Task: Run Installation Diagnostics

You are the OMC Doctor - diagnose and fix installation issues.

Step 1: Check Plugin Version

# Get installed and latest versions (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.copilot'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omg','oh-my-copilot');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));console.log('Installed:',v.length?v[v.length-1]:'(none)')}catch{console.log('Installed: (none)')}"
npm view oh-my-copilot version 2>/dev/null || echo "Latest: (unavailable)"

Diagnosis:

• If no version installed: CRITICAL - plugin not installed
• If INSTALLED != LATEST: WARN - outdated plugin
• If multiple versions exist: WARN - stale cache

Step 2: Check for Legacy Hooks in settings.json

Read both ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.copilot}/settings.json (profile-level) and ./.copilot/settings.json (project-level) and check if there's a "hooks" key with entries like:

• bash ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/hooks/keyword-detector.sh
• bash ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/hooks/persistent-mode.sh
• bash ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/hooks/session-start.sh

Diagnosis:

• If found: CRITICAL - legacy hooks causing duplicates

Step 3: Check for Legacy Bash Hook Scripts

ls -la "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/hooks/*.sh 2>/dev/null

Diagnosis:

• If keyword-detector.sh, persistent-mode.sh, session-start.sh, or stop-continuation.sh exist: WARN - legacy scripts (can cause confusion)

Step 4: Check copilot-instructions.md

# Check if copilot-instructions.md exists
ls -la "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/copilot-instructions.md 2>/dev/null

# Check for OMC markers (<!-- OMG:START --> is the canonical marker)
grep -q "<!-- OMG:START -->" "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/copilot-instructions.md" 2>/dev/null && echo "Has OMC config" || echo "Missing OMC config in copilot-instructions.md"

# Check copilot-instructions.md (or deterministic companion) version marker and compare with latest installed plugin cache version
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.copilot');const base=p.join(d,'copilot-instructions.md');let baseContent='';try{baseContent=f.readFileSync(base,'utf8')}catch{};let candidates=[base];let referenced='';const importMatch=baseContent.match(/copilot-[^ )]*\.md/);if(importMatch){referenced=p.join(d,importMatch[0]);candidates.push(referenced)}else{const defaultCompanion=p.join(d,'copilot-omc.md');if(f.existsSync(defaultCompanion))candidates.push(defaultCompanion);try{const others=f.readdirSync(d).filter(n=>/^copilot-.*\.md$/i.test(n)).sort().map(n=>p.join(d,n));for(const o of others){if(candidates.includes(o)===false)candidates.push(o)}}catch{}};let instrV='(missing)';let instrSource='(none)';for(const file of candidates){try{const c=f.readFileSync(file,'utf8');const m=c.match(/<!--\s*OMC:VERSION:([^\s]+)\s*-->/i);if(m){instrV=m[1];instrSource=file;break}}catch{}};if(instrV==='(missing)'&&candidates.length>0){instrV='(missing marker)';instrSource='scanned deterministic copilot-instructions sources';};let pluginV='(none)';try{const b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omg','oh-my-copilot');const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));pluginV=v.length?v[v.length-1]:'(none)';}catch{};console.log('copilot-instructions.md OMC version:',instrV);console.log('OMC version source:',instrSource);console.log('Latest cached plugin version:',pluginV);if(instrV==='(missing)'||instrV==='(missing marker)'||pluginV==='(none)'){console.log('VERSION CHECK SKIPPED: missing OMC marker or plugin cache')}else if(instrV===pluginV){console.log('VERSION MATCH: copilot-instructions.md and plugin cache are aligned')}else{console.log('VERSION DRIFT: copilot-instructions.md and plugin versions differ')}"

# Check companion files for file-split pattern (e.g. copilot-omc.md)
find "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'copilot-*.md' -print 2>/dev/null
while IFS= read -r f; do
  [ -f "$f" ] && grep -q "<!-- OMG:START -->" "$f" 2>/dev/null && echo "Has OMC config in companion: $f"
done < <(find "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'copilot-*.md' 2>/dev/null)

# Check if copilot-instructions.md references a companion file
grep -o "copilot-[^ )]*\.md" "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}/copilot-instructions.md" 2>/dev/null

Diagnosis:

• If copilot-instructions.md missing: CRITICAL - copilot-instructions.md not configured
• If <!-- OMG:START --> found in copilot-instructions.md: OK
• If <!-- OMG:START --> found in a companion file (e.g. copilot-omc.md): OK - file-split pattern detected
• If no OMC markers in copilot-instructions.md or any companion file: WARN - outdated copilot-instructions.md
• If OMC:VERSION marker is missing from deterministic copilot-instructions source scan (base + referenced companion): WARN - cannot verify copilot-instructions.md freshness
• If copilot-instructions.md OMC version != Latest cached plugin version: WARN - version drift detected (run omcp update or omcp setup)

Step 5: Check Ralph Ruby Dependency

Ralph workflows require Ruby. Check for Ruby explicitly so fresh installations get actionable guidance instead of a later opaque Ralph failure.

if command -v ruby >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "Ruby for Ralph: $(ruby --version 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
else
  echo "Ruby for Ralph: MISSING"
  echo "Install Ruby before using Ralph. Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt update && sudo apt install ruby-full"
  echo "macOS: brew install ruby"
fi

Diagnosis:

• If Ruby is found: OK - Ralph dependency present
• If Ruby is missing: WARN - Ralph workflows may fail until Ruby is installed

Step 6: Check for Stale Plugin Cache

# Count versions in cache (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.copilot'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omg','oh-my-copilot');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x));console.log(v.length+' version(s):',v.join(', '))}catch{console.log('0 versions')}"

Diagnosis:

• If > 1 version: WARN - multiple cached versions (cleanup recommended)

Step 7: Check for Legacy Curl-Installed Content

Check for legacy agents, commands, and skills installed via curl (before plugin system). Important: Only flag files whose names match actual plugin-provided names. Do NOT flag user's custom agents/commands/skills that are unrelated to OMC.

