$npx -y skills add minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards --skill audit-loopLightweight read-only audit. Use host-appropriate review coverage for evidence and findings. Iterate on disagreement or low confidence. No code changes.
| 1 | # Audit Loop |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Read-only audit with review coverage appropriate to the current host. No code changes. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Planning before implementation → use `plan-loop` instead. |
| 6 | Reviewing completed code changes → use `review-loop` instead. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ## Prerequisites |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Read `~/dev/agent-guards/AGENTS.md` before starting — the safety and workflow conventions that govern all agent work. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## How It Works |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 1. **Investigate** the question. Collect evidence (files, commands, source material). |
| 15 | 2. **Review** your findings per `references/review-protocol.md`. Spin up all review agents in parallel using the host-specific coverage rules. Pre-warm any deferred tools only when the selected host path actually needs them. |
| 16 | 3. **Iterate** if reviewers disagree, confidence is low, or key claims lack evidence. |
| 17 | 4. **Write a final verdict**: scope reviewed, evidence basis, findings, residual risks, next steps. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Every meaningful claim must cite specific files, commands, or source material. |

| 21 | ## Round Sizing |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Claude host: |
| 24 | - R1: 1 native + 1 Codex cross-model. |
| 25 | - R2+ only when triggered: confidence below 85, reviewer disagreement, or high-impact finding lacks evidence. Focus on previous round's findings and unresolved gaps — not a fresh re-review. |
| 26 | - Escalate to 3+1 for high-risk or persistent disagreement. |
| 27 | - Codex host: |
| 28 | - R1: 1-2 native reviewers only. |
| 29 | - R2+ only when triggered: confidence below 85, reviewer disagreement, or high-impact finding lacks evidence. Focus on previous round's findings and unresolved gaps — not a fresh re-review. |
| 30 | - Escalate to 3 native reviewers for high-risk or persistent disagreement. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Confidence |
| 33 | |
| 34 | After each round, assess confidence 0-100 with top unknowns and what evidence is still missing: |
| 35 | - Below 85: consider another round. |
| 36 | - 85+: eligible to close. |
