Live Site Audit

Comprehensive multi-dimensional site audit that orchestrates four specialist agents in parallel for performance, accessibility, security, and code quality analysis.

Usage

/audit-live-site — Full audit of local project
/audit-live-site https://example.com — Audit a live site URL
/audit-live-site staging.example.com — Audit staging environment

Environment Detection

Tier 1 — Portable (Claude Desktop, Codex, any environment)

When Task() or browser tools are unavailable:

Detect context — Determine site URL (from argument or local project) and CMS (Drupal/WordPress)
Run sequential analysis — Perform all four audit dimensions directly using Read, Grep, Glob:
- Performance: Database query patterns, caching strategy, asset markup, Core Web Vitals indicators
- Accessibility: Semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, color values, keyboard patterns
- Security: OWASP Top 10 code patterns, input validation, output encoding
- Code Quality: Complexity, code smells, standards compliance, technical debt
Synthesize findings — Combine results into unified prioritized report
Calculate health score — Score each dimension (0–100) and compute overall health
Save report — Write to audit-live-site-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and present path

Tier 2 — Claude Code Enhanced

When running in Claude Code with Task() available:

Spawn all 4 specialists in parallel (single message with 4 Task calls):

Task(cms-cultivator:live-audit-specialist:live-audit-specialist,
     prompt="Perform comprehensive site audit by orchestrating 4 specialists in parallel.

Site context:
- Site URL: {url from argument or 'local development'}
- CMS: {Drupal/WordPress - detect from codebase if local}
- Environment: {production/staging/local}

CRITICAL: Spawn all 4 specialists IMMEDIATELY in a single message with 4 Task calls. Do NOT gather context yourself - it is provided above. Synthesize findings into unified report. Save to audit-live-site-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md and suggest: 'Use the audit-export skill to export findings as CSV tasks.'")

The live-audit-specialist will:

Spawn 4 specialists in parallel:
- performance-specialist — Core Web Vitals, asset optimization, caching
- accessibility-specialist — WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, keyboard navigation, ARIA
- security-specialist — OWASP vulnerabilities, authentication, CVE scanning
- code-quality-specialist — Technical debt, coding standards, complexity
Synthesize unified report with:
- Executive summary with overall health score
- Critical issues across all dimensions
- Cross-domain issue identification
- Prioritized remediation roadmap (High → Medium → Low)
- Estimated effort and business impact
Generate deliverables:
- Audit report file (audit-live-site-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md)
- Technical audit report for developers
- Executive summary for stakeholders
- Performance, accessibility, security, and quality scores

Report Format

# Site Audit Report — [Site URL]

Chrome DevTools Integration

When chrome-devtools MCP is available (Claude Code only), the audit can include:

Real browser performance measurement (actual LCP, INP, CLS values)
Live accessibility testing with axe-core
Network request analysis
Screenshots at multiple breakpoints

After the Audit

Export findings to project management CSV:

Use the audit-export skill: provide the report file path to generate a Teamwork-compatible CSV with tasks organized by priority phase.
