# Agent-Native Architecture Audit

Conduct a comprehensive review of the codebase against agent-native architecture principles, launching parallel sub-agents for each principle and producing a scored report.

This is an internal helper skill, not a public `spec-*` workflow entrypoint. It must not be invoked through public workflow routing unless an upstream workflow explicitly delegates this audit as a bounded helper task.

## Core Principles to Audit

Use the canonical taxonomy from `skills/agent-native-architecture/SKILL.md` as the source spine for these audit lenses. The eight audit labels below are audit-specific adapters; do not treat them as a second canonical taxonomy.

Adapter map:
- **Action Parity** maps to **Action parity**.
- **Tools as Primitives** maps to **Primitive tools**.
- **Context Injection** maps to **Context injection**.
- **Shared Workspace** maps to **Shared workspace**.
- **CRUD Completeness** maps to **Action parity** and **Primitive tools** for complete entity outcomes.
- **UI Integration** maps to **Shared workspace**.
- **Capability Discovery** maps to **Context injection** and **Prompt-native features**.
- **Prompt-Native Features** maps to **Prompt-native features**.

1. **Action Parity** - "Whatever the user can do, the agent can do"
2. **Tools as Primitives** - "Tools provide capability, not behavior"
3. **Context Injection** - "System prompt includes dynamic context about app state"
4. **Shared Workspace** - "Agent and user work in the same data space"
5. **CRUD Completeness** - "Every entity has full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)"
6. **UI Integration** - "Agent actions immediately reflected in UI"
7. **Capability Discovery** - "Users can discover what the agent can do"
8. **Prompt-Native Features** - "Features are prompts defining outcomes, not code"

## Workflow

### Step 1: Load the Agent-Native Source Context

First, read `skills/agent-native-architecture/SKILL.md` and the relevant `skills/agent-native-architecture/references/` files as source context. `agent-native-architecture` is an internal helper/reference, not a public workflow command.

When this audit needs the action parity reference path, read `skills/agent-native-architecture/references/action-parity-discipline.md` directly instead of depending on a numbered intake-menu option.

### Step 2: Launch Parallel Sub-Agents

Launch 8 parallel sub-agents when the host exposes a dispatch primitive. Use the platform's subagent primitive (`Agent` with `subagent_type: Explore` in Claude Code or `spawn_agent` with `agent_type: "explorer"` in Codex), one for each principle. If dispatch is unavailable, explicitly disabled, or unsafe, run the eight principle audits sequentially in the current agent and state that sequential fallback in the report.

Sub-agents are read-only explorers. They inspect code and return findings; the orchestrator owns the final scored report. Keep parallelism bounded to these eight principles and do not spawn additional nested agents from leaf audits. Each agent should:

1. Enumerate ALL instances in the codebase (user actions, tools, contexts, data stores, etc.)
2. Check compliance against the principle
3. Provide a SPECIFIC SCORE like "X out of Y (percentage%)"
4. List specific gaps and recommendations

<sub-agents>

**Agent 1: Action Parity**
```
Audit for ACTION PARITY - "Whatever the user can do, the agent can do."

Tasks:
1. Enumerate ALL user actions in frontend (API calls, button clicks, form submissions)
   - Search for API service files, fetch calls, form handlers
   - Check routes and components for user interactions
2. Check which have corresponding agent tools
   - Search for agent tool definitions
   - Map user actions to agent capabilities
3. Score: "Agent can do X out of Y user actions"

Format:
## Action Parity Audit
### User Actions Found
| Action | Location | Agent Tool | Status |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Missing Agent Tools
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 2: Tools as Primitives**
```
Audit for TOOLS AS PRIMITIVES - "Tools provide capability, not behavior."

Tasks:
1. Find and read ALL agent tool files
2. Classify each as:
   - PRIMITIVE (good): read, write, store, list - enables capability without business logic
   - WORKFLOW (bad): encodes business logic, makes decisions, orchestrates steps
3. Score: "X out of Y tools are proper primitives"

Format:
## Tools as Primitives Audit
### Tool Analysis
| Tool | File | Type | Reasoning |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Problematic Tools (workflows that should be primitives)
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 3: Context Injection**
```
Audit for CONTEXT INJECTION - "System prompt includes dynamic context about app state"

Tasks:
1. Find context injection code (search for "context", "system prompt", "inject")
2. Read agent prompts and system messages
3. Enumerate what IS injected vs what SHOULD be:
   - Available resources (files, drafts, documents)
   - User preferences/settings
   - Recent activity
   - Available capabilities listed
   - Session history
   - Workspace state

Format:
## Context Injection Audit
### Context Types Analysis
| Context Type | Injected? | Location | Notes |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Missing Context
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 4: Shared Workspace**
```
Audit for SHARED WORKSPACE - "Agent and user work in the same data space"

Tasks:
1. Identify all data stores/tables/models
2. Check if agents read/write to SAME tables or separate ones
3. Look for sandbox isolation anti-pattern (agent has separate data space)

Format:
## Shared Workspace Audit
### Data Store Analysis
| Data Store | User Access | Agent Access | Shared? |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Isolated Data (anti-pattern)
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 5: CRUD Completeness**
```
Audit for CRUD COMPLETENESS - "Every entity has full CRUD"

Tasks:
1. Identify all entities/models in the codebase
2. For each entity, check if agent tools exist for:
   - Create
   - Read
   - Update
   - Delete
3. Score per entity and overall

Format:
## CRUD Completeness Audit
### Entity CRUD Analysis
| Entity | Create | Read | Update | Delete | Score |
### Overall Score: X/Y entities with full CRUD (percentage%)
### Incomplete Entities (list missing operations)
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 6: UI Integration**
```
Audit for UI INTEGRATION - "Agent actions immediately reflected in UI"

Tasks:
1. Check how agent writes/changes propagate to frontend
2. Look for:
   - Streaming updates (SSE, WebSocket)
   - Polling mechanisms
   - Shared state/services
   - Event buses
   - File watching
3. Identify "silent actions" anti-pattern (agent changes state but UI doesn't update)

Format:
## UI Integration Audit
### Agent Action → UI Update Analysis
| Agent Action | UI Mechanism | Immediate? | Notes |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Silent Actions (anti-pattern)
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 7: Capability Discovery**
```
Audit for CAPABILITY DISCOVERY - "Users can discover what the agent can do"

Tasks:
1. Check for these 7 discovery mechanisms:
   - Onboarding flow showing agent capabilities
   - Help documentation
   - Capability hints in UI
   - Agent self-describes in responses
   - Suggested prompts/actions
   - Empty state guidance
   - Slash commands (/help, /tools)
2. Score against 7 mechanisms

Format:
## Capability Discovery Audit
### Discovery Mechanism Analysis
| Mechanism | Exists? | Location | Quality |
### Score: X/7 (percentage%)
### Missing Discovery
### Recommendations
```

**Agent 8: Prompt-Native Features**
```
Audit for PROMPT-NATIVE FEATURES - "Features are prompts defining outcomes, not code"

Tasks:
1. Read all agent prompts
2. Classify each feature/behavior as defined in:
   - PROMPT (good): outcomes defined in natural language
   - CODE (bad): business logic hardcoded
3. Check if behavior changes require prompt edit vs code change

Format:
## Prompt-Native Features Audit
### Feature Definition Analysis
| Feature | Defined In | Type | Notes |
### Score: X/Y (percentage%)
### Code-Defined Features (anti-pattern)
### Recommendations
```
