Audit Checklist

Use this checklist for read-only audits of AGENTS.md and agent-docs/.

Did you classify each finding with the shared severity model?
Is the root AGENTS.md still the clear entrypoint?
Can a maintainer tell which document to read first for each common task?
Does any document act like a secondary router without enough reason?
Does each rule appear to have one authoritative home?
Does any inventory document contain policy language that should live in a rule doc?
Does any general-purpose agent-doc mix in project-specific business rules, product instructions, or end-user documentation?
Are authority-dependent rules missing source-of-truth anchors?
Are classification-heavy inventories missing classification authority anchors?
Do key workflow docs state their edge cases and failure modes clearly enough that an agent would not have to infer them?
Would typical user phrasing likely route to the correct skill and document path?
Are there residual cycles or cross-links that materially increase adherence cost?
Which findings are observed facts, and which are inferences about adherence risk?
If there are no concrete findings, what residual risks remain?
