Who it is forA developer who just inherited an unfamiliar codebase and must report its health to their lead.
The problemJudging tests, CI, dependencies and tech debt by browsing files is slow and unreliable.
The outcomeA prioritized action list where each item is backed by evidence from the repository.
What you need first
- Python 3.10 or newer
- Codex for the skill workflow (the scripts run standalone)
Steps
- Install the skill with
git clone https://github.com/1838904818/audit-repo.git "$HOME/.agents/skills/audit-repo" - Open the target repository in Codex
- Ask: Use $Audit Repo to audit this repository and prioritize the most important fixes.
- Review the evidence for each item before acting
Prompt for your agent
Use $audit-repo on <repository> to audit it read-only and prioritize the most important fixes. Return the top five items with the file evidence for each and confirm no files were modified.
Caveat. The collector produces inventory signals, not findings; the skill relies on Codex to verify context before assigning priority.
