What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Verifies canon status, naming compliance, frontmatter completeness, writing standards, and cross-reference validity across worldbuilding files. Use when checking naming consistency, verifying frontmatter, auditing prose standards, or when user says "canon audit", "check names", "verify frontmatter", "writing standards check", or "naming audit". Does NOT check physics equations — use /auditing-physics for that.

Auditing Canon
Verify naming, frontmatter, writing standards, and cross-references.
Prerequisites
Read CLAUDE.md for locked spellings, naming conventions, and writing rules.
Chain of Draft Mode
Name check. Human term found. Science dir. #### VIOLATION.
Frontmatter. status field missing. #### VIOLATION.
Spelling. Variant found. #### VIOLATION: use canonical form.
Cross-ref. Link resolves. #### PASS.
Checks
Naming
- In-universe terminology used correctly per directory type
- Locked spellings match CLAUDE.md table
Frontmatter
- Every file has YAML frontmatter: title, tags, status
- Status is one of: canon, draft, needs-review, superseded
Writing Standards (science files only)
- Academic third-person prose throughout
- No meta-commentary ("This section establishes...")
- No narrative content in science directories
- Citations use consistent format with ## References section
Cross-References
- All markdown links resolve to existing files
- GLOSSARY.md entries exist for key terms
Output
- STYLE — writing standard violation
- META — self-referential document language
- DRIFT — spelling or naming inconsistency
- ORPHAN — referenced entity has no file
- BROKEN-REF — link to nonexistent file
Do NOT fix anything. Report only.
Out of Scope
Does NOT check physics consistency or equations (use /auditing-physics). Does NOT treat cross-civilization differences as contradictions.
