Workspace Surface Audit

1---2name: workspace-surface-audit3description: Audit the active repo, MCP servers, plugins, connectors, env surfaces, and harness setup, then recommend the highest-value ECC-native skills, hooks, agents, and operator workflows. Use when the user wants help setting up Claude Code or understanding what capabilities are actually available in their environment.4origin: ECC5---6 7# Workspace Surface Audit8 9Read-only audit skill for answering the question "what can this workspace and machine actually do right now, and what should we add or enable next?"10 11This is the ECC-native answer to setup-audit plugins. It does not modify files unless the user explicitly asks for follow-up implementation.12 13## When to Use14 15- User says "set up Claude Code", "recommend automations", "what plugins or MCPs should I use?", or "what am I missing?"16- Auditing a machine or repo before installing more skills, hooks, or connectors17- Comparing official marketplace plugins against ECC-native coverage18- Reviewing `.env`, `.mcp.json`, plugin settings, or connected-app surfaces to find missing workflow layers19- Deciding whether a capability should be a skill, hook, agent, MCP, or external connector20 21## Non-Negotiable Rules22 23- Never print secret values. Surface only provider names, capability names, file paths, and whether a key or config exists.24- Prefer ECC-native workflows over generic "install another plugin" advice when ECC can reasonably own the surface.25- Treat external plugins as benchmarks and inspiration, not authoritative product boundaries.26- Separate three things clearly:27  - already available now28  - available but not wrapped well in ECC29  - not available and would require a new integration30 31## Audit Inputs32 33Inspect only the files and settings needed to answer the question well:34 351. Repo surface36   - `package.json`, lockfiles, language markers, framework config, `README.md`37   - `.mcp.json`, `.lsp.json`, `.claude/settings*.json`, `.codex/*`38   - `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, install manifests, hook configs392. Environment surface40   - `.env*` files in the active repo and obvious adjacent ECC workspaces41   - Surface only key names such as `STRIPE_API_KEY`, `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN`, `FAL_KEY`423. Connected tool surface43   - Installed plugins, enabled connectors, MCP servers, LSPs, and app integrations444. ECC surface45   - Existing skills, commands, hooks, agents, and install modules that already cover the need46 47## Audit Process48 49### Phase 1: Inventory What Exists50 51Produce a compact inventory:52 53- active harness targets54- installed plugins and connected apps55- configured MCP servers56- configured LSP servers57- env-backed services implied by key names58- existing ECC skills already relevant to the workspace59 60If a surface exists only as a primitive, call that out. Example:61 62- "Stripe is available via connected app, but ECC lacks a billing-operator skill"63- "Google Drive is connected, but there is no ECC-native Google Workspace operator workflow"64 65### Phase 2: Benchmark Against Official and Installed Surfaces66 67Compare the workspace against:68 69- official Claude plugins that overlap with setup, review, docs, design, or workflow quality70- locally installed plugins in Claude or Codex71- the user's currently connected app surfaces72 73Do not just list names. For each comparison, answer:74 751. what they actually do762. whether ECC already has parity773. whether ECC only has primitives784. whether ECC is missing the workflow entirely79 80### Phase 3: Turn Gaps Into ECC Decisions81 82For every real gap, recommend the correct ECC-native shape:83 84| Gap Type | Preferred ECC Shape |85|----------|---------------------|86| Repeatable operator workflow | Skill |87| Automatic enforcement or side-effect | Hook |88| Specialized delegated role | Agent |89| External tool bridge | MCP server or connector |90| Install/bootstrap guidance | Setup or audit skill |91 92Default to user-facing skills that orchestrate existing tools when the need is operational rather than infrastructural.93 94## Output Format95 96Return five sections in this order:97 981. **Current surface**99   - what is already usable right now1002. **Parity**101   - where ECC already matches or exceeds the benchmark1023. **Primitive-only gaps**103   - tools exist, but ECC lacks a clean operator skill1044. **Missing integrations**105   - capability not available yet1065. **Top 3-5 next moves**107   - concrete ECC-native additions, ordered by impact108 109## Recommendation Rules110 111- Recommend at most 1-2 highest-value ideas per category.112- Favor skills with obvious user intent and business value:113  - setup audit114  - billing/customer ops115  - issue/program ops116  - Google Workspace ops117  - deployment/ops control118- If a connector is company-specific, recommend it only when it is genuinely available or clearly useful to the user's workflow.119- If ECC already has a strong primitive, propose a wrapper skill instead of inventing a brand-new subsystem.120 121## Good Outcomes122 123- The user can immediately see what is connected, what is missing, and what ECC should own next.124- Recommendations are specific enough to implement in the repo without another discovery pass.125- The final answer is organized around workflows, not API brands.
