Docs Auditor

Transcript-based documentation effectiveness analysis. Evaluates whether reading docs actually improves agent behavior or wastes context tokens. Generates an interactive HTML report with per-doc health, freshness dashboard, context budget, and actionable recommendations.

Prerequisites

• pip install tiktoken (optional — falls back to character-based estimation)
• No external API keys required. Analysis uses Claude sub-agents.

Workflow

Run all steps sequentially. The coordinator (you) manages data flow between scripts and sub-agents.

Step 1: Initial Questions

Ask the user for the report language using AskUserQuestion: "レポートの言語は？ (e.g. 日本語, English)" Default to the user's conversation language if not specified. Pass the language choice to all sub-agents as an instruction prefix: "Write all output text in [chosen language]."

Scope is always current project only. Do NOT ask.

Step 2: Workspace Setup & Data Collection

Set up a timestamped workspace:

RUN_ID=$(date +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S)
WORKSPACE=<project>/.claude/docs-report/${RUN_ID}
mkdir -p ${WORKSPACE}

Collect transcripts:

python3 scripts/collect_transcripts.py --cwd "$(pwd)" --days 14 \
  --output ${WORKSPACE}/transcripts.json --verbose

Collect doc metadata:

python3 scripts/collect_docs.py --project-root "$(pwd)" \
  --output ${WORKSPACE}/doc-manifest.json --verbose

Report: "N sessions, M user turns, K docs found. Context budget: T tokens (A always-on, D on-demand)."

Step 3: Doc Impact Audit (Sub-agents, Batched)

Batch sessions (~60 per batch, cap at MAX_BATCHES=12). Spawn parallel sub-agents — one per batch:

For each batch i:
  Agent tool (general-purpose):
    "Read agents/doc-impact-analyst.md from the docs-auditor skill directory
     for your analysis instructions.
     Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-manifest.json for doc definitions.
     Read ${WORKSPACE}/transcripts.json for session data.
     Only analyze sessions with these indices: [list from batch].
     Write all output text in [chosen language].
     Write your analysis as JSON to ${WORKSPACE}/batch-impact-${i}.json
     following the exact schema in schemas/schemas.md (doc-impact-report section)."

After all sub-agents complete, merge batch results:

• Union all doc_reports (combine incidents, recalculate stats per doc)
• Union docs_never_read
• Recalculate meta totals
• Write merged result to ${WORKSPACE}/doc-impact-report.json

Step 4: Always-On Analysis (Single Sub-agent)

Agent tool (general-purpose):
  "Read agents/always-on-analyst.md from the docs-auditor skill directory.
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-manifest.json for doc definitions.
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/transcripts.json for session data.
   Focus on docs with injection_mode 'always' (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md).
   Write all output text in [chosen language].
   Write analysis to ${WORKSPACE}/always-on-report.json."

Step 5: Portfolio Analysis (Single Sub-agent)

Agent tool (general-purpose):
  "Read agents/portfolio-analyst.md from the docs-auditor skill directory.
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-manifest.json
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-impact-report.json
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/always-on-report.json
   Write all output text in [chosen language].
   Write analysis to ${WORKSPACE}/portfolio-analysis.json."

Step 6: Improvement Plan (Single Sub-agent)

Agent tool (general-purpose):
  "Read agents/improvement-planner.md from the docs-auditor skill directory.
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-impact-report.json
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/always-on-report.json
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/portfolio-analysis.json
   Read ${WORKSPACE}/doc-manifest.json
   Write all output text in [chosen language].
   Write recommendations to ${WORKSPACE}/improvement-plan.json.
   Write individual recommendation files to ${WORKSPACE}/recommendations/."

Step 7: Generate Report & Apply

Generate HTML report:

python3 scripts/generate_report.py --workspace ${WORKSPACE}
open ${WORKSPACE}/docs-audit-report.html

Update health history — read <base_dir>/health-history.json (create if doesn't exist as []). Append:

{
  "timestamp": "<ISO 8601>",
  "sessions_analyzed": 0,
  "turns_analyzed": 0,
  "docs_analyzed": 0,
  "total_doc_tokens": 0,
  "always_on_tokens": 0,
  "portfolio_health": "healthy | needs_attention | critical",
  "freshness_score": "fresh | aging | stale",
  "mean_impact_score": 0.0,
  "docs_never_read": 0,
  "recommendations_proposed": 0
}

Show delta from previous run if exists.

Do NOT auto-apply any recommendations. All recommendations (including update_last_validated and add_last_validated) are presented in the HTML report for human review. The user decides what to apply manually.

If the user explicitly asks to apply specific recommendations after reviewing the report:

python3 scripts/apply_recommendations.py \
  --recommendations ${WORKSPACE}/recommendations/ --confirm \
  --output ${WORKSPACE}/changelog.md

Step 8: Summary

Report what was done:

• Sessions and turns analyzed
• Docs analyzed and their context budget
• Portfolio health score and freshness score
• Always-on utilization score
• Recommendations proposed (by action type)
• Link to the HTML report

Doc Impact Verdicts

Verdict	Description
beneficial	Agent behavior improved after reading the doc
neutral	No observable behavior change
harmful	Outdated/conflicting info caused agent to act incorrectly
unnecessary	Doc was irrelevant to the task (context waste)
inconclusive	Cannot determine impact from available context

Always-On Directive Verdicts

Verdict	Description
followed	Agent behavior aligned with directive
violated	Agent behavior contradicted directive
not_applicable	Directive was not relevant to this session

Troubleshooting

• "No project found": Use --cwd or --list with collect_transcripts.py.
• tiktoken not installed: Token counts use character-based approximation.
• Large project (100+ sessions): Batched automatically, max 12 sub-agents.
• No docs found: Ensure project has docs/, CLAUDE.md, or AGENTS.md.
