Audit Agents/Skills/Commands Quality
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive quality audit for Claude Code agents, skills, and commands. Scores each file on weighted criteria with production readiness grading.
|
||||
|
||||
## Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
- `[path]` - Directory to audit (default: current project `.claude/`)
|
||||
- `--fix` - Generate fix suggestions for failing criteria
|
||||
- `--verbose` - Show details for all criteria (not just failures)
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
/audit-agents-skills # Audit current project
|
||||
/audit-agents-skills --fix # Audit + fix suggestions
|
||||
/audit-agents-skills ~/other-repo # Audit another project
|
||||
/audit-agents-skills --verbose # Full details for all criteria
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective**: Locate and classify all agents, skills, and commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Scan directories**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
.claude/agents/
|
||||
.claude/skills/
|
||||
.claude/commands/
|
||||
examples/agents/ (if exists)
|
||||
examples/skills/ (if exists)
|
||||
examples/commands/ (if exists)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Classify files**:
|
||||
- **Agent**: File in `agents/` directory with YAML frontmatter containing `tools:` field
|
||||
- **Skill**: File in `skills/` directory OR has `SKILL.md` name OR frontmatter with `allowed-tools:` field
|
||||
- **Command**: File in `commands/` directory with frontmatter containing `name:` and `description:`
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Display summary**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Found: X agents, Y skills, Z commands
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Audit Individual Files
|
||||
|
||||
Each file type is scored on **weighted criteria**. Maximum scores:
|
||||
- **Agents**: 32 points
|
||||
- **Skills**: 32 points
|
||||
- **Commands**: 20 points
|
||||
|
||||
### Agents (32 points max)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Identity (weight: 3x) - 12 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| Clear `name` field | 3 | Frontmatter YAML has `name:` field that's descriptive (not generic like "agent1") |
|
||||
| `description` with triggers | 3 | Description contains "when", "use", or "trigger" keywords indicating activation context |
|
||||
| `model` specified | 3 | Frontmatter has `model:` field (sonnet/haiku/opus) |
|
||||
| `tools` restricted appropriately | 3 | Tools list doesn't include Bash unless justified, or includes explanation for risky tools |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Identity determines **discoverability** and **activation**. If users can't locate or invoke the agent, downstream quality is irrelevant.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Prompt Quality (weight: 2x) - 8 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| Role defined | 2 | Contains "You are" or "Your role" statement defining agent persona |
|
||||
| Output format specified | 2 | Has section titled "Output", "Format", or "Deliverables" specifying expected structure |
|
||||
| Scope/limits defined | 2 | Has section defining scope, triggers, or when NOT to use the agent |
|
||||
| Anti-hallucination measures | 2 | Contains keywords: "verify", "cite", "source", "evidence", or warnings against hallucination |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Prompt quality determines **reliability** and **accuracy** of agent responses.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Validation (weight: 1x) - 4 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| 3+ usage examples | 1 | Has "Examples", "Usage", or "Scenarios" section with at least 3 distinct examples |
|
||||
| Edge cases documented | 1 | Mentions "edge case", "error", "failure", or "limitation" scenarios |
|
||||
| Integration documented | 1 | References other agents, skills, or tools it works with |
|
||||
| Error handling described | 1 | Mentions "fallback", "recovery", "error handling", or failure modes |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Validation ensures **robustness** through comprehensive testing scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Design (weight: 2x) - 8 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| Single responsibility | 2 | File size <5000 tokens AND description is focused (not "general purpose" or multiple verbs) |
|
||||
| No duplication | 2 | Description doesn't overlap significantly with other agents (>50% keyword similarity check) |
|
||||
| Composable (skills references) | 2 | References skills or other agents it can invoke, showing modularity |
|
||||
| Reasonable token budget | 2 | File size <8000 tokens (avoids context bloat) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Design patterns determine **maintainability** and **scalability** of agent architecture.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Skills (32 points max)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Structure (weight: 3x) - 12 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|
|
||||
| Valid SKILL.md or frontmatter | 3 | File named `SKILL.md` OR has YAML frontmatter with `name:` field |
|
||||
| `name` valid | 3 | Name is lowercase, 1-64 chars, matches pattern `[a-z0-9-]+` (no spaces/special chars) |
|
||||
| `description` non-empty | 3 | Description field exists and is >20 characters |
|
||||
| `allowed-tools` specified | 3 | Frontmatter has `allowed-tools:` field listing tool permissions |

