# Auditing Context
Automatically load active audit session data when the user is working in the context of a runtime audit.
## When to Use
Invoke this skill when the user:
- Is working on code that has pending audit injections
- Asks about audit findings or captured data
- Discusses runtime behavior verification
- References "the audit" or a specific audit ID
- Is making changes to audited code paths
- Asks about injected logs or cleanup status
## Instructions
### Step 1: Check for Active Audits
Read `docs/audits/registry.json` to find active audit sessions.
```json
{
"audits": [
{
"id": "auth-flow-001",
"status": "in-progress",
"name": "Login Flow Verification"
}
]
}
```
Filter for audits with `status: "in-progress"`.
### Step 2: Load Active Audit Context
For relevant audits, read:
```
docs/audits/[audit-id]/
├── session.json # Current phase, target description, questions
├── injections.json # Active injections in code
└── report.md # Findings (if analysis complete)
```
### Step 3: Check for Injected Code
If there are active injections:
1. Read `injections.json` to understand what's currently injected
2. Be aware of which files have audit instrumentation
3. Warn user if they're editing files with active injections
### Step 4: Use Context Naturally
Reference context when responding:
- **If injections are active**: Remind user of cleanup requirements
- **If discussing audited code**: Reference what was verified
- **If editing audited files**: Note any pending injections in that file
- **If asking about findings**: Reference the audit report
## Context Awareness Scenarios
### User Editing Injected File
```
Note: This file has active audit injections at lines 42, 67.
Consider running cleanup before making significant changes,
or be careful not to modify the AUDIT-INJECTED lines.
```
### User Asking About Behavior
```
The audit "auth-flow-001" verified this behavior:
- Credentials ARE validated before database query (confirmed)
- Session IS created after successful auth (confirmed)
Evidence captured in the audit report.
```
### User Forgot About Active Audit
```
Reminder: There's an active audit "auth-flow-001" with injections
in src/auth/login.ts. Status: awaiting runtime capture.
Would you like to:
1. Continue the audit capture
2. Run cleanup to remove injections
```
## Integration Notes
This skill works with:
- `/feature-audit` command - Provides context during audit workflow
- `/feature-troubleshoot` command - Can reference audit findings
- `runtime-auditor` agent - Shares context with audit operations
## Example
**User**: "Why is there a console.log in the login function?"
**Response** (after silently loading context):
```
That's an audit injection from the active "auth-flow-001" audit.
It was added to capture the user object at login entry. The audit
is currently in the "runtime-capture" phase, waiting for you to
trigger the login flow and capture the output.
You can:
1. Run the process to capture the logs
2. Run `/feature-audit` to continue the workflow
3. Jump to cleanup if you want to remove the injections
```
## Warning Triggers
Alert the user when:
1. **Editing injected files**: "This file has active audit injections"
2. **Long-running audit**: "Audit started [X hours ago], injections still active"
3. **Incomplete cleanup**: "Audit marked complete but injections may remain"
4. **Multiple active audits**: "Multiple audits active - specify which one"
## Status Interpretation
| Session Status | Meaning |
|----------------|---------|
| `in-progress` | Audit active, may have injections |
| `awaiting-capture` | Injections present, waiting for runtime |
| `analyzing` | Captured data being processed |
| `completed` | Audit finished, should be cleaned up |
Always check `injections.json` for actual injection state regardless of session status.
