Audit the complete ~/.dotfiles system for credential exposure, shell and Neovim startup regressions, broken Stow links, missing tools, and stale configuration. Use for whole-dotfiles health checks and triage; route focused Neovim work to neovim and focused terminal or shell edits to shell-env.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dotfiles Audit
Audit the repository in security-first order. The repository uses one GNU Stow package at `~/.dotfiles/home/`; its `README.md` and `dotfiles --help` are authoritative for current layout and commands.
## Step 0: Security scan
Search tracked files without printing credential values:
```sh
cd ~/.dotfiles
scan_redacted() {
local detector=$1 pattern=$2
git grep -nI -E "$pattern" -- ':(exclude)*.example' ':(exclude)*.md' 2>/dev/null |
while IFS=: read -r file line _; do
printf '%s:%s [%s; value redacted]\n' "$file" "$line" "$detector"
done
}
scan_redacted assignment '(API_KEY|ACCESS_KEY|TOKEN|SECRET|PASSWORD|PRIVATE_KEY)[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]{8,}'
scan_redacted token-prefix '(gh[pousr]_[A-Za-z0-9_]{20,}|sk-[A-Za-z0-9_-]{20,}|AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}|BEGIN[[:space:]].*PRIVATE KEY)'
```
Treat matches as candidates until placeholders and false positives are ruled out. Keep credential values out of command output and the report. If a live credential is tracked, record its redacted location, revoke or rotate it, remove it from the current tree, and assess Git-history cleanup.
Check local secret permissions without reading their contents:

How to install
mdr add kriscard/skills/audit@sha256:6f9a7c542351a3ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.08a0dc2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
