ken-audit skillA
ken-audit is agent-read markdown (skill) from rajnandan1/ken: Whole-repo audit for Thompson-mode violations. Like ken-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to rewrite, delete, or take back into the trusted base. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for rot", "what should be rewritten in this repo", "find the rot", "ken-audit", or "/ken-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
ken-review, repo-wide. Scan the whole tree instead of a diff. Rank findings biggest rewrite payoff first. ## Tags Same as ken-review: - `rot:` unit patched past rot; next fix is a rewrite. Name the rewrite's shape. - `layer:` wrapper/adapter/manager adding no decision. Delete, move callers down. - `unvouched:` dependency or pasted code nobody can explain. Read it or replace it. - `fancy:` clever where the plain form wins at this scale. Name the brute-force form. - `ceremony:` process, abstraction, or config serving itself. Remove it. ## Hunt Files with the densest fix-commit history (rot lives where patches pile up: `git log --format= --name-only | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head`), wrappers that only delegate, dependencies used for one call, hand-rolled cleverness at small n, translate-only layers between the caller and the work, config nobody sets. ## Output One line per finding, ranked: `<tag> <what>. <the move>. [path]`. End with `net: -<N> lines, -<M> layers, trusted base -<K> deps possible.` Nothing to flag: `Sound. Ship it.` ## Boundaries Scope: Thompson-mode method violations only. Correctness bugs, security …

How to install
mdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-audit@git:20260826.e88374fmdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-audit@sha256:9500f7a24bbc5b70Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
