What its author says it does

Audit Codex skills for DRYness, brevity, trigger quality, progressive disclosure, and unnecessary duplication of always-loaded or tool-provided guidance. Use when the user asks to review, trim, tighten, de-duplicate, or improve one or more skills, especially when deciding what belongs in SKILL.md versus nearby references, scripts, or assets.

Audit Skills
Primary lens: Review.
Goal
Review skills as compact operating guides, not mini handbooks.
Bias hard toward brevity. Keep only wording that changes behavior, routing, or risk.
Workflow
-
Scope first.
- Identify the skill or skill set to review.
- Read only the targeted
SKILL.mdfiles and directly relevant nearby resources.
-
Load the checklist after the scope is clear.
- Read references/audit-checklist.md.
- Use only the sections that match the current audit.
-
Audit for trigger quality.
- Description says what the skill does and when to use it.
- Invocation is not broader than the workflow.
-
Audit for DRYness and context discipline.
- Repeated always-loaded rules.
- Repo guidance that belongs in repo docs.
- Duplicated text across
SKILL.md,references/, and scripts.
-
Audit for brevity first, not style polish.
- Cut filler, throat-clearing, duplicated framing, and obvious statements.
- Prefer short bullets or fragments when clear.
-
Audit for progressive disclosure.
- Keep core workflow guidance in
SKILL.md. - Move details, examples, and checklists to nearby
references/. - Move repeatable deterministic work to
scripts/instead of spending tokens on long instructions.
- Keep core workflow guidance in
-
Verify before calling something redundant.
- Point to where the duplicated guidance already lives.
- Do not assume a rule is always loaded.
-
Edit or report.
- If the task includes fixes, make focused edits.
- Prefer deletion over rewriting, and rewriting over expansion.
- If the skill is already concise and useful, say
no change needed.
Output
- the skills reviewed
- findings ordered by impact
- file paths that support each finding
- whether each issue is trigger drift, repeated always-loaded guidance, repeated repo guidance, over-verbose body content, misplaced detail that should move to
references/orscripts/, duplication, or template residue - a final conclusion: fix now, defer with rationale, or no change needed
Do Not
- Do not manufacture low-value findings.
- Do not preserve full sentences just because they read better.
- Do not create cosmetic edits to avoid an empty audit.
