kit

Use to audit a repo's `_meta/BACKLOG.md` Active queue against reality, "audit the backlog", "reconcile the board", "is the board still true", "dọn backlog", "rà soát backlog", or a scheduled backlog-reconcile run. NOT for filing new items onto the board, NOT for a single known-stale row (just fix it), NOT for the kit's own FEATURES/workflow-paths pair (topology-drift).

Use for the whole-estate CI audit, "audit the CI", "are the runners clean", "check the release pipeline", "ci drift", "stale workflows / secrets / runners", or a scheduled CI-audit cadence run. NOT for one failing run (/kit:debug), NOT for doc prose (doc-drift).

Use for the whole-estate doc audit, "run the doc-drift loop", "audit the docs against the code", "are the docs still true", "doc drift sweep", "check every doc claim", or a scheduled doc-audit cadence run. NOT for diff-scoped doc sync inside a build cycle (/kit:docs), NOT for dated records like specs, research, retros, NOT for one known-wrong doc (just fix it).

Use to audit the gauntlet records, "are the ROUNDS.md records honest", "verify the proof corpus", "check each run record against its evidence", "audit the gauntlet corpus", "is the gauntlet proof trustworthy", or a scheduled run. NOT for re-running probes or rounds (`/kit:gauntlet` itself), NOT for the corpus-level stats projection (`lib/gauntlet/stats.sh`), NOT for non-gauntlet records.

Fetch curated API documentation using Context Hub (chub) before coding against any external API. Use when the task involves calling a third-party API (Stripe, OpenAI, Airwallex, Notion, etc.) to prevent hallucinated parameters and deprecated endpoints.

Use to design or add a new bounded loop to the kit's SDLC orchestration ("let's build a loop", "design a new loop for the orchestrator", "loop engineering", "make this a bounded loop", "is this worth a loop"), or mentions of the Karpathy autoresearch or hill-climb loop. NOT for a one-off Stop-hook goal (goal-craft), NOT for the debug loop (/kit:debug), NOT for building the loop's code once agreed.

Use when auditing, consolidating, or cleaning a repo's .claude/memory store, "dọn memory", "memory tidy", the biweekly memory audit, duplicate or stale memory notes, MEMORY.md index drift, or a scheduled memory-tidy audit. NOT for the built-in machine-local auto-memory under ~/.claude/projects, NOT for editing a single note (just edit it).

Query and render the kit's control plane from an agent session. Use when asked about the fleet's runs, gate verdicts, conformance, spend/tokens/cache economics, the cognitive-debt score, replaying a recorded run, or building/refreshing the observability dashboard. Trigger phrases include "dashboard", "control plane", "how much did we spend", "token usage", "cognitive debt", "fleet stats".

Use for the whole-repo decay audit, "run the repo-hygiene loop", "what has rotted in this repo", "is anything mis-shelved", "dọn repo", or a scheduled cadence run. NOT for the machine surface outside a git repo (disk-reclaim), NOT for doc claims drifting from code (doc-drift), NOT for board rows (backlog-reconcile), NOT for one file you already know is stale (just move it).

Review and promote skill drafts that skill-curator staged from past sessions. Use when the user runs /skill-review, says "review my skill drafts", "promote a staged skill", or asks what skills the self-improvement loop proposed. Lists drafts under ~/.claude/skill-proposals/, runs the writing-skills quality bar on each, then promotes the approved ones into ~/.claude/skills/ or rejects them.

Query or render the state of the scattered kit/tide/tg-cleanup/learned ledgers, and detect + propose backlog rows off anomalies. Use when the operator asks to SEE ledger state -- "show me the ledger state", "my debt", "token cost" -- or to check/propose off it -- "any ledger anomalies". NOT for editing/mutating any ledger. NOT for ad-hoc SQL exploration. NOT a persistent TUI/app.

Maintainer-only. Use to audit THIS KIT's OWN feature estate against its path map, "run the topology-drift loop", "feature inventory drift". NOT for a consumer/adopter repo, NOT for a target project (/kit:feature-map), NOT for regenerating the registry, NOT for whole-doc prose drift (doc-drift), NOT for one known-missing feature.

Use for the live-website agent-readiness audit, "run the web-drift loop", "web drift sweep", "check the public sites", or a scheduled cadence run. NOT for docs/code in a checkout (doc-drift), NOT for CI/release state (ci-drift), NOT for the kit's feature registry (topology-drift), NOT for page-speed/Core Web Vitals, NOT for answer-engine citation, NOT for fixing a site (files rows only).
