Audits agentic products for tool parity, authority, approval payloads, recovery, and trust using 24 rules and a ship verdict. Use when asked for an "AX audit", to review an agent approval flow, or whether an agent can operate the product.

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

# AX Audit

Feature-level reviewer for apps where an agent acts for the user. One question: **does it earn trust, and where does it break?**

- **IS:** rules-based audit of agentic surfaces (chat, tool execution, config, dashboards) across architecture (`rules-arch/`) and trust (`rules-ax/`), ending in a ship-readiness verdict plus an AX Relationship Summary.
- **IS NOT:** traditional frontend UX (use `ui-design` Audit mode); developer-facing API, CLI, or type ergonomics (use `dx-audit`); public site or docs agent scores (use `agent-ready`); agent instruction files (use `agents-md`); what the product should do before it exists (use `product-design`).

No agentic features in scope? Stop. AX rules against forms and lists are noise.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/ax-audit@sha256:3f0d80d9012807d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.52dd41e, 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.