||||
| Scripts have error handling | 1 | If bundled scripts exist, contain `set -e`, `trap`, or `|| exit` patterns |
|
||||
| No hardcoded paths | 1 | No absolute paths like `/Users/`, `/home/`, `C:\` in code or instructions |
|
||||
| No secrets | 1 | No keywords: "password", "secret", "token", "api_key", "credentials" in plaintext |
|
||||
| Dependencies documented | 1 | If external tools required, has "Requirements", "Dependencies", or "Prerequisites" section |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Technical hygiene prevents **portability issues** and **security risks**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Design (weight: 2x) - 8 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-----------|

||||
| Single responsibility | 2 | Description is focused on one domain (not "general" or multi-purpose) |
|
||||
| Clear triggers | 2 | Has section defining "When to use", "Triggers", or "Activation criteria" |
|
||||
| No overlap with other skills | 2 | Description doesn't duplicate >50% of keywords from other skills in project |
|
||||
| Portable | 2 | No Claude Code-specific extensions that break portability (check for custom APIs) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Design determines **findability** and **maintainability** across projects.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
| Step-by-step workflow | 3 | Body contains numbered sections (1., 2., 3.) or clear phase structure |
|
||||
| Usage examples | 3 | Has section titled "Usage", "Examples", or shows invocation patterns |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Structure determines **usability** and **learnability** for command users.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quality (weight: 2x) - 8 points
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Points | Detection |

## Phase 3: Scoring
|
||||
|
||||
### Individual File Score
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Score = (Points Obtained / Max Points) × 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: Agent scores 26/32 points → 81% score
|
||||
|
||||
### Grade Assignment
|
||||
|
||||
| Grade | Score Range | Status |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|--------|

| C | 70-79% | Needs improvement 🔧 |
|
||||
| D | 60-69% | Significant gaps ⚠️ |
|
||||
| F | <60% | Critical issues ❌ |
|
||||
|
||||
**Production Threshold**: 80% (Grade B or higher)
|
||||
|
||||
### Overall Project Score
|
||||
|
||||
Weighted average by file type:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Overall = (Σ Agent Scores × Agent Count + Σ Skill Scores × Skill Count + Σ Command Scores × Command Count) / Total Files
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations (Prioritized)
|
||||
|
||||
### High Priority (Critical for production)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add error handling to 8 files**
|
||||
- Files: [list]
|
||||
- Action: Add error handling sections, define fallback behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Remove hardcoded paths from 5 files**
|
||||
- Files: [list]
|
||||
- Action: Replace with `$HOME`, relative paths, or env vars
|
||||
|
||||
### Medium Priority (Improves quality)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add usage examples to 4 files**
|
||||
- Files: [list]
|
||||
- Action: Create "Examples" section with 3+ scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Define output formats in 3 files**

