Theater Detection Audit

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:audit
Performs comprehensive audits to detect placeholder code, mock data, TODO markers, and incomplete implementations in codebases. Use this skill when you need to find all instances of "theater" in code such as hardcoded mock responses, stub functions, commented-out production logic, or fake data that needs to be replaced with real implementations. The skill systematically identifies these instances, reads their full context, and completes them with production-quality code.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill helps identify and eliminate "theater" in codebases, which refers to code that appears to work but uses fake data, mock responses, stub implementations, or other non-production placeholders. Theater is common during rapid development but must be systematically removed before production deployment. This skill provides a comprehensive audit and completion workflow.

What this skill does

Theater Detection Audit is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/theater-detection-audit/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Theater Detection Audit Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
