resilience-audit

Failure-mode audit (FMEA for software) — for each way the system can fail (network, storage, partial completion, crash, concurrency, bad input), check whether code DETECTS, HANDLES, RECOVERS, and COMMUNICATES it. Triggers on: "/resilience-audit", "resilience-audit", "FMEA audit". Use when touching network, storage, async, retry, or rollback paths. Flags data loss, silent-success-on-failure, missing rollback/retry/idempotency. Reports; does not fix unless asked.

rotcanary

Code-health scan — dead code, bug-prone logic, resource leaks, concurrency bugs, silent failures, input-boundary issues, doc rot. Auto-runs at session end on touched files (QUICK, report only). Run manually for fix mode. Reports; fixes on request via choice-gated menu.

gold-standard

World-class completeness audit — score a project's rules/standards/features against best-in-class exemplars, name the gaps, fill missing rules, adopt as binding, then offer to conform existing code. Triggers on keywords: "/gold-standard", "gold-standard", "audit rules", "are we world-class", "fill gaps", "complete our rules", "conform old code".

drift-canary

Compatibility and schema drift canary — checks for database schema migration safety, breaking API contract changes, serializable payload mismatches, and backward compatibility drift. Triggers on keywords: "/drift-canary", "drift-canary", "contract drift", "breaking changes". Use when changing DB schemas, API contracts, serialized payloads, or required config keys.

rot-canary

Code-health scan — dead code, bug-prone logic, resource leaks, concurrency bugs, silent failures, input-boundary issues, doc rot. Triggers on: "/rot-canary", "rot-canary", "code-health" (legacy aliases: "/rotcanary", "rotcanary"). Auto-runs at session end on touched files (QUICK, report only) via platform hooks — auto-wired by the Claude Code plugin, manual elsewhere. Run manually for fix mode. Reports; fixes on request via choice-gated menu.

scale-canary

Performance complexity and resource allocation canary — checks for O(N^2) loops, database N+1 query patterns, memory leaks (unbounded collections), and blocking calls in main event loop. Triggers on keywords: "/scale-canary", "scale-canary", "performance audit", "scale audit". Use when writing loops over growing data, DB queries, caches, or async/event-loop code.

source-grounding

Verify version-sensitive facts against live authoritative sources before asserting them in code or answers. Triggers on: "/source-grounding", "source-grounding", "sourcing". Standing rule — always active via CLAUDE.md. Invoke for deep verification work (API signatures, CVEs, model IDs, auth flows, deprecated patterns, security advisories).

telemetry-canary

Observability and structured logging canary — checks for structured logs (JSON), OpenTelemetry metrics/traces, proper error stack traces, and flags empty catches or silent log swallowing. Triggers on keywords: "/telemetry-canary", "telemetry-canary", "observability audit", "structured logging". Use when adding or changing logging, metrics, tracing, or error-handling code.

testability-canary

Testability and design decoupling canary — checks for tight coupling, lack of Dependency Injection (DI), hardcoded constructors, Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) violations, and mockability gaps. Triggers on keywords: "/testability-canary", "testability-canary", "testability audit", "decoupling". Use when refactoring coupling, introducing DI, or making code unit-testable.
