Run any "find all instances of X" sweep — a security audit, a safety audit, a code review, a research question, a compliance check — as an iterative loop that does NOT stop at one pass. Audit → fix → RE-audit → … until a clean pass returns zero NEW discoveries. Use whenever thoroughness matters and a single pass would miss things. Trigger words: audit, sweep, find all, review everything, comprehensive, thorough, exhaustive, security review, safety audit, no stone unturned, did we get everything, convergence.

From the source SKILL.md

A single audit pass is never thorough. The first sweep has blind spots; the fixes themselves reveal new instances or introduce new ones; and "I looked once and stopped finding things" usually means "I got tired," not "there is nothing left." The only honest definition of a complete audit is a converged one: a re-run that finds zero new discoveries.

What this skill does

When to invoke it: Use whenever thoroughness matters and a single pass would miss things. Trigger words: audit, sweep, find all, review everything, comprehensive, thorough, exhaustive, security review, safety audit, no stone unturned, did we get everything, convergence.
