Overview
What This Skill Does
A structured analysis skill for the pre-audit phase of code review. It guides Claude through line-by-line function analysis, cross-boundary call tracing, and invariant mapping before any vulnerability hunting begins. The output is a stable, evidence-based mental model of how the system actually works.
Application
When to use this Skill
- Configuring integration settings for custom agent workflows.
- Optimizing query execution and response latency in production.
- Developing clean, standard-compliant implementations for enterprise services.
- Troubleshooting connection timeouts and authentication handshakes.
- Monitoring API rate limits and execution pipelines programmatically.

Audit Context Building
Build deep architectural context through ultra-granular code analysis before vulnerability hunting.
Author: Omar Inuwa
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Develop deep comprehension of a codebase before security auditing
- Build bottom-up understanding instead of high-level guessing
- Reduce hallucinations and context loss during complex analysis
- Prepare for threat modeling or architecture review
What It Does
This skill governs how Claude thinks during the context-building phase of an audit. When active, Claude will:
- Perform line-by-line / block-by-block code analysis
- Apply First Principles, 5 Whys, and 5 Hows at micro scale
- Build and maintain a stable, explicit mental model
- Identify invariants, assumptions, flows, and reasoning hazards
- Track cross-function and external call flows with full context propagation
