Dx Audit Agent Skill
Audits the smallest relevant developer-facing surface of a library, CLI, SDK, or npm package across API contracts, errors, CLI behavior, public types, onboarding, and config. Uses candidate-first rule loading, bounded local evidence, and compact root-cause findings. Use when asked to "audit my CLI", "make this CLI agent-friendly", "is this API ergonomic", "review the developer experience", "improve these errors", "simplify first run", or "review my SDK". For end-user UI use ui-audit, for agentic-app trust use ax-audit, for docs prose use docs-writing, for README work use readme-creator, and for repo architecture use define-architecture. Inside a product that also ships a UI, this is the skill for the developer-facing half, so pick it when the complaint is about an import, command, error string, exported type, or config rather than a screen.

Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.
Use when the user asks to run Codex CLI (codex exec, codex resume) or references OpenAI Codex for code analysis, refactoring, or automated editing. Uses GPT-5.2 by default for state-of-the-art software engineering.
Implement memory-safe programming with RAII, ownership, smart pointers, and resource management across Rust, C++, and C. Use when writing safe systems code, managing resources, or preventing memory bugs.
Python/HTSlib workflows for genomic files. Use when reading, querying, filtering, or writing SAM/BAM/CRAM, VCF/BCF, FASTA/FASTQ, or tabix data with pysam, including pileup, coverage, indexing, and CRAM references.
Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.
Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `gh` to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
> Create, build, deploy, and localize declarative agents for M365 Copilot and Teams. USE THIS SKILL for ANY task involving a declarative agent — including localization, scaffolding, editing manifests, adding capabilities, and deploying. Localization requires tokenized manifests and language files that only this skill knows how to produce. "scaffold an agent", "new agent project", "add a capability", "add a plugin", "configure my agent", "deploy my agent", "fix my agent manifest", "edit my agent", "localize my agent", "add localization", "translate my agent", "multi-language agent", "add an API plugin", "add an MCP plugin", "add OAuth to my plugin", "review instructions", "improve instructions", "fix my instructions"
Documentation generation workflow covering API docs, architecture docs, README files, code comments, and technical writing.
How to use it
Take mblode/dx-audit from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
