.claude/skills/leverage-point-audit/# Leverage Point Audit Audit a codebase against the 12 leverage points framework to identify gaps and improve agentic coding success. ## When to Use - Before starting a new agentic coding project - When agents are failing or requiring many attempts - When KPIs (Size, Attempts, Streak, Presence) are not improving - For periodic health checks of agentic capability ## The 12 Leverage Points ### In-Agent (Core Four) 1. **Context** - CLAUDE.md, README, project docs 2. **Model** - Appropriate model selection 3. **Prompt** - Clear instructions and templates 4. **Tools** - Required capabilities available ### Through-Agent (External) 1. **Standard Out** - Logging for visibility 2. **Types** - Information Dense Keywords (IDKs) 3. **Documentation** - Agent-specific context 4. **Tests** - Self-correction capability (HIGHEST LEVERAGE) 5. **Architecture** - Navigable codebase structure 6. **Plans** - Meta-work communication 7. **Templates** - Reusable prompts (slash commands) 8. **ADWs** - Autonomous workflows ## Audit Workflow ### Step 1: Check Context (Leverage Points 1-4) **CLAUDE.md presence:** ```yaml Search for: CLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md Check: Does it explain the project? Conventions? Common commands? ``` **README.md quality:** ```yaml Search for: README.md Check: Does it explain structure? How to run? How to test? ``` **Permissions configuration:** ```yaml Search for: .claude/settings.json Check: Are required tools allowed? ``` ### Step 2: Check Visibility (Leverage Point 5) **Standard out patterns:** ```yaml Search for: print(, console.log(, logger., logging. Check: Are success AND error cases logged? Check: Can agent see what's happening? ``` **Anti-pattern detection:** ```text Look for: Silent returns, bare except blocks, empty catch blocks These prevent agent visibility. ``` ### Step 3: Check Searchability (Leverage Point 6) **Type definitions:** ```yaml Search for: interface, type, class, BaseModel, dataclass Check: Are names information-de
