auditing-libraries

This skill should be used when the user asks to "audit libraries", "check library conventions", "validate lib structure", "find convention violations", "review library organization", or wants to verify that existing libraries follow the _.ts/__.ts namespace pattern correctly. Identifies and reports violations.

Auditing Libraries

Analyze existing libraries for convention violations and report issues.

CRITICAL

Read Conventions Before Auditing

The authoritative convention documents are:

  • ~/.claude/docs/conventions/namespace-module.md — Core _.ts/__.ts pattern
  • ~/.claude/docs/conventions/library-local.md — Local library context (src/lib/)
  • ~/.claude/docs/conventions/library-package.md — Package-level context

Read these before auditing to understand the full rules.

Operations

Audit Single Library

Check a specific library for violations.

Steps:

  1. Identify library type (local lib, package lib)
  2. Check file structure matches expected pattern
  3. Validate _.ts content
  4. Validate __.ts content (if exists)
  5. Check import patterns in code modules
  6. Verify test file imports
  7. Report all violations found

Audit All Libraries

Scan project for all libraries and check each.

Steps:

  1. Find all directories containing _.ts files
  2. Categorize each (local lib at src/lib/*, package lib at src/*)
  3. Audit each library individually
  4. Summarize violations by category

Fix Violations

After auditing, fix identified issues.

Steps:

  1. Present violations to user
  2. Propose fixes for each
  3. Apply fixes with user approval
  4. Re-audit to confirm resolution

Violation Categories

Structure Violations

| Violation | Description | Fix | | --------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Missing _.ts | Library has no namespace module | Create _.ts with correct export | | Missing __.ts | Multiple impl files but no barrel | Create __.ts with re-exports | | Extra __.ts | Single impl file with barrel | Remove __.ts, update _.ts | | Wrong location | Library not in src/lib/ | Move to correct location |

Namespace Module (_.ts) Violations

| Violation | Description | Fix | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------- | -------------------------- | | Wrong export target | Points to wrong file | Fix export path | | Has imports | Contains import statements | Remove imports | | Wrong namespace name | Doesn't match directory | Fix namespace name | | Missing barrel reference | Has __.ts but exports from impl | Change to from './__.js' |

Barrel Module (__.ts) Violations

| Violation | Description | Fix | | ------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Imports from _.ts | Circular dependency | Remove import | | Value imports | Has import { x } not re-export | Convert to export { x } from | | External imports | Imports from outside library | Move to code module | | Parent imports | Imports from ../ | Remove or restructure |

Import Pattern Violations

| Violation | Description | Fix | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Destructured namespace | import { Foo } from '#lib' | Use import { Lib } from '#lib' then Lib.Foo | | Self namespace import | Code imports own _.ts | Use relative imports | | Self barrel import | Code imports own __.ts | Use relative imports | | Relative cross-lib | import from '../other-lib' | Use #other-lib |

Test Violations

| Violation | Description | Fix | | ------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Wrong import | Test imports from impl file | Import from ./_.js | | Destructured | Test destructures namespace | Use namespace directly | | Missing fixture namespace | Fixture doesn't export Fx | Add export namespace Fx |

Audit Checklist

## Library: <name>

### Structure

* [ ] Located at correct path (src/lib/<name>/ or src/<name>/)
* [ ] Has _.ts namespace module
* [ ] Has __.ts barrel (if multiple impl files)
* [ ] No __.ts (if single impl file)

### Namespace Module (_.ts)

* [ ] Correct export pattern
* [ ] Namespace name matches directory (PascalCase)
* [ ] No import statements
* [ ] Points to __.ts (if exists) or impl file

### Barrel Module (__.ts) - if exists

* [ ] Only contains re-exports
* [ ] No imports from _.ts
* [ ] No external package imports
* [ ] All exports from local files

### Code Modules

* [ ] No imports from own _.ts
* [ ] No imports from own __.ts
* [ ] Cross-lib imports use #<name>
* [ ] Sibling imports use relative paths

### Tests (_.test.ts)

* [ ] Imports from ./_.js only
* [ ] Uses namespace, no destructuring
* [ ] No top-level describe wrapping all tests

### Config

* [ ] package.json has imports entry
* [ ] tsconfig.json has paths entry

Examples

Violation Report Format

Library: src/lib/parser/

VIOLATIONS FOUND: 3

1. [NAMESPACE] _.ts has wrong export
   Current:  export * from './parser.js'
   Expected: export * as Parser from './__.js'
   Reason:   __.ts exists, so _.ts must export namespace from barrel

2. [IMPORT] tokenizer.ts imports from own namespace
   Line 3: import { Parser } from './_.js'
   Fix:     Use relative import: import { helper } from './helper.js'

3. [TEST] _.test.ts destructures namespace
   Line 1: import { tokenize, lex } from './_.js'
   Fix:     import { Parser } from './_.js' then use Parser.tokenize

Notes

  • Run /fix-conventions command for automated fixing
  • Some violations require architectural decisions (restructuring)
  • Package-level libraries have different path expectations
