Canonical Paths

Before resolving any ShipFlow-owned file, load $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/canonical-paths.md ($SHIPFLOW_ROOT defaults to $HOME/shipflow). ShipFlow tools, shared references, skill-local references/*, templates, workflow docs, and internal scripts must resolve from $SHIPFLOW_ROOT, not from the project repo where the skill is running. Project artifacts and source files still resolve from the current project root unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Instruction Layering

Load $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/skill-instruction-layering.md before execution. This skill keeps the activation surface local and loads detailed audit matrices from references.

Chantier Tracking

Trace category: conditionnel. Process role: source-de-chantier.

Before producing the final report, load $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/chantier-tracking.md when this run is attached to a spec-first chantier. If exactly one active shipflow_data/workflow/specs/*.md chantier is identified, append the current run to Skill Run History, update Current Chantier Flow when the run changes the chantier state, and include a final Chantier block. If no unique chantier is identified, do not write to any spec; report Chantier: non applicable or Chantier: non trace with the reason.

Chantier Potential Intake

Because this skill has process role source-de-chantier, evaluate the standard threshold from $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/chantier-tracking.md before the final report. If findings reveal non-trivial follow-up work and no unique chantier owns it, include a Chantier potentiel block with explicit recommendation to /100-sf-spec ....

Report Modes

Before producing the final report, load $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/reporting-contract.md.

Default to report=user: concise, findings-first, top issues + proof gaps + chantier potential + next action. Use report=agent, handoff, verbose, or full-report for full matrices and exhaustive checklist output.

Context

  • Current directory: !pwd
  • Project CLAUDE.md: !head -100 CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "no CLAUDE.md"
  • Branding summary: !if [ -f shipflow_data/business/branding.md ]; then head -60 shipflow_data/business/branding.md; else head -60 BRANDING.md 2>/dev/null || echo "no shipflow_data/business/branding.md (and no legacy BRANDING.md)"; fi
  • Representative pages/components: !find src/pages src/app src/components -name "*.astro" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.vue" 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | sort | head -80

Mode Detection

  • $ARGUMENTS == deep -> DEEP MODE
  • $ARGUMENTS == global -> GLOBAL MODE
  • $ARGUMENTS is a file path -> PAGE MODE
  • empty args -> PROJECT MODE

Required References

Always load:

  1. $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/502-sf-audit-design/references/audit-gates.md
  2. $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/502-sf-audit-design/references/audit-checklists.md
  3. $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/decision-quality-contract.md
  4. $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/design-system-token-contract.md

Load on demand:

  • DEEP MODE: launch specialist skills (503-sf-audit-design-tokens, 504-sf-audit-components, 409-sf-audit-a11y) per instructions in audit-gates.md.
  • GLOBAL MODE: use cross-project routing and tracking protocol from audit-gates.md.

Core Execution Rules

  • Findings-first reporting is mandatory.
  • Audit must include product coherence and documentation mismatch risks when UI claims/states diverge.
  • Business metadata quality must be reported when it affects confidence (artifact_version, status, updated, confidence, next_review).
  • Preserve accessibility and safety guardrails; never soften critical findings to reduce effort.
  • Treat unexplained hardcoded visual values as design-system shortcut findings when they patch layout, spacing, typography, colors, motion, overlays, IME/keyboard behavior, responsive behavior, or component state outside the project's token/theme/component source of truth.
  • Treat any new color, typography, spacing, shadow/elevation, motion, breakpoint, safe-area, keyboard, or overlay literal outside the centralized design-system source as a drift finding unless a named platform-bound exception is documented.
  • Use file:line evidence and a one-line "Why it matters" principle for priority findings.

Stop Conditions

Stop and report blocked when:

  • no auditable scope can be identified
  • required reference is missing and no safe fallback exists
  • deep/global orchestration requested but bounded audit missions cannot be formed safely

Tracking Contract

Use the shared read-before-write protocol for AUDIT_LOG.md and TASKS.md documented in audit-gates.md. Before creating or mutating audit or task operational records, load $SHIPFLOW_ROOT/skills/references/operational-record-format.md; audit-gates.md narrows write safety but does not replace the shared grammar.

Validation

Run focused checks for skill-contract coherence:

rg -n "Trace category|Process role|Chantier potentiel|reporting-contract|skill-instruction-layering|references/" skills/502-sf-audit-design/SKILL.md
python3 tools/design_system_drift_check.py --format markdown --warn-only
