Best use case

identify-inconsistencies is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Identify inconsistencies in the $1 library

Teams using identify-inconsistencies should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

SKILL.md Source

Go gather all the context for the $1 library (per instructions in CLAUDE.md). Be sure to read non_issues.md as well.

Once you've gathered that context, please do the below (and commit when you're finished).

Your task is to identify inconsistencies in the $1 library.

In particular, focus on the code, and look for things that are done in different ways in different places, inconsistent variable/function/class naming, and any other code-level inconsistencies.

Do NOT worry about docstrings, comments, or documentation--focus only on the code itself (those will be covered by another task).

Do NOT worry about inconsistencies between the docs/specs and the code either (those will also be covered by another task).

Do NOT report issues that are already covered by an existing FIXME

Do NOT report issues that are highlighted as non-issues in non_issues.md

After reviewing all the code in the library, think carefully about the most important inconsistencies.

Then put them, in order from most important to least important, into a markdown file in the library's "_tasks/inconsistencies/" folder (make one if you have to)  Name the file "<date>.md` (where you should get "date" by calling this precise command: "date +%Y-%m-%d-%T | tr : -")

For the format of the file, use the following:

```markdown
# Inconsistencies in the $1 library (identified on <date>)
## 1. <Short description of inconsistency>

Description: <detailed description of the inconsistency, including file names and line numbers where applicable>

Recommendation: <your recommendation for how to fix the inconsistency>

Decision: Accept

## 2. <Short description of inconsistency>

Description: <detailed description of the inconsistency, including file names and line numbers where applicable>

Recommendation: <your recommendation for how to fix the inconsistency>

Decision: Accept

...
```

There's no need to commit when you're done (these files are gitignored). Just be sure to create the file in the right location with the right content.
