audit-activation
Reports whether OrchestKit's specialized sub-agents are actually being activated, from real spawn telemetry — not vibes. The agent-side analogue of audit-skills (which audits skill quality; this audits agent activation).
It answers: "Do my specialized agents get spawned, or does the model default to generic Explore/general-purpose?" Read-only — it never edits agents.
Why this exists: a 2026-06 audit found only ~14% of agent spawns hit the 37-agent catalog vs ~74% generic, with 17/37 agents dormant — and that agents fire ~1:1 with how often a high-traffic skill names them via
subagent_type=. Description rewrites ("use proactively") were A/B-tested and gave Δ0, so this skill measures wiring + usage, not description prose. Seedocs/feat--activation-audit/.