|
||||
- Action: Specify deliverable structure (Markdown/JSON/report)
|
||||
|
||||
### Low Priority (Polish)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Add integration docs to 2 files**
|
||||
- Files: [list]
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Review failures: Focus on Grade D/F files first
|
||||
2. Run with `--fix` for automated suggestions
|
||||
3. Re-audit after improvements to track progress
|
||||
4. Aim for 80%+ (Grade B) across all files for production readiness
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 5: Fix Mode (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trigger**: `--fix` flag
|
||||
|
||||
For each failing criterion, generate specific fix suggestion:
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Fix Suggestions
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `agent-name.md`
|
||||
**Issue**: Missing anti-hallucination measures (2 pts lost)
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Fix**:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Add this section after the "Methodology" section:
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Verification
|
||||
|
||||
- Always cite sources for factual claims
|
||||
- Use phrases like "According to [source]..." or "Based on [documentation]..."
|
||||
- If uncertain, explicitly state "I don't have verified information on..."
|
||||
- Never invent statistics, version numbers, or API details
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File**: `skill-debugging/scripts/analyze.sh`
|
||||
**Issue**: No error handling (1 pt lost)
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Fix**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Add to top of script:
|
||||
|
||||
set -e # Exit on error
|
||||
trap 'echo "Error on line $LINENO"' ERR
|
||||
|
||||
# Replace risky commands:
|
||||
curl https://api.example.com # ❌ No error check
|
||||
curl https://api.example.com || { # ✅ Error handled
|
||||
echo "API call failed"
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Verbose Mode (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trigger**: `--verbose` flag
|
||||
|
||||
By default, report shows only **failed criteria**. Verbose mode shows **all criteria** with pass/fail status:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### All Criteria (Verbose)
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Status | Points | Notes |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Clear name | ✅ Pass | 3/3 | Name is "debugging-specialist" (descriptive) |
|
||||
| Description with triggers | ✅ Pass | 3/3 | Contains "Use when debugging..." |
|
||||
| Model specified | ❌ Fail | 0/3 | No `model:` field in frontmatter |
|
||||
| Tools restricted | ⚠️ Partial | 2/3 | Includes Bash but no justification |
|
||||
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Industry Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Source**: LangChain Agent Report 2026 (verified)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Statistics**:
|
||||
- 29.5% of organizations deploy agents without systematic evaluation
|
||||
- 18% cite "agent bugs" as their top challenge
|
||||
- Only 12% use automated quality checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Implication**: This audit addresses a **real industry gap**. Most teams deploy agents/skills without validation, leading to production issues. The 80% threshold (Grade B) aligns with industry best practices for production readiness.
|
||||
|
||||
**Comparison**: Manual checklists (like the Guide's Agent Validation Checklist on line 4921) are comprehensive but error-prone. Automated scoring reduces human error and provides quantitative metrics for tracking improvements over time.

## Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Detection Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontmatter Parsing**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import re
|
||||
yaml_match = re.search(r'^---\n(.*?)\n---', content, re.DOTALL)
|
||||
if yaml_match:
|
||||
import yaml
|
||||
frontmatter = yaml.safe_load(yaml_match.group(1))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Keyword Detection** (case-insensitive):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
has_trigger = any(word in description.lower() for word in ['when', 'use', 'trigger'])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Token Counting** (approximate):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
tokens = len(content.split()) * 1.3 # Rough estimate: 1 token ≈ 0.75 words
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Overlap Detection
|
||||
|
||||
Compare descriptions using Jaccard similarity:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def jaccard_similarity(desc1, desc2):
|
||||
words1 = set(desc1.lower().split())
|
||||
words2 = set(desc2.lower().split())
|
||||
intersection = words1 & words2
|
||||
union = words1 | words2
|
||||
return len(intersection) / len(union) if union else 0
|
||||
|
||||
# Flag if similarity > 0.5 (50% keyword overlap)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Grade Color Coding (Terminal Output)
|
||||
|
||||

# Audit Agents/Skills/Commands (Advanced Skill)
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive quality audit system for Claude Code agents, skills, and commands. Provides quantitative scoring, comparative analysis, and production readiness grading based on industry best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Manual validation of agents/skills is error-prone and inconsistent. According to the LangChain Agent Report 2026, 29.5% of organizations deploy agents without systematic evaluation, leading to "agent bugs" as the top challenge (18% of teams).
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Automated quality scoring across 16 weighted criteria with production readiness thresholds (80% = Grade B minimum for production deployment).
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features**:
|
||||
- Quantitative scoring (32 points for agents/skills, 20 for commands)
|
||||
- Weighted criteria (Identity 3x, Prompt 2x, Validation 1x, Design 2x)
|
||||
- Production readiness grading (A-F scale with 80% threshold)
|
||||
- Comparative analysis vs reference templates
|
||||
- JSON/Markdown dual output for programmatic integration
|
||||
- Fix suggestions for failing criteria
|
||||

