## What it does

The skill runs `indexion identity audit` over a project and turns the output into a review queue. It scans files, folders and graph-level declaration symbols. Local variables, parameters and fields are not treated as separate naming targets, though they can still shape the summary of the containing file. File names are evaluated with parent scope, and declaration-heavy files read as evidence-thin until follow-up inspection proves a real rename or split.

Every row is a review candidate, not proof. You compare `name`, `expected_summary`, `actual_summary`, `assessment` and `recommendation`. Before editing, the skill suggests confirming the finding with `indexion doc graph --format=text <path>`, `indexion grep --semantic=name:<symbol> .` and `rg "<name-or-term>" <path>`. Then you pick the smallest confirmed operation: rename a symbol, a file or a folder, move a file, or split it when several dominant responsibilities show up.

An `insufficient-content` assessment is an evidence problem, not naming drift. Check first whether the file is intentionally declarative, empty, or unsupported by the graph extractor. After changes the skill runs `moon info && moon fmt`, `moon test` and the audit again. Chasing a high score mechanically misses the point; verify actual code ownership and references first.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-identity -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/indexion-identity/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-identity -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-identity -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install trkbt10/indexion-skills indexion-identity
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-identity -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/trkbt10/indexion-skills --path skills/indexion-identity
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-identity -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/trkbt10/indexion-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/indexion-identity/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find functions whose name drifted from the implementation
- check whether a file name still matches its declarations
- decide if a file belongs in another folder
- split a file with several dominant responsibilities
- get a machine-readable JSON audit report

## Example prompts
- run the identity audit over the project and list rename candidates
- check whether this file name is stale before I rename it
- write the audit report to `.indexion/cache/identity/report.json`

# Identity Audit Workflow

Use this skill when checking whether function, file, or folder names still match
their contents.

The CLI scans files, folders, and graph-level declaration symbols. It does not
treat every local variable, parameter, or field as an independent naming target;
those can still influence the containing file summary. File names are evaluated
with parent scope, and declaration-heavy files should normally be read as
evidence-thin until follow-up inspection proves an actual rename or split.

## Pipeline

1. Run the mechanical scan:

   ```bash
   indexion identity audit .
   ```

   For a machine-readable queue:

   ```bash
   indexion identity audit --format=json --output=.indexion/cache/identity/report.json .
   ```

2. Treat each row as a review candidate, not proof. Compare:

   - `name`: the scoped name inferred by the identity package
   - `expected_summary`: what the path/name/scope predicts
   - `actual_summary`: graph-derived declarations, docs, module notes, and path terms
   - `assessment`: whether this is actual drift, overbroad content, or insufficient content
   - `recommendation`: first operation to verify

3. Verify before editing:

   ```bash
   indexion doc graph --format=text <path>
   indexion grep --semantic=name:<symbol> .
   rg "<name-or-term>" <path>
   ```

4. Choose the smallest confirmed operation:

   - Treat `insufficient-content` as an evidence problem, not a naming-drift proof.
     Inspect whether the file is intentionally declarative/thin, unsupported by the
     graph extractor, empty, or missing doc/declaration material before renaming.
   - Rename a symbol when its implementation is cohesive but the name is stale.
   - Rename a file when its declarations are cohesive but the file name is stale.
   - Rename a folder when contained files share a clearer parent concept.
   - Move a file when it fits an existing folder better than its current one.
   - Split a file when candidates show multiple dominant responsibilities.

5. After changes:

   ```bash
   moon info && moon fmt
   moon test
   indexion identity audit .
   ```

The audit is designed to surface review work. Do not maximize the score

END THIRD-PARTY FILE 9217cd8bbf5c5d27

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the 9217cd8bbf5c5d27 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
