smith-audit

SpecKit Audit — Umbrella Command

Run a full-spectrum audit on a specific system or across all systems. This command orchestrates all sub-audits and produces a unified report.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Vault Logging

Throughout this action, log significant events to the vault session log. Read the session log path from .smith/vault/.current-session. If the file is missing or the vault is not initialized, skip all logging silently.

Append entries using this format:

### [HH:MM:SS] /smith-audit <event>

**User Request:**
> <verbatim user message that triggered this action>

**Synthesized Input:** <brief summary>
**Outcome:** <what happened>
**Findings:** <summary>
**Systems affected:** <system IDs>

Log at these points:

1. On invocation — which system(s) selected, full audit or specific sub-audit
2. After each sub-audit completes — sub-audit name, finding count by severity (critical/high/medium/low)
3. After unified report generated — path to report, total findings across all sub-audits
4. If action plan generated — count of remediation items by priority

System Selection

If $ARGUMENTS contains --all:

• Run audits across ALL systems (full-spectrum mode)
• Reports go to individual system folders + a global summary at specs/audits/<date>-full-spectrum.md
• Use subagents per system to manage context

If $ARGUMENTS contains a system identifier (e.g., system-15, command-center, 014):

• Match it to the correct system spec directory
• Run all sub-audits on that system only

If $ARGUMENTS is empty:

• Scan for all system spec directories:

  ls -d specs/system-*/spec.md specs/[0-9]*/spec.md 2>/dev/null
  

• Present a numbered list to the user:

  Which system would you like to audit?
  
  1. system-00-config-isolation
  2. system-01-core-infrastructure
  3. system-03-email-archive-contact-graph
  ...
  15. system-15-command-center
  
  Or type --all for a full-spectrum audit across all systems.
  

• Wait for user selection before proceeding.

System-to-Code Mapping

Each system audit needs to know which code directories and files belong to it. Determine this by:

1. Reading the system's spec.md — look for file paths, service names, directory references
2. Known mappings (from CLAUDE.md Architecture section):
   • system-00-config-isolation → docker-compose.yml, .env, scripts/
   • system-01-core-infrastructure → docker-compose.yml, scripts/, infrastructure configs
   • system-02-ai-models-layer → Ollama configs, model files
   • system-03-email-archive-contact-graph → services/email-pipeline/, Qdrant collections, Neo4j schemas
   • system-04-personal-voice → services/voice-training/
   • system-05-communication-triage → services/communication-triage/, services/command-center/routes/triage.js
   • system-06-communication-learning-loop → N8N workflows, training pipeline
   • system-09-meeting-intelligence → meeting-related services
   • system-10-social-listening → social signal services
   • system-13-trend-intelligence → trend analysis services
   • system-15-command-center → services/command-center/ (full frontend + Express backend)
3. Fallback: Grep the codebase for references to the system name/number

Documentation Sources

Every sub-audit MUST also review these documentation sources for the target system:

1. Session logs: docs/sessions/*.md — filter for sessions tagged with the system name/number. Check if decisions made in sessions are reflected in the current code.
2. System questions: specs/system-XX-*/questions.md — check for unanswered questions (blank **Answer:** fields). Flag as unresolved decisions.
3. Pre-implementation questions: specs/questions/*.md — check for questions related to the target system. Verify answered questions were implemented.
4. Feature specs: specs/[0-9]*-*/spec.md — check for feature specs that reference the target system. Verify those features are implemented.

Ledger Context (Optional)

If .smith/vault/ledger/ exists and contains non-empty files, load relevant Ledger sections to inform this audit. If the directory is missing, empty, or unreadable, skip silently — the Ledger is purely additive and never required.

1. Check: ls .smith/vault/ledger/*.md 2>/dev/null
2. If files exist, read the following sections (higher-confidence entries first, truncate at ~2000 tokens per file):
   • .smith/vault/ledger/patterns.md (audit-category entries)
   • .smith/vault/ledger/antipatterns.md
3. Use loaded patterns as additional context — look for known issues and successful approaches from past audits. The Ledger informs judgment, it does not override spec/plan/constitution.
4. Budget violation tracking: If any Ledger file was truncated (entries were dropped to fit within the ~2000 token budget per file), increment context_budget_violations in .smith/vault/ledger/.meta.json by 1. If .meta.json does not exist, create it from the default template first. This signal tells the reconciliation system that the Ledger is too large for the configured budget.

Sub-Audit Orchestration

For the selected system(s), launch sub-audits as subagents. Each sub-audit can run in parallel since they examine different aspects:

1. Requirements (smith-audit requirements) — spec ↔ code ↔ UI alignment
2. Code Quality (smith-audit codequality) — style, structure, complexity, duplication
3. Performance (smith-audit performance) — API efficiency, query optimization, rendering
4. Security (smith-audit security) — OWASP top 10, secrets, auth, dependencies
5. Accessibility (smith-audit accessibility) — WCAG, keyboard nav, screen readers
6. UX (smith-audit ux) — Playwright-driven UI testing, latency, responsiveness
7. Dependencies (smith-audit dependencies) — outdated packages, CVEs, unused deps
8. Infrastructure (smith-audit infrastructure) — Docker, health, configs, monitoring
9. Workflow (smith-audit workflow) — open PRs, unmerged branches, incomplete tasks, stale work
10. SEO (smith-audit seo) — Playwright-driven technical SEO audit via sitemap crawling (meta tags, headings, schema, performance, crawlability)
11. Feature (smith-audit feature) — End-to-end deep audit of a single feature: data flow tracing, concurrency/race condition analysis, data integrity spot-checks, error handling gaps, and real-world output validation. Includes user interview phase.

Report Generation

Per-System Report

After all sub-audits complete, generate a unified report at:

specs/system-XX-<name>/audits/<YYYY-MM-DD>-full.md

Structure:

# Audit Report: [System Name]

**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**System**: [system identifier]
**Auditor**: Claude Code (automated)

Full-Spectrum Report (--all mode)

Generate a global summary at:

specs/audits/<YYYY-MM-DD>-full-spectrum.md

With per-system scores and cross-system issues (e.g., inconsistent patterns between services, shared dependency conflicts).

PDF Report Generation

After the markdown report is written, generate a professional PDF version for client delivery.

Setup

1. Copy the canonical PDF generator into the audit output directory:

   cp ~/.claude/skills/smith/scripts/audit-pdf-generator.mjs specs/audits/audit-pdf-generator.mjs
   

2. Ensure puppeteer is installed:

   cd specs/audits && ls node_modules/puppeteer 2>/dev/null || (npm init -y --quiet 2>/dev/null && npm install puppeteer --save --quiet)
   

Execution

cd specs/audits && node audit-pdf-generator.mjs <YYYY-MM-DD>-full-spectrum.md

The script auto-detects the report type (full-spectrum, SEO, or sub-audit) from the H1 heading and generates appropriate cover page styling.

Output

The PDF is written alongside the markdown file (e.g., specs/audits/2026-03-30-full-spectrum.pdf). Mention both the .md and .pdf paths in the final output to the user.

Key Rules

• Always create the audits/ directory inside the system spec folder before writing reports
• Each sub-audit runs as a subagent to preserve context
• Sub-audits can run in parallel (they're read-only)
• Never modify code during an audit — audits are read-only and produce reports only
• Score each category 0-100 based on findings (critical = -20, warning = -5, info = -1)
• Flag any questions.md with unanswered questions as a documentation gap
