Project Audit

Generated from workflows/modes/project-audit.md, the mode contract the HELIX skill loads. Edit that file, not this page.

Use on entry to a project with stale context to answer one question: where does this project stand? Are specs, implementation, tests, and acceptance criteria aligned, is the work complete, and what is the next safe action?

  1. Compose check with align: read governing artifacts, implementation evidence, and tests before reporting.
  2. Report per-layer alignment (specs↔implementation↔tests↔ACs) using the Align taxonomy.
  3. End with one recommended next mode and its evidence, in the _report.md shape.
  4. Read-only: audit never edits artifacts or code.

Procedure: workflows/actions/project-audit.md (the full action prompt; this file is the contract).

Innsigle seal: model-primary by HELIX

The signature covers the markdown source of this page, not these HTML bytes. This page quotes that seal; verify it against the source file.
