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_SCRIPTRun 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:
- Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
- Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
- 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.
