Skills adapter-audit

Use this skill to audit CLI adapter projects (like opencli) for missing output fields, then batch-generate fixes and submit PRs. Turns AI agents into adapter quality reviewers.

Adapter audit skill

Use this skill when you want to systematically audit and fix CLI adapter projects — for example, scanning all search adapters in opencli for missing

url
fields and batch-generating patches.

When to use

  • auditing adapter output schemas for missing fields (url, timestamp, thumbnail, etc.)
  • generating batch fixes across many adapters at once
  • preparing multi-file PRs to upstream projects
  • maintaining output consistency across a large adapter registry

Core workflow

1. Scan

Scan all adapters in the target project and classify each by:

  • adapter type (YAML declarative vs TS/JS coded)
  • which output fields are present
  • which standard fields are missing

Standard fields to check:

  • url
    — direct link to the content item
  • title
    — content title
  • author
    — creator/author name
  • timestamp
    /
    date
    — publish or capture time

2. Classify fix type

For each missing field, determine the fix strategy:

SituationFix strategy
Field is computed internally but not in
columns
Add to
columns
list
Field is computed but stripped by a
map
step
Pass through the
map
step + add to
columns
Field is not computed but can be constructed from existing dataAdd construction logic + add to
columns
Field requires external data not available in the API responseSkip or mark as "needs upstream API change"

3. Fix

Apply fixes using the minimum change principle:

  • For YAML adapters: add field to return object + map step + columns array
  • For TS adapters: add field to return object + columns array
  • Never change existing fields or behavior
  • Only add new fields

4. Verify

After fixing, run the project's existing tests:

npm run build    # ensure TS compiles
npm test         # ensure nothing breaks

5. Submit

Create a single well-documented PR with:

  • clear title describing the scope
  • table showing before/after coverage
  • per-adapter fix type classification
  • risk assessment (should always be "additive only")

Proven example

This skill was used to audit opencli's 33 search adapters:

  • Before: 22/33 (67%) had
    url
    in output
  • After: 32/33 (97%) had
    url
    in output
  • Fix types used: columns-only (3), map-passthrough (2), construct-from-data (4)
  • Files changed: 9
  • Lines changed: +17 / -10
  • PR: merged within hours, all CI green

Output contract

The audit output should include:

  1. total adapters scanned
  2. per-adapter field coverage table
  3. fix strategy for each missing field
  4. list of files changed
  5. before/after coverage metrics
  6. risk classification

Key rules

  • Never modify existing output fields — only add missing ones
  • Prefer constructing URLs from existing API data over adding new API calls
  • Skip fields that genuinely don't apply (e.g.,
    url
    for dictionary word lookup)
  • Always verify the constructed URL format is correct for the platform
  • Group all fixes into a single PR for easier review
