Use for cold-start, time-boxed, multi-axis audits of unfamiliar codebases — take-home assessments, post-acquisition or due-diligence reviews, pre-refactor tech-debt sweeps. Dispatches the auditor subagent for the broad sweep, optionally fans out to security-auditor / debugger on top findings (only when --depth=deep), and renders ranked findings with reasoning chains and counter-evidence fields.

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

# Workflow: Codebase Audit (cold-start multi-domain sweep)

**Announce at start:** "Activating `swe-workbench:workflow-codebase-audit` to run the cold-start audit sweep."

## When to invoke

- Take-home or technical assessment requiring a broad codebase review.
- Post-acquisition or due-diligence review of an unfamiliar repo.
- Inherited-service onboarding: "I just took ownership of this, what's the state of it?"
- Pre-refactor tech-debt sweep across a monorepo or service.

## When NOT to invoke

- Single-domain security audit → use `swe-workbench:security-auditor` directly (depth-first, OWASP-focused).
- Known bug with a repro → use `/swe-workbench:debug` (root-cause + fix lifecycle).
- PR diff review → use `/swe-workbench:review` or `swe-workbench:workflow-pr-review`.
- Code already familiar; you know what to look for → run targeted tools directly.

## Composition

This skill orchestrates; domain analysis is delegated to:

- `swe-workbench:auditor` subagent — broad multi-domain sweep (security, perf, reliability, tooling, testing, dead-code).
- `swe-workbench:security-auditor` subagent — depth-first CVE + threat review; **deep mode only**, top-N security findings.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lugassawan/swe-workbench/workflow-codebase-audit@sha256:9aad1468f842ac8d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.a1463b5, 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.
