ISO 9001 Audit Pro (2026 and 2015)

Auditing a Quality Management System (QMS) against ISO 9001:2015 or the new ISO 9001:2026 is a labor-intensive process prone to inconsistent grading and missed clause requirements. This skill automates the heavy lifting of evidence review and report generation for internal auditors and quality consultants. It processes QMS documentation, interview notes, and records to produce professional, audit-ready deliverables.

<h2>What it does</h2> - **Automated Evidence Mapping** scans provided documents, records, and interview notes to map objective evidence against specific ISO 9001 clauses. - **Tailored Checklist Generation** builds organization-specific audit checklists, including specialized sector-pack questions for various industries. - **Findings & Grading** identifies and categorizes findings as Major NC, Minor NC, or Opportunity for Improvement (OFI) based on a rigorous grading framework. - **Report Construction** generates full Excel audit workbooks and client-ready Word reports containing executive summaries, CAPA plans, and consistency logs. - **Transition Assessment** performs specific gap analysis for organizations moving from ISO 9001:2015 to the ISO 9001:2026 standard. <h2>How it works</h2> 1. Supply the QMS documentation, site details, and audit mode (e.g., Internal Audit, Gap Analysis, or Transition Assessment). 2. The skill inventories evidence and performs a clause-by-clause assessment using the `clause-bank.md` reference. 3. It identifies gaps, generates corrective actions, and writes the structured `audit.json` file. 4. Run the provided Python scripts in the `scripts/` folder to compile the JSON data into formatted `.xlsx` and `.docx` files. <h2>Frameworks & tools</h2> This skill uses Python for report generation, utilizing `openpyxl` for Excel workbooks and `python-docx` for Word documents. It supports ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 9001:2026 standards. <h2>Why this beats prompting it yourself</h2> Standard prompting often misses the nuances of clause-specific requirements or fails to maintain traceability between evidence and findings. This skill enforces a strict schema that ensures no mandatory documented information is overlooked and that grading remains consistent across the entire QMS. <h2>Use cases</h2> - Conduct a formal internal audit to prepare for certification body surveillance. - Perform a gap analysis for a new QMS to determine certification readiness. - Assess an existing 2015-certified system against 2026 requirements. - Verify the closure of previous audit findings through a follow-up audit. <h2>Known limitations</h2> Evidence provided only as documents without interview notes will result in 'NV' (Not Verified) markings for implementation-heavy clauses. Requires local Python environment to run report scripts.
