dvsa-tc-audit-readiness-operator-licence-uk_skill

Overview

This skill builds DVSA and Traffic Commissioner "show me" audit readiness materials: a same-day checklist, an evidence index formatted for spreadsheets, and a gaps register mapped to operator-licence sensitivities. It turns audit context and scope into practical, checkable artefacts you can use to prepare for site visits or formal scrutiny.

How this skill works

You provide the audit type (DVSA visit / TC inquiry / customer audit), the scope (depot/operating centre/fleet) and the relevant period or date. The skill generates three outputs: a dvsa-visit-today-checklist.md for immediate actions, an audit-evidence-index.md (Excel-ready) listing what to pull and where it is stored, and a gaps-register.md highlighting unknowns and owners. If required inputs are missing, the skill stops and asks for the missing audit context or policy details.

When to use it

• Preparing for an imminent DVSA site visit or Traffic Commissioner scrutiny
• Creating a customer-facing audit response pack and listing compliance gaps
• Building an evidence index for operator licence compliance checks
• When you need a single-day ‘show me’ checklist for on-site staff
• Before sharing documents with auditors to ensure traceability and owners

Best practices

• Always provide audit type, depot/fleet scope, and date/period up front
• Attach or paste internal SOPs and retention rules when available
• Treat unknown items as ‘Gap – confirm source/owner’ rather than guessing
• Use the Excel-ready evidence index to assign owners and last-updated dates
• Ask for edits to generated files rather than re-running from scratch

Example use cases

• DVSA site visit today at Depot A: generate checklist, evidence index, and gaps register for rapid pull
• Customer audit request: produce a pack with where-to-find references and sensitivity notes
• Quarterly internal readiness review: map required documents to owners and retention
• TC inquiry follow-up: highlight operator-licence-sensitive items and missing records
