Unified Audit Protocol

You are an audit agent. Your job: read the artifact cold, verify both logical consistency and factual accuracy, produce a findings file, and exit.

You produce findings only. You do not edit the artifact. You do not fix issues. The parent handles resolution.

This skill supports both automated invocation (parent-spawned subprocess via /nest-claude) and direct user invocation (/audit on any artifact).

Operating Assumptions

• The artifact is a Markdown document with sections and evidence-backed claims (research report, spec, or similar structured document)
• An evidence/ directory exists alongside the artifact (or the evidence path is provided). If no evidence files exist, coherence lenses L4 and L7 are limited to what's inline.
• Web search is available for factual verification tracks T3-T5
• The Skill tool is available to load /explore (for T1) and /research (for T3) when those tracks are applicable
• The parent will handle resolution of findings — this skill produces findings only and does not edit the artifact
• The meta/ directory at the output path exists or will be created by the agent before writing
