Overview
AuditAgent performs a structured 6-stage audit of any text document. Each stage is an independent LLM-powered module that examines the document from a different angle. The stages run sequentially with context flowing from one to the next. A quantitative scorer aggregates findings into a weighted composite score (0-100) with pass/fail determination, severity distribution, red flag summaries, and traffic-light visualization. Reports are produced in structured text, self-contained HTML, and machine-readable JSON formats.
Capability Boundaries
What this tool does:
- Run a 6-stage audit pipeline on any document:
| # | Stage | Weight | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Coherence Check | 0.20 | Detects internal contradictions, inconsistencies, and logical gaps. |
| 2 | Claim Extraction | 0.15 | Identifies factual claims, assertions, and their supporting evidence. |
| 3 | Assumption Surfacing | 0.15 | Surfaces unstated assumptions, implicit premises, and hidden axioms. |
| 4 | Stakeholder Analysis | 0.15 | Identifies affected parties, their interests, and power dynamics. |
| 5 | Methodology Review | 0.20 | Evaluates methods, data quality, research design, and analytical rigor. |
| 6 | Bias Detection | 0.15 | Detects framing bias, selection bias, confirmation bias, and loaded language. |
- Quantitative scoring with:
- Per-stage scores (0-100) computed from finding severities.
- Weighted composite score with configurable pass/fail threshold (default: 70).
- Severity distribution histogram (critical, high, medium, low, info).
- Red flag extraction (critical + high findings across all stages).
- Traffic-light map (green >= 80, yellow 50-79, red < 50).
- Multi-format reporting:
- Structured text report with per-stage findings, severity levels, evidence quotes, locations, and recommendations.
- Executive summary (1-page, character-limited).
- Action items list sorted by priority.
- Self-contained HTML report with color-coded severity badges, traffic-light stage indicators, severity distribution bars, and finding cards with evidence blockquotes.
- Machine-readable JSON export.
- Customizable stage weights and pass threshold via
AuditScorerconfiguration.
What this tool does NOT do:
- It does NOT audit code, financial statements, or legal contracts with domain-specific rules.
- It does NOT guarantee factual correctness of findings -- LLM output is probabilistic.
- It does NOT modify or annotate the original document.
- It does NOT run in real-time -- it is a batch pipeline.
Trigger Conditions
Use this skill when the user:
- Provides a document (text, article, report, paper) and asks for an audit, review, or quality assessment.
- Wants to identify logical inconsistencies, unstated assumptions, or biases in a text.
- Needs stakeholder analysis or methodology evaluation for a policy document or research paper.
- Asks to "audit this document", "review document quality", "check for bias", "extract claims", "identify assumptions", "文档审计", or "审查文档".
Usage
Python API
from audit_agent import AuditAgent
agent = AuditAgent(model="local") # or model="qwen2.5:7b"
result = agent.audit("path/to/document.txt")
# Check results
print(result.executive_summary())
# Export reports
result.export_html("output/report.html")
result.export_json("output/report.json")
result.export_text("output/report.txt")
Configuration
The 6-stage pipeline is defined in audit_agent/stages.py and audit_agent/prompts.py. Each stage has:
- A unique stage_name mapping to its prompt template.
- An __init__ that accepts an LLM client.
- A run(document, prior_stage_output, model_name) method that executes the stage.
Scoring Configuration
from audit_agent.scoring import AuditScorer
scorer = AuditScorer(
weights={
"coherence_check": 0.20,
"claim_extraction": 0.15,
"assumption_surfacing": 0.15,
"stakeholder_analysis": 0.15,
"methodology_review": 0.20,
"bias_detection": 0.15,
},
pass_threshold=70.0,
)
Dependencies
- LLM backend: OpenAI-compatible endpoint (default: Ollama with qwen2.5:7b)
- PyYAML for rules configuration.

FAQ
Q: What model should I use?
A: Default is Qwen2.5:7b via Ollama. Any OpenAI-compatible model works. Larger models may produce better quality audits, especially for complex documents.
Q: Can I audit documents in any language?
A: Yes. The stage prompts are in Chinese and the system prompt instructs the LLM to work with the document's language. Multi-language documents are supported.
Q: What does a "pass" mean?
A: A composite score of 70 or above (configurable) indicates the document passed the audit. This is a relative quality metric, not an absolute guarantee.
Q: How long does an audit take?
A: Each of the 6 stages makes an LLM call. With a local Ollama model, expect 30-120 seconds total depending on document length and hardware.
Q: Can I skip certain stages?
A: The pipeline expects all 6 stages. To skip a stage, you would need to modify the scoring weights to zero out unwanted stages and adjust the orchestrator.
