# /health:agentic-audit

Scan all plugin skills, commands, and agents for CLI output optimization opportunities. Checks for missing Agentic Optimizations tables, bare CLI commands without compact flags, and stale review dates.

Standards reference: `.claude/rules/agentic-optimization.md` and `.claude/rules/skill-quality.md`.

## When to Use This Skill

| Use this skill when... | Use another approach when... |
|------------------------|------------------------------|
| Auditing skills for agentic optimization compliance | General plugin audit (use `/health:audit`) |
| Finding missing Agentic Optimizations tables | Comprehensive environment check (use `/health:check`) |
| Reviewing CLI command patterns in skills | Plugin registry issues (use `/health:plugins`) |
| Quality-checking skill documentation | Manual skill review preferred |
| Batch-updating skill quality standards | Single skill needs updating |

## Context

- Plugin root: !`pwd`
- Skill files: !`find . -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md' 2>/dev/null`
- Skill files (all): !`find . \( -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md' \) 2>/dev/null`
- Agent files: !`find . -path '*/agents/*.md' -not -name 'README.md' 2>/dev/null`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `--fix` | Add skeleton Agentic Optimizations tables to flagged skills and update `modified` dates |
| `--verbose` | Show all scanned files and detailed pattern matching results |

## Execution

Execute this agentic output audit:

### Step 1: Discover all plugin content files

Find all skills, commands, and agents in the codebase:

1. Scan for skills: `find . -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md'`
2. Scan for all skill variants: `find . \( -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md' \)`
3. Scan for agents: `find . -path '*/agents/*.md' -not -name 'README.md'`

Classify each file by type (skill, command, agent) for the report.

### Step 2: Check each skill for Agentic Optimizations tables

For each **skill** file:

1. Search for a heading matching `## Agentic Optimization` (with or without trailing "s")
2. Search for bash/shell code blocks (`` ```bash `` or `` ```sh ``)
3. Flag skills that have bash code blocks but lack the Agentic Optimizations table

Skip skills without any bash code blocks (informational skills). Note them in verbose mode.

### Step 3: Scan for bare CLI commands missing compact flags

Read execution and context sections of all files. Match commands against the bare CLI patterns in [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md).

Search for these patterns inside fenced code blocks and backtick context commands (`!` backtick syntax).

### Step 4: Check frontmatter dates for staleness

For each file, extract the `modified` date from YAML frontmatter:

1. Parse `modified: YYYY-MM-DD` from the first 20 lines
2. Calculate days since modification
3. Flag files where `modified` is older than 90 days as stale

### Step 5: Generate the audit report

Output a structured markdown report with these sections:

1. **Missing Agentic Optimizations Tables** — list skills with bash blocks but no table
2. **Bare CLI Commands** — list commands missing optimization flags with file, line, command, and suggested fix
3. **Context Section Issues** — context commands using cat or verbose output
4. **Stale Reviews (>90 days)** — files with outdated `modified` dates
5. **Summary** — total counts for skills/commands/agents scanned and issues found

If `--verbose`: also list all scanned files with their status (pass/fail per check).

### Step 6: Apply fixes (if --fix)

When `--fix` is passed:

1. Add skeleton Agentic Optimizations tables to flagged skills (insert before the last heading or at end of file). Use the skeleton template from [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md). Leave TODO entries for the user to fill in.
2. Update `modified` date in frontmatter of each modified file to today's date
3. Report which files were modified and what was added

Prompt the user to fill in the TODO entries with actual optimized commands.

## Pattern Detection Details

### Code Block Detection

Match fenced code blocks to identify CLI tools:

```
```bash
<command>
```
```

And inline backtick commands in context sections:

```
- Label: !`<command>`
```

### Frontmatter Extraction

Use the standard extraction pattern:
```bash
head -20 "$file" | grep -m1 "^modified:" | sed 's/^[^:]*:[[:space:]]*//'
```

## Agentic Optimizations

| Context | Command |
|---------|---------|
| Agentic audit scan | `/health:agentic-audit` |
| Audit with auto-fix | `/health:agentic-audit --fix` |
| Verbose output | `/health:agentic-audit --verbose` |
| Find all skill files | `find . \( -name 'SKILL.md' -o -name 'skill.md' \) 2>/dev/null` |
| Check for Agentic Optimizations table | `grep -l "## Agentic Optimizations" $(find . -name 'SKILL.md') 2>/dev/null` |

Overview

This skill audits skills and agents for agentic output optimization and CLI best practices. It detects missing Agentic Optimizations tables, bare CLI commands lacking compact/JSON flags, and stale review dates. It can produce a structured report and optionally insert skeleton optimization tables and update modified dates when run with --fix.

How this skill works

The auditor scans the codebase for skill and agent files, classifies each file, and inspects frontmatter, fenced shell code blocks, and inline backtick commands. It flags skills that include bash/sh examples but lack an Agentic Optimizations table, identifies bare CLI commands missing compact or JSON flags, and marks files with modified dates older than 90 days. When run with --fix it inserts templated Agentic Optimizations tables and updates modified dates, then reports the changes.

When to use it

  • When auditing skills for agentic optimization compliance before release
  • When you need to find missing Agentic Optimizations guidance in skill docs
  • When reviewing CLI usage patterns to enforce compact/JSON flags
  • Before batch-updating skill quality or running automated optimizations
  • When you want to identify documentation with stale review dates

Best practices

  • Include an Agentic Optimizations table for any skill that shows bash/sh examples
  • Prefer compact or --json flags for machine-consumable CLI output in examples
  • Keep modified dates current; re-run audits every 90 days to avoid staleness
  • Use the --verbose flag to see detailed matches and file-level statuses
  • Use --fix to add skeleton tables but always fill TODO entries with validated commands

Example use cases

  • Run a scan to list all skills that expose bare CLI commands so you can add --json flags
  • Generate a report of stale documentation files that need review before a release
  • Auto-insert Agentic Optimizations skeletons into flagged skill files for a docs sprint
  • Validate a pull request by checking new agents and skills for optimization and date freshness
  • Create a summary of CLI patterns across the plugin set to drive a standards update

FAQ

What does the --fix flag change?

It inserts a skeleton Agentic Optimizations table into flagged files and updates the modified date in frontmatter; TODO entries remain for manual completion.

How does the skill detect bare CLI commands?

It scans fenced bash/sh code blocks and inline backtick commands, matching known bare CLI patterns and suggesting compact/JSON flag fixes.
