Where can I view the history of my audits?

All audit results are written to a persistent log located at .claude/audit/output-styles.md, which can be viewed using the /audit-log command.

What specific frontmatter fields are required?

The auditor checks for 'name' and 'description' in the YAML frontmatter, and also recognizes the 'keep-coding-instructions' field.

What file formats does this skill support for output styles?

This skill exclusively validates .md files. It will flag and warn you if it finds .json files, as Claude Code output styles must be in Markdown format.

What does the --skip-validation flag do?

The --skip-validation flag bypasses the secondary validation agent, making the audit faster but potentially including false positives in the final report.

Can I audit specific directories instead of everything?

Yes, you can use arguments like 'plugin', 'project', or 'user' to narrow the audit scope to specific directories.
