The Audit Prep Assistant is designed to streamline the preparation of codebases for security reviews by following Trail of Bits' security checklist. It addresses the common challenge of ensuring a codebase is secure, well-documented, and easy to review before an audit. By guiding developers through structured steps, it reduces the likelihood of overlooked vulnerabilities, improves maintainability, and ensures that reviewers can focus on critical security issues rather than administrative or organizational gaps in the code. This skill is particularly valuable in high-stakes environments where audits are required for compliance, security certifications, or risk management.

The skill offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities, including setting review goals, running static analysis tools for languages such as Solidity, Rust, and Go, increasing test coverage, and identifying dead code. It also emphasizes code accessibility by generating detailed file lists, build instructions, and highlighting boilerplate code. Additionally, it supports extensive documentation generation, including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, user stories, on-chain/off-chain assumptions, actor roles, and function-level documentation. Optional features like video walkthroughs and glossaries help further clarify complex workflows and domain-specific terminology, ensuring that both internal and external stakeholders can understand the system architecture and security posture.

This skill is ideal for development teams preparing for security audits, particularly those working in Solidity, Rust, Go, or mixed-language projects. Use cases include pre-audit preparation, internal code quality reviews, or any scenario where a systematic approach to improving security readiness and documentation is required. Target users include security engineers, auditors, project leads, and developers responsible for maintaining high code quality and adherence to security best practices, helping them achieve a smoother, more effective audit process.
