Failure Mode Glossary
Glossary of production-AI failure modes with verbatim operator phrasings. When the user uses any of these phrases or describes a symptom matching them, you'll recognize the pattern and respond with the right framing + MCP routing. Auto-loaded so the buyer-vocabulary is always available.
Cost Overview
Show current production AI cost overview — totals, top spenders by agent, per-provider breakdown, anomaly detection, and time-to-429 rate-limit prediction. Use when the user asks "what's my AI bill", "which agent is burning tokens", "am I about to hit the rate limit", or wants a cost dashboard. Cross-provider — works for Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock, Ollama.

Production Audit
Comprehensive production-AI deployment audit against the 35-pattern catalogue. Calls all 7 MCP servers in parallel — bash-vet, skill-vetter, cost-tracker, silentwatch, health-mcp, upgrade-orch, output-vetter — and synthesizes a one-page report with critical findings, audit score, and remediation recommendations. Use when the user asks "is my AI deployment healthy?", "audit my production AI setup"…
Verify Claim
Verify whether an agent's stated outcome ("I committed and pushed", "tests pass", "I cleaned up the temp dir", "deployment succeeded") matches actual filesystem / git / test state. Catches the chiefofautism failure mode (agent confidently misreports what it did) AND the Codex sandbox-escalation case (agent acknowledges read-only constraint then violates it). Use when you suspect an agent's comple…
Vet Bash
Vet a shell command for production safety BEFORE running it. Catches destructive patterns — rm -rf with unset vars, glob wipeouts, dd/mkfs filesystem destruction, base64-pipe-shell exfil obfuscation, chmod 777 / privilege escalation, force-push, reset --hard. Returns ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK with rule citation. Use when the user pastes a command they're unsure about, OR when reviewing a chain of commands…
Aufgaard
Production AI Operations Suite — 7 MCPs + 13 skills + 6 hooks + 5 monitors. Catches dangerous bash, cost spikes, agent-config attacks, output-action divergence, silent cron failures, supply-chain risks, and unsafe upgrades. Operator cockpit for production AI.
Operator Cheatsheet
One-page operator cheatsheet for the Aufgaard plugin. The "what to check, when, why" reference. Auto-loaded so day-to-day routing is fast. Use as the lightweight summary when the user wants a quick recap of capabilities.
Health Check
Show current AI deployment health overview — gateway status, plugin/skill registry, recent errors, CPU/RAM pressure, OOM history, cron status, disk pressure, upgrade outcome. The "vital signs" panel for a production AI deployment. Use when the user asks "is my deployment healthy", "what's wrong with my agent", "are services up", or wants an at-a-glance status check.
Production Patterns
Reference catalogue of 35 documented production-AI failure patterns. Each pattern has a P-number, name, indicators, root cause, severity, and which Aufgaard MCP catches it. Auto-loaded when discussing reliability, audit, deployment health, specific failure modes, agent safety, or any phrase from the catalogue. Use this skill's content to ground recommendations in named patterns rather than ad-hoc…
Vet Config
Vet an agent-config file or directory (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules.md, .gemini/config, .claude/skills/, .git/hooks/) BEFORE the agent reads it on next session-start. Catches the agent-config-trust-boundary attack class — adversary lands a config file in a PR, agent inherits the override, RCE-equivalent. 24+ rules including PROMPT_INJ, EXFIL, DYNAMIC_EXEC, SECRET_REF, GIT_HOOK_INSTALL. Use…
Vet Skill
Vet a third-party Claude/Cursor/agent skill (or plugin / extension package) BEFORE installing it. Catches malicious payloads — prompt injection patterns, hardcoded webhook exfiltration, encoded payloads, dynamic execution, suspicious dependencies, typosquatted package names. Returns ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK with rule citation. Use when the user is about to install a community skill, when reviewing a PR t…
Audit Rubric
Scoring rubric for evaluating production-AI deployment readiness. The marquee `production-audit` skill uses this rubric to compute the 0-100 score. Auto-loaded so scoring is consistent across sessions and so the user can self-score independently. Use this rubric whenever auditing, reviewing, or quantifying a deployment's production-readiness.
Silent Failures
Show recent silent-failure detections from cron / scheduled jobs. Catches the textbook patterns — exit-0 with empty stdout, length anomalies (output dramatically shorter than baseline), retry storms, action-budget leaks. Use when the user asks "is anything silently broken", "did Friday's cron actually run", "are my scheduled jobs working", or after a downstream consumer reports stale data.
Mcp Tool Quick Reference
Quick reference mapping operator symptoms to the right Aufgaard MCP tool call. Auto-loaded so Claude can route queries to the correct MCP without thinking it through from scratch each time. Use this as the first-resort routing logic when a user describes a symptom, asks "what tool should I use", or when production-audit needs to fan out to specific tools.
Should I Upgrade
Check whether upgrading a package / runtime / model version is safe. Looks up the user-driven regression catalogue (8+ entries from real field reports) AND runs provider-side regression detection (catches Anthropic-April-23-style silent reasoning-effort downgrades). Returns a recommended upgrade path with mitigations. Use before any significant package upgrade, model-version bump, or runtime chan…
