description: Audit or catch up repository SSOT against commits, conversation sessions, or SSOT protocol versions. Use when the user asks to sync/catch up/audit SSOT, when tracked_commit/tracked_session/tracked_skill_version is behind, or when ssot-preflight detects protocol-version lag. Do not use for routine per-change closeout.

# SSOT Audit

- You are on a deliberate catch-up: commits, sessions, or protocol versions

- have drifted ahead of what `SSOT/` records, and you have been routed here

- to close that gap — not to do new work. Pick the one drift signal that

- applies and read only its catch-up procedure.

- Segment large diffs and long transcripts before reading. Loading the full

- backlog into one context is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent.

- Waterline advancement must follow

- `../ssot-preflight/references/status-protocol.md §6` and the upgrade router

- in `references/protocol-upgrades.md`. Record an explicit review before

- advancing `tracked_commit`, `tracked_session`, or `tracked_skill_version`; use

- an independent `$ssot-doctor` stop review only for the §6 exceptions,

- including `semantic_impact=high` protocol upgrades. `semantic_impact=none`,

- `low`, and `medium` protocol upgrades may be self-reviewed when their checklist

- is recorded.

- ## Scan the wide window

- Run the large-window two-stream scan; closeout sees one batch, you see

- many, so cross-batch incident concentration and apex/authority drift

- only become visible here. Emit zero or more move blocks beside each

- rule at its new location, using the schema and five self-check questions

- in `../ssot-closeout/references/promotion-rationale.md`. Any move with

- `from: apex` or `to: apex` goes through `$ssot-doctor` stop review;

- moves that do not touch apex do not.

- When this skill runs inside the SSOT-SKILL bundle repo, also harvest each

- consumer's `## Pending Captures` rows with `status: deferred-export` and relay

- them into `references/protocol-upgrades.md` `## Bundle Captures`.

- If the transcript is lost, park a CAP- row with `signal_source: transcript`,

- `status: deferred` so the gap stays durable.

- ## Load on demand

- | Drift signal | Read |

- |---|---|

- | `tracked_commit` behind HEAD, or user asks commit sync | `references/commit-audit.md` |

- | User asks conversation / session transcript catch-up | `references/conversation-audit.md` |

- | `tracked_skill_version` behind `ssot-preflight` protocol version | `references/protocol-upgrades.md` router, then `references/current-upgrade.md` or `references/archive/index.md` as directed |

- | Bundle-side inbox lookup during protocol-upgrades cadence | `references/protocol-upgrades.md` `## Bundle Captures` |

- | Audit produced SSOT edits and you need write mechanics | `../ssot-closeout/references/update-routing.md` |

- | Stop-review / health verification of the audit result | `../ssot-doctor/references/doctor.md` |

+ Close one drift signal at a time; do not mix catch-up with new work. Segment

+ large inputs before loading them. Read

+ [`commit-audit.md`](references/commit-audit.md),

+ [`conversation-audit.md`](references/conversation-audit.md), or

+ [`protocol-upgrades.md`](references/protocol-upgrades.md) for the matching

+ signal. Before SSOT writes, follow closeout routing and

+ [`reader-quality.md`](../ssot-preflight/references/reader-quality.md); stop

+ only after the applicable Doctor review.
