Automated Weekly Self-Audit for Claude Code Environments: Measuring and Fixing Configuration Decay

Short summary

This article presents a self-audit script for Claude Code environments that measures five decay metrics weekly: injected bytes, loaded agents, audit-hook spam, frustration words in transcripts, and tool errors. When any metric exceeds its threshold, the script invokes claude -p to automatically remediate the issue, then re-measures to confirm improvement. The author shares a real incident where hidden dot-directories caused 99 agents to load despite apparent cleanup.
