Audit

Cross-repo backlog review encoded as a repeatable 5-phase workflow. Replaces the manual process of scanning repos, reading briefs, checking codebase state, and deciding what to close.

Core principle: Verify against code, not briefs. A brief says what was planned. The codebase says what happened. Always check.

When to Use

• Monthly or fortnightly backlog review (GTD review cadence)
• After a burst of work across multiple repos
• When bon item count is growing and needs pruning
• When starting a new focus period — shed stale commitments first

When NOT to Use

• Single-repo triage — just read bon list directly
• Active session work — use bon draw-down instead
• First encounter with a repo's items — read briefs with bon show first
