rules-auditor

Audit Claude Code rules and CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md files for staleness, quality, and drift. Use when asked to audit rules, check stale CLAUDE.md, check stale AGENTS.md, review rules freshness, assess rules quality, improve my rules, find dead globs in rules, check if rules are up to date, review progressive disclosure setup, find contradictory rules, or optimize Claude Code memory files.

Discovery

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines a specific niche (auditing Claude Code rules and memory files), provides comprehensive trigger terms that users would naturally use, and explicitly separates the 'what' from the 'when'. The description is well-structured, uses third person voice appropriately, and would be easily distinguishable from other skills in a large skill library.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: audit rules, check staleness, assess quality, detect drift, find dead globs, find contradictory rules, review progressive disclosure setup, and optimize memory files.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (audit Claude Code rules and CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md files for staleness, quality, and drift) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause with a comprehensive list of trigger scenarios).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'audit rules', 'stale CLAUDE.md', 'stale AGENTS.md', 'rules freshness', 'rules quality', 'improve my rules', 'dead globs', 'rules up to date', 'contradictory rules', 'Claude Code memory files'. These are highly natural phrases a user would actually type.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive niche focused specifically on auditing Claude Code rules and configuration files. The specific mentions of CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, dead globs, progressive disclosure, and rules staleness make it very unlikely to conflict with other skills.

Implementation

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill with clear workflows and concrete bash commands for every step. Its main weakness is moderate verbosity from repeated explanations (especially about AGENTS.md equivalence) and inline detail that could be offloaded to reference files. The reference navigation table is well-designed but the referenced files cannot be verified since no bundle was provided.

Suggestions

Remove the repeated explanation that AGENTS.md is identical to CLAUDE.md — state it once in the overview and trust Claude to remember it.

Consider moving the detailed audit steps (Steps 3-4: Code Pattern Verification and Convention Drift Detection) into a reference file to keep the main skill as a concise overview with the most critical steps inline.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Generally efficient but has some redundancy — the explanation that AGENTS.md is identical to CLAUDE.md is repeated three times (overview, discovery step 2 note, and step 5). Some sections like the freshness scoring table and structural verification could be tighter. However, most content earns its place.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, executable bash commands for every discovery and audit step — glob matching, frontmatter parsing, dead reference detection, and file discovery. The commands are copy-paste ready and specific to the task.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Excellent multi-step workflow with clear sequencing: discovery phase (4 steps) followed by audit phase (7 steps). Each step has a clear purpose, validation is built into the process (dead glob detection, referenced file verification, convention drift thresholds), and the freshness scoring provides explicit criteria for pass/fail decisions.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The reference navigation table clearly signals four separate reference files with descriptions, which is good structure. However, no bundle files were provided, so we cannot verify these references exist. The main SKILL.md itself is quite long (~120 lines of substantive content) and some of the detailed audit steps (like convention drift detection or code pattern verification) could potentially be offloaded to reference files to keep the overview leaner.
