Run the full audit on a Kubernetes Operator repository:

1. Validate every CRD YAML against operator-pattern best practices
2. Lint every Go controller's reconcile function for anti-patterns
3. Score the operator against OperatorHub Capability Levels (1-5)
4. Output a markdown report with pass/fail per check and concrete next steps

## Usage

```
/operator-audit
/operator-audit --operator-dir ./my-operator
/operator-audit --crd-dir ./config/crd --controller-dir ./controllers
```

## Implementation

```bash
SKILL=engineering/kubernetes-operator/skills/kubernetes-operator
DIR="${OPERATOR_DIR:-.}"

echo "## CRD validation"
python "$SKILL/scripts/crd_validator.py" --crd "$DIR/config/crd" || true

echo ""
echo "## Reconcile lint"
python "$SKILL/scripts/reconcile_lint.py" --controller "$DIR/controllers" || python "$SKILL/scripts/reconcile_lint.py" --controller "$DIR/internal/controller" || true

echo ""
echo "## Capability audit"
python "$SKILL/scripts/operator_capability_audit.py" --operator-dir "$DIR"
```

## Output

A markdown report with:

- **CRD findings** per file: FAIL / WARN / PASS for each check
- **Reconcile findings**: line-numbered anti-patterns
- **Current capability level** + concrete advancement steps

## Pre-conditions

- Run from a Kubernetes Operator repository
- Go controllers expected at `controllers/` or `internal/controller/`
- CRDs expected at `config/crd/` (kubebuilder layout)
- `kubernetes-operator` skill installed

## Post-conditions

- Markdown report streamed to terminal
- Exit code 0 if all PASS; 1 if any FAIL
