Measuring file sizes and formats requires Bash

This skill's report asks for file sizes against budgets, texture dimensions (power-of-two), audio sample rates, and last-modified times for orphan detection. None of those are obtainable from Read/Glob/Grep — they need stat or a binary header read, so Bash is declared above for exactly that.

If you cannot take a measurement, the cell is NOT ASSESSED, never an estimate. A size budget table filled from guesses is worse than an empty one: it looks like evidence. This is a live fabrication vector even on a project full of real assets: if the template demands tables of numbers the tool allowlist cannot produce, the only way to complete it is to invent them.

Insufficient input — check this before producing any report

If the inputs this skill needs do not exist, the answer is "could not run" — not a filled-in report. Check first, and stop if the check fails.

1. List the inputs this skill reads (data files, prior reports, profiler output, test results, registries, source code).
2. For each, record FOUND or ABSENT — not "assumed present".
3. If any input required for a section is ABSENT, that section is NOT ASSESSED — NO DATA. Do not estimate it, do not infer it from an adjacent artifact, and do not leave a mandated cell to be filled by whoever reads the template next.
4. If every required input is ABSENT, stop and report NOT ASSESSED — NO DATA as the whole verdict, naming what was missing and which skill produces it.

A verdict of NOT ASSESSED is a success. It is the correct, useful answer to "what does the data say?" when there is no data. The failure mode this prevents is specific and has been observed in practice: report templates whose verdict enum had no "could not run" state produced false clean passes — an asset audit returning COMPLIANT on a project with no assets and no standards, and a performance profile reporting ">99% headroom against a 16.67ms budget" with zero profiler data and no budget ever set.

Absence of evidence is never evidence of absence. A scan that finds no matches because there are no files to scan has not verified anything. Say which of the two happened — a reader cannot tell from a green result.

Phase 1: Read Standards

Read the art bible or asset standards from the relevant design docs and the CLAUDE.md naming conventions.

---

Phase 2: Scan Asset Directories

Scan the target asset directory using Glob:

• assets/art/**/* for art assets
• assets/audio/**/* for audio assets
• assets/vfx/**/* for VFX assets
• assets/shaders/**/* for shaders
• assets/data/**/* for data files

---

Phase 3: Run Compliance Checks

Naming conventions:

• Art: [category]_[name]_[variant]_[size].[ext]
• Audio: [category]_[context]_[name]_[variant].[ext]
• All files must be lowercase with underscores

File standards:

• Textures: Power-of-two dimensions, correct format (PNG for UI, compressed for 3D), within size budget
• Audio: Correct sample rate, format (OGG for SFX, OGG/MP3 for music), within duration limits
• Data: Valid JSON/YAML, schema-compliant

Orphaned assets: Search code for references to each asset file. Flag any with no references.

Missing assets: Search code for asset references and verify the files exist.

Phase 4: Output Audit Report

# Asset Audit Report -- [Category] -- [Date]

## Summary
- **Total assets scanned**: [N]
- **Naming violations**: [N]
- **Size violations**: [N]
- **Format violations**: [N]
- **Orphaned assets**: [N]
- **Missing assets**: [N]
- **Overall health**: [NOT ASSESSED / CLEAN / MINOR ISSUES / NEEDS ATTENTION]

## Naming Violations
| File | Expected Pattern | Issue |
|------|-----------------|-------|

## Size Violations
| File | Budget | Actual | Overage |
|------|--------|--------|---------|

## Format Violations
| File | Expected Format | Actual Format |
|------|----------------|---------------|

## Orphaned Assets (no code references found)
| File | Last Modified | Size | Recommendation |
|------|-------------|------|---------------|

## Missing Assets (referenced but not found)
| Reference Location | Expected Path |
|-------------------|---------------|

## Recommendations
[Prioritized list of fixes]

## Verdict: [NOT ASSESSED / COMPLIANT / WARNINGS / NON-COMPLIANT]

This skill is read-only — it produces a report but does not write files.

Phase 5: Next Steps

• Fix naming violations using the patterns defined in CLAUDE.md.
• Delete confirmed orphaned assets after manual review.
• Run /content-audit to cross-check asset counts against GDD-specified requirements.
