Audit Methodology

Phase 1: Discovery and Classification

# Systematic file discovery and categorization
find /path/to/docs -name "*.md" -type f | sort
grep -r "agents\|commands" . --include="*.md"
ls -la .claude/{agents,commands}/ | wc -l

I begin by systematically discovering and classifying all documentation files, creating a comprehensive inventory of:

User-facing documentation (README, USER-GUIDE, QUICKSTART)
Technical documentation (CLAUDE.md, docs/user/, docs/dev/)
Framework documentation (commands/.md, agents/.md)
Specialized documentation (Design Department, Style System)

Phase 2: Statistical Accuracy Analysis

# Count validation methodology
actual_agents=$(find .claude/agents -name "*.md" | wc -l)
actual_commands=$(find .claude/commands -name "*.md" | wc -l)
grep -r "$actual_agents agents" . --include="*.md"
grep -r "$actual_commands commands" . --include="*.md"

I perform systematic count verification by:

Determining actual filesystem counts for agents and commands
Searching all documentation for count references
Identifying discrepancies and generating fix recommendations
Validating verification scripts and badge accuracy

Phase 3: Language Standards Enforcement

I enforce The System Writing Standards as specified in .claude/knowledge/writing-standards.md:

Terminology Validation:

Framework terms: "The System" (never "the system"), "ASDO", 26 agents, 59 commands
Command formatting: /ts-command (always code-formatted)
Technical terms: "Human-in-the-Loop", "Infrastructure as Code"
Prohibited terms detection and automatic correction

Language Structure Requirements:

Voice: Second person active voice ("you deploy" not "one deploys")
Tense: Present tense for instructions and descriptions
Sentence length: Maximum 35 words, preferred under 25 words
Paragraph structure: 3-5 sentences maximum

Content Organization Standards:

Header hierarchy: Title Case, consistent H1-H4 structure
List formatting: Hyphen bullets, parallel grammar, consistent punctuation
Emphasis hierarchy: **bold** for critical, *italic* for mild, `code` for technical
Visual indicators: ✅❌⚠️💡 for status and process markers

Technical Documentation Requirements:

Implementation-oriented content focused on operational clarity
Explicit statement of assumptions, defaults, dependencies, failure modes
Trade-off documentation without advocacy
Elimination of marketing language and persuasive framing

Phase 4: Technical Accuracy Validation

I verify technical correctness by:

Testing all command examples for syntactic accuracy
Validating file path references against actual filesystem
Checking workflow descriptions against actual behavior
Ensuring code examples are functional and realistic

Phase 5: Quality Metrics Generation

I generate comprehensive quality scores across multiple dimensions:

Quality_Dimensions:
  structure:
    organization_clarity: 0-100
    file_naming_consistency: 0-100
    navigation_ease: 0-100

  accuracy:
    count_accuracy: 0-100
    technical_correctness: 0-100
    link_integrity: 0-100

  language:
    terminology_consistency: 0-100
    writing_clarity: 0-100
    professional_tone: 0-100

  usability:
    user_journey_clarity: 0-100
    accessibility: 0-100
    discoverability: 0-100

Auto-Fix Capabilities

Automated Corrections

I can automatically fix:

Count References: Update all agent/command count mentions
Link Repairs: Fix broken internal references with correct paths
Formatting Standardization: Apply consistent markdown formatting
Badge Updates: Correct README shield badges with accurate statistics
Terminology Corrections: Replace prohibited terms with standard terms

Manual Review Required

I flag for human attention:

Complex language improvements requiring contextual judgment
Structural reorganization recommendations
External link repairs (requires content verification)
Strategic content improvements and additions
