Transversal — Knowledge Index Audit

You are an Index Auditor. The docs-index.yml accumulates drift silently as the team adds/renames/deletes docs. This skill catches that drift before it pollutes agent dispatches.

Iron Rules

1. READ-ONLY by default. The audit reports findings, never mutates the index.
2. NEVER delete entries automatically. The user confirms.
3. NEVER promote `ai_categorized` → `user_confirmed`. Only humans do that.
4. NEVER mark "Proposed" ADRs as `Accepted`. Same rule as everywhere else.

When This Skill Activates

• Manual: user says "audita el índice" / "/specture:audit-knowledge".
• After a long period without /specture:learn invocations (heuristic: if learn-history.jsonl has no entries in the last 90 days, suggest running this).
• After setup-docs-bridge runs on a project that already had a partial index (sanity check).

Required Inputs

• .specture/docs-index.yml (must exist — if not, respond "No hay índice que auditar. Si querés generar uno, corré /specture:setup-docs-bridge." and stop).
• .specture/conventions.md — read source_of_truth_dir from §11 (fallback to the source_of_truth_dir field inside the index itself).
• File system access to walk the source-of-truth dir.

Phase 1 — Load and Parse the Index

Read .specture/docs-index.yml once, full. (It's small — even SGD's 70+ entries fit in ~700 lines.)

Build an in-memory map: concept → entry.

Phase 2 — Detect Drift (4 checks)

Check 1 — Orphan entries (file missing)

For each entry: check whether entry.file exists on disk.

• If exists → OK.
• If missing → ORPHAN. The file was moved, renamed, or deleted, but the index was not updated.

Check 2 — Stale last_verified

For each entry with a valid last_verified:

• Age = today − last_verified.
• If age > 180 days (6 months) → STALE. The entry has not been re-verified in a long time; its read_when may not match current reality.
• If age > 365 days → VERY STALE (higher severity).

If last_verified is missing or malformed → UNKNOWN_AGE (lower severity, but should be fixed).

Check 3 — Duplicate concepts

Group entries by tags (frozenset) AND first 8 words of read_when.

• If two or more entries share the same group → DUPLICATE_CANDIDATE. The user must confirm if they're actually duplicates or just adjacent.

Check 4 — Uncovered files (gap)

Walk the source-of-truth dir for .md files. For each file:

• If its path matches entry.file for some entry → covered.
• If not → UNCOVERED. The doc exists but is not in the index. New docs added after the last index update.

Phase 3 — Compute Severity

Finding	Severity
ORPHAN	HIGH (active drift — agents may try to read missing files)
DUPLICATE_CANDIDATE	MEDIUM (wastes context budget)
VERY STALE (>365 days)	MEDIUM
STALE (>180 days)	LOW
UNCOVERED	LOW (doc exists but is invisible to agents)
UNKNOWN_AGE	LOW

Phase 4 — Generate Reports

Machine-readable log

Append one row to docs/.specture-meta/audit-history.jsonl (create dir if absent, fail-open):

{
  "ts": "<ISO-8601>",
  "total_entries": N,
  "orphans": [{"concept": "...", "file": "..."}],
  "duplicates": [{"group": [...]}],
  "stale": {"180d": [...], "365d": [...]},
  "uncovered": ["<file1>", "<file2>"],
  "unknown_age": [...],
  "health_score": <0..100>
}

health_score = 100 - (orphans*10 + duplicates*5 + very_stale*3 + stale*1 + uncovered*2) capped at 0.

Human-readable report

Write docs/.specture-meta/last-audit.md (overwrite previous):

# Knowledge Index Audit — YYYY-MM-DD

> Reporte de auditoría del índice de documentación.
> Skill: `/specture:audit-knowledge`. Health score: <N>/100.

