name: exit-consistency-audit description: Runs and interprets exit graph consistency scans (dangling exits, orphan locations, missing reciprocal exits). Use when exits/navigation look wrong or when changing location graph data.

Exit consistency audit

Use this skill when you are asked to:

• Debug traversal anomalies (players can’t return, one-way exits, broken navigation).
• Validate exit graph integrity after seeding or migration.
• Produce a JSON report of exit consistency.

What this skill uses

Primary scanner:

• Repo script: scripts/scan-exits-consistency.mjs

Convenience wrapper (recommended):

• scripts/run.mjs

Preconditions

The exit scan runs against Gremlin/Cosmos and relies on built artifacts:

• backend/dist/** (for Gremlin client + persistence config)
• shared/dist/** (for direction utilities)

If those outputs are missing, either:

• run npm run build:backend and npm run build:shared, or
• run the wrapper with --build.

Workflow

1. Ensure build artifacts exist (or use --build).
2. Run the scan.
3. Interpret results:
   • Dangling exits: must be fixed (exit points to non-existent location)
   • Missing reciprocal exits: must be fixed (A→B without B→A in the opposite direction)
   • Orphan locations: warning only (may be intentional; verify design intent)
4. If needed, generate a JSON report via --output=<file>.

Examples

• Scan and print JSON to stdout.
• Scan and write report to a file.
• Scan with extra seed locations using --seed-locations=loc1,loc2.

Output contract

The scanner prints:

• JSON results on stdout
• A human-readable summary on stderr

Exit codes:

• 0: pass (no dangling exits / missing reciprocals)
• 1: fail (dangling exits or missing reciprocals present)