|
||||
## Modes
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Usage | Output |
|
||||
|------|-------|--------|
|
||||
| **Quick Audit** | Top-5 critical criteria only | Fast pass/fail (3-5 min for 20 files) |
|
||||
| **Full Audit** | All 16 criteria per file | Detailed scores + recommendations (10-15 min) |
|
||||
| **Comparative** | Full + benchmark vs templates | Analysis + gap identification (15-20 min) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Default**: Full Audit (recommended for first run)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Methodology
|
||||
|
||||
### Why These Criteria?
|
||||
|
||||
The 16-criteria framework is derived from:
|
||||
1. **Claude Code Best Practices** (Ultimate Guide line 4921: Agent Validation Checklist)
|
||||
2. **Industry Data** (LangChain Agent Report 2026: evaluation gaps)
|
||||
3. **Production Failures** (Community feedback on hardcoded paths, missing error handling)
|
||||
4. **Composition Patterns** (Skills should reference other skills, agents should be modular)
|
||||
|
||||
### Scoring Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
**Weight Rationale**:
|
||||
- **Identity (3x)**: If users can't find/invoke the agent, quality is irrelevant (discoverability > quality)
|
||||
- **Prompt (2x)**: Determines reliability and accuracy of outputs
|
||||
- **Validation (1x)**: Improves robustness but is secondary to core functionality
|
||||
- **Design (2x)**: Impacts long-term maintainability and scalability
|
||||
|
||||
**Grade Standards**:
|
||||
- **A (90-100%)**: Production-ready, minimal risk
|
||||
- **B (80-89%)**: Good, meets production threshold
|
||||
- **C (70-79%)**: Needs improvement before production
|
||||
- **D (60-69%)**: Significant gaps, not production-ready
|
||||
- **F (<60%)**: Critical issues, requires major refactoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Industry Alignment**: The 80% threshold aligns with software engineering best practices for production deployment (e.g., code coverage >80%, security scan pass rates).