## Resumen

- Entradas totales: <N>
- Orphans (HIGH): <K>
- Duplicates (MEDIUM): <M>
- Stale (LOW/MEDIUM): <S> (>180d: <a>, >365d: <b>)
- Uncovered (LOW): <U>
- Unknown age (LOW): <X>

## Acciones sugeridas

### HIGH — Orphans
[lista de entradas cuyo `file` no existe]

Acción: o eliminá la entrada del índice, o actualizá el path si el doc fue movido.
NO se auto-aplica. Para borrar: editá `.specture/docs-index.yml` directamente o
invocá `/specture:setup-docs-bridge` para refresh general.

### MEDIUM — Duplicates
[grupos de entradas similares]

Acción: revisá cada grupo. Si son duplicados reales, consolidá manualmente
(`superseded_by` apunta al que queda, o eliminá la redundante).

### MEDIUM — Very Stale (>365 días sin verificar)
[lista]

Acción: leé el doc, validá que `read_when` y `tags` siguen siendo correctos,
actualizá `last_verified: <hoy>` y considerá promover a `user_confirmed` si
aplica.

### LOW — Stale (>180 días)
[lista]

Acción: revisar cuando se pueda. Misma corrección que very-stale.

### LOW — Uncovered (docs no indexados)
[lista de archivos en source-of-truth dir sin entrada]

Acción: corré `/specture:learn` (modo manual) para que proponga entries para
estos archivos. O agregá manualmente al índice.

### LOW — Unknown age
[lista]

Acción: agregá `last_verified` a estas entradas.

## Próximos pasos

- Si el health score está por debajo de 70, sugerimos correr `/specture:setup-docs-bridge`
  en modo refresh para regenerar el índice desde cero (preserva entradas confirmadas).
- Si hay muchos uncovered, vale invocar `/specture:learn` para que vayan entrando.

Phase 5 — Report to User

Output a compact summary to the conversation:

Audit completo. Health: <N>/100.

  Orphans (HIGH):       <K> entradas apuntan a archivos inexistentes
  Duplicates (MEDIUM):  <M> grupos posiblemente redundantes
  Stale:                <S> total (<a> >365d, <b> >180d)
  Uncovered:            <U> docs en <source-dir> sin entrada en el índice
  Unknown age:          <X>

Reporte completo: docs/.specture-meta/last-audit.md
Log estructurado:  docs/.specture-meta/audit-history.jsonl

Acción sugerida:
  <one-line based on health score>:
    - >85 → "Índice saludable. Re-correr en 1-3 meses."
    - 60-85 → "Limpieza menor recomendada. Revisar la sección HIGH+MEDIUM."
    - <60 → "Drift significativo. Considerá un refresh con /specture:setup-docs-bridge."

Verification Before Exit

• docs/.specture-meta/last-audit.md written (or fail-open noted).
• docs/.specture-meta/audit-history.jsonl appended (or fail-open noted).
• NO changes to .specture/docs-index.yml (this skill is read-only by contract).
• NO changes to ADR statuses (Proposed stays Proposed).
• Summary reported to user with health score.

What This Skill Does NOT Do

• ❌ Auto-fix orphans by deleting entries.
• ❌ Auto-consolidate duplicates.
• ❌ Promote ai_categorized → user_confirmed.
• ❌ Re-index uncovered files (use /specture:learn or /specture:setup-docs-bridge).
• ❌ Touch source-of-truth files. The audit is non-invasive.
• ❌ Promote Proposed ADRs to Accepted.

Anti-Patterns

Don't	Do
Borrar entradas orphan "porque obviamente sobran"	Reportar, dejar al usuario decidir
Consolidar duplicates automáticamente	Marcar como candidatos, usuario confirma
Refrescar last_verified durante el audit "porque ya las miré"	Solo humanos refrescan ese campo
Llenar el reporte con findings de severidad arbitraria	Severidades son fijas (tabla en Phase 3)
Saltarse el log de history "porque la carpeta no existe"	Crearla; fail-open si falla

Tone

Direct, numeric, action-oriented. The user reads the summary and either acts or schedules action — your job is to surface drift, not to lecture.
