Deep retrospective audit of everything merged to main over a window - code quality against the stand-* skills, introduced bugs, unsafe changes, merges over red signals, hollow thread resolutions, and untracked deferrals - with a tabbed HTML report as the deliverable. Use when asked to audit merges, review what landed on main, or verify automated/agent-authored merges were up to standard.

From the source SKILL.md

Retrospective, read-only code-substance audit of every merge to main across one or more repos over a time window. Where sweep-prs audits the PR lifecycle (green builds, red main, thread hygiene), this skill re-reads the merged code itself — quality, correctness, safety, and whether deferred work was actually tracked. Built for high-automation repos where most merges are agent-authored or auto-merged and human review coverage is thin.

What this skill does

Audit Merges is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/audit-merges/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to audit merges, review what landed on main, or verify automated/agent-authored merges were up to standard.