|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Scan directories**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
.claude/agents/
|
||||
.claude/skills/
|
||||
.claude/commands/
|
||||
examples/agents/ (if exists)
|
||||
examples/skills/ (if exists)
|
||||
examples/commands/ (if exists)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Classify files** by type (agent/skill/command)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Load reference templates** (for Comparative mode):
|
||||
```
|
||||
guide/examples/agents/ (benchmark files)
|
||||
guide/examples/skills/ (benchmark files)
|
||||
guide/examples/commands/ (benchmark files)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Scoring Engine
|
||||
|
||||
Load scoring criteria from `scoring/criteria.yaml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
agents:
|
||||
max_points: 32
|
||||
categories:
|
||||
identity:
|
||||
weight: 3
|
||||
criteria:
|
||||
- id: A1.1
|
||||
name: "Clear name"
|
||||
points: 3
|
||||
detection: "frontmatter.name exists and is descriptive"
|
||||
# ... (16 total criteria)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each file:
|
||||
1. Parse frontmatter (YAML)
|
||||
2. Extract content sections
|
||||
3. Run detection patterns (regex, keyword search)
|
||||
4. Calculate score: `(points / max_points) × 100`
|
||||
5. Assign grade (A-F)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Comparative Analysis (Comparative Mode Only)
|
||||
|
||||
For each project file:
|
||||
1. Find closest matching template (by description similarity)
|
||||
2. Compare scores per criterion
|
||||
3. Identify gaps: `template_score - project_score`
|
||||
4. Flag significant gaps (>10 points difference)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Project file: .claude/agents/debugging-specialist.md (Score: 78%, Grade C)
|
||||
Closest template: examples/agents/debugging-specialist.md (Score: 94%, Grade A)
|
||||
|
||||
Gaps:
|
||||
- Anti-hallucination measures: -2 points (template has, project missing)
|
||||
- Edge cases documented: -1 point (template has 5 examples, project has 1)
|
||||
- Integration documented: -1 point (template references 3 skills, project none)
|
||||
|
||||
Total gap: 16 points (explains C vs A difference)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Report Generation
|
||||
|
||||
**Markdown Report** (`audit-report.md`):
|
||||
- Summary table (overall + by type)
|
||||
- Individual scores with top issues
|
||||
- Detailed breakdown per file (collapsible)
|
||||
- Prioritized recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
**JSON Output** (`audit-report.json`):
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"metadata": {
|
||||
"project_path": "/path/to/project",
|
||||
"audit_date": "2026-02-07",
|
||||
"mode": "full",
|
||||
"version": "1.0.0"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"summary": {
|
||||
"overall_score": 82.5,
|
||||
"overall_grade": "B",
|
||||
"total_files": 15,
|
||||
"production_ready_count": 10,
|

|
||||
},
|
||||
"files": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": ".claude/agents/debugging-specialist.md",
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
"points_obtained": 25,
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "A2.4",
|
||||
"name": "Anti-hallucination measures",
|
||||
"points_lost": 2,
|
||||
"recommendation": "Add section on source verification"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"top_issues": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"issue": "Missing error handling",
|

|
||||
"priority": "high"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Fix Suggestions (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
For each failing criterion, generate **actionable fix**:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### File: .claude/agents/debugging-specialist.md
|
||||
**Issue**: Missing anti-hallucination measures (2 points lost)
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**:
|
||||
Add this section after "Methodology":
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Verification
|
||||
|
||||
- Always cite sources for technical claims
|
||||
- Use phrases: "According to [documentation]...", "Based on [tool output]..."
|
||||
- If uncertain, state: "I don't have verified information on..."
|
||||
- Never invent: statistics, version numbers, API signatures, stack traces
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection**: Grep for keywords: "verify", "cite", "source", "evidence"
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Detection Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontmatter Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import yaml
|
||||
import re
|
||||
|
||||
def parse_frontmatter(content):
|
||||
match = re.search(r'^---\n(.*?)\n---', content, re.DOTALL)
|
||||
if match:
|
||||
return yaml.safe_load(match.group(1))
|
||||
return None
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyword Detection
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def has_keywords(text, keywords):
|
||||
text_lower = text.lower()
|
||||
return any(kw in text_lower for kw in keywords)
|
||||
|
||||
# Example
|
||||
has_trigger = has_keywords(description, ['when', 'use', 'trigger'])
|
||||
has_error_handling = has_keywords(content, ['error', 'failure', 'fallback'])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Overlap Detection (Duplication Check)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def jaccard_similarity(text1, text2):
|
||||
words1 = set(text1.lower().split())
|
||||
words2 = set(text2.lower().split())
|
||||
intersection = words1 & words2
|
||||
union = words1 | words2
|
||||
return len(intersection) / len(union) if union else 0
|
||||
|
||||
# Flag if similarity > 0.5 (50% keyword overlap)
|
||||
if jaccard_similarity(desc1, desc2) > 0.5:
|
||||
issues.append("High overlap with another file")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Counting (Approximate)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def estimate_tokens(text):
|
||||
# Rough estimate: 1 token ≈ 0.75 words
|
||||
word_count = len(text.split())
|
||||
return int(word_count * 1.3)
|
||||
|
||||
# Check budget
|
||||
tokens = estimate_tokens(file_content)
|
||||
if tokens > 5000:
|
||||
issues.append("File too large (>5K tokens)")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Industry Context
|
||||
|
||||
**Source**: LangChain Agent Report 2026 (public report, page 14-22)
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Findings**:
|
||||
- **29.5%** of organizations deploy agents without systematic evaluation
|
||||
- **18%** cite "agent bugs" as their primary challenge
|
||||
- **Only 12%** use automated quality checks (88% manual or none)
|
||||
- **43%** report difficulty maintaining agent quality over time
|
||||
- **Top issues**: Hallucinations (31%), poor error handling (28%), unclear triggers (22%)
|
||||
|
||||
**Implications**:
|
||||
1. **Automation gap**: Most teams rely on manual checklists (error-prone at scale)
|
||||
2. **Quality debt**: Agents deployed without validation accumulate technical debt
|
||||
3. **Maintenance burden**: 43% struggle with quality over time (no tracking system)
|
||||
|
||||
**This skill addresses**:
|
||||
- Automation: Replaces manual checklists with quantitative scoring
|
||||
- Tracking: JSON output enables trend analysis over time
|
||||
- Standards: 80% threshold provides clear production gate
|
||||

detection: "mentions API version or compatibility"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Version bump: Increment `version` in frontmatter when criteria change.
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding File Types
|
||||
|
||||
To support new file types (e.g., "workflows"):
|
||||
1. Add to `scoring/criteria.yaml`:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
workflows:
|
||||
max_points: 24
|
||||
categories: [...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. Update detection logic (file path patterns)
|
||||
3. Update report templates
