RU: Audit Now

Force the loop to enter validation mode on the next iteration.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Usage

/ru:audit-now - Start validation from round 1
/ru:audit-now 4 - Start from round 4 (Adversarial Probing)

Execution

/usr/bin/env bash << 'RU_AUDIT_SCRIPT'
PROJECT_DIR="${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd)}"
CONFIG_FILE="$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/ru-config.json"
STATE_FILE="$PROJECT_DIR/.claude/ru-state.json"
ROUND="${ARGUMENTS:-1}"

Validate round number

if ! [[ "$ROUND" =~ ^[1-5]$ ]]; then echo "Error: Round must be 1-5" echo "" echo "Validation Rounds:" echo " 1: Critical Issues" echo " 2: Verification" echo " 3: Documentation" echo " 4: Adversarial Probing" echo " 5: Cross-Period Robustness" exit 1 fi

Ensure config file exists

if [[ ! -f "$CONFIG_FILE" ]]; then echo '{}' > "$CONFIG_FILE" fi

Check if loop is running

CURRENT_STATE="stopped" if [[ -f "$STATE_FILE" ]]; then CURRENT_STATE=$(jq -r '.state // "stopped"' "$STATE_FILE" 2>/dev/null || echo "stopped") fi

if [[ "$CURRENT_STATE" != "running" ]]; then echo "Warning: Loop not running (state: $CURRENT_STATE)" fi

Set force validation flag

TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") jq --argjson round "$ROUND" --arg ts "$TIMESTAMP"
'.force_validation = {enabled: true, round: $round, timestamp: $ts}'
"$CONFIG_FILE" > "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$CONFIG_FILE"

echo "Force validation enabled - starting round $ROUND on next iteration" RU_AUDIT_SCRIPT


Run the bash script above to force validation mode.

## Troubleshooting

| Issue                   | Cause                 | Solution                         |
| ----------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Round must be 1-5       | Invalid round number  | Use a number between 1 and 5     |
| Loop not running        | RU not started        | Run `/ru:start` first            |
| Config file not found   | .claude dir missing   | Create with `mkdir -p .claude`   |
| Validation not starting | Config not read yet   | Wait for next iteration to apply |
| jq error                | Config file malformed | Run `/ru:settings reset`         |


## Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. **Did the command succeed?** — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. **Did parameters or output change?** — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. **Was a workaround needed?** — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