# Check for legacy agents directory
ls -la "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/agents/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for legacy commands directory
ls -la "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/commands/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for legacy skills directory
ls -la "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/skills/ 2>/dev/null

Diagnosis:

• If ~/.copilot/agents/ exists with files matching plugin agent names: WARN - legacy agents (now provided by plugin)
• If ~/.copilot/commands/ exists with files matching plugin command names: WARN - legacy commands (now provided by plugin)
• If ~/.copilot/skills/ exists with files matching plugin skill names: WARN - legacy skills (now provided by plugin)
• If custom files exist that do NOT match plugin names: OK - these are user custom content, do not flag them

Known plugin agent names (check agents/ for these): architect.md, document-specialist.md, explore.md, executor.md, debugger.md, planner.md, analyst.md, critic.md, verifier.md, test-engineer.md, designer.md, writer.md, qa-tester.md, scientist.md, security-reviewer.md, code-reviewer.md, git-master.md, code-simplifier.md

Known plugin skill names (check skills/ for these): ai-slop-cleaner, ask, autopilot, cancel, cccg, configure-notifications, deep-interview, deepinit, external-context, hud, skillify, learner, mcp-setup, omc-doctor, omc-setup, omc-teams, plan, project-session-manager, ralph, ralplan, release, sciomc, setup, skill, team, ultraqa, ultrawork, visual-verdict, writer-memory

Known plugin command names (check commands/ for these): ultrawork.md, deepsearch.md

Step 7: Check Permission Allowlist

Read ~/.copilot/settings.local.json (respecting COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR) and verify permissions.allow contains the expected Tier 1+2 tools:

node -e "
const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir();
const d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.copilot');
const fp=p.join(d,'settings.local.json');
if(!f.existsSync(fp)){console.log('settings.local.json not found');process.exit()}
try{
  const s=JSON.parse(f.readFileSync(fp,'utf-8'));
  const allow=s?.permissions?.allow;
  if(!Array.isArray(allow)){console.log('permissions.allow missing or not an array');process.exit()}
  const tier12=['lsp_hover','lsp_goto_definition','lsp_find_references','lsp_document_symbols',
    'lsp_workspace_symbols','lsp_diagnostics','lsp_diagnostics_directory','lsp_servers',
    'ast_grep_search','notepad_read','notepad_stats','state_read','state_list_active',
    'state_get_status','project_memory_read','notepad_write_priority','notepad_write_working',
    'notepad_write_manual','notepad_prune','state_write','state_clear','project_memory_write',
    'project_memory_add_note','project_memory_add_directive','ast_grep_replace',
    'lsp_prepare_rename','lsp_rename','lsp_code_actions','lsp_code_action_resolve','python_repl'];
  const missing=tier12.filter(t=>!allow.some(e=>e.includes(t)));
  if(missing.length===0){console.log('All Tier 1+2 tools present ('+allow.length+' entries)')}
  else{console.log('Missing tools: '+missing.join(', '))}
}catch(e){console.log('Parse error: '+e.message)}
"

Diagnosis:

• If settings.local.json not found: WARN - permissions not configured (run /omc-setup)
• If permissions.allow missing: WARN - allowlist not written (run /omc-setup)
• If tools missing: WARN - allowlist incomplete; setup-maintenance will auto-heal on next session start, or run /omc-setup to fix immediately

Auto-Fix (if user confirms)

If issues found, ask user: "Would you like me to fix these issues automatically?"

If yes, apply fixes:

Fix: Legacy Hooks in settings.json

Remove the "hooks" section from ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.copilot}/settings.json (keep other settings intact)

Fix: Legacy Bash Scripts

rm -f "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/hooks/keyword-detector.sh
rm -f "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/hooks/persistent-mode.sh
rm -f "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/hooks/session-start.sh
rm -f "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/hooks/stop-continuation.sh

Fix: Outdated Plugin

# Clear plugin cache (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(require('os').homedir(),'.copilot'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omg','oh-my-copilot');try{f.rmSync(b,{recursive:true,force:true});console.log('Plugin cache cleared. Restart Copilot CLI to fetch latest version.')}catch{console.log('No plugin cache found')}"

Fix: Stale Cache (multiple versions)

# Keep only latest version (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.copilot'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omg','oh-my-copilot');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));v.slice(0,-1).forEach(x=>f.rmSync(p.join(b,x),{recursive:true,force:true}));console.log('Removed',v.length-1,'old version(s)')}catch(e){console.log('No cache to clean')}"

Fix: Missing/Outdated copilot-instructions.md

Fetch latest from GitHub and write to ${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.copilot}/copilot-instructions.md:

WebFetch(url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobinNorberg/oh-my-copilot/main/docs/copilot-instructions.md", prompt: "Return the complete raw markdown content exactly as-is")

Fix: Legacy Curl-Installed Content

Remove legacy agents, commands, and skills directories (now provided by plugin):

# Backup first (optional - ask user)
# mv "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/agents "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/agents.bak
# mv "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/commands "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/commands.bak
# mv "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/skills "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/skills.bak

# Or remove directly
rm -rf "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/agents
rm -rf "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/commands
rm -rf "${COPILOT_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.copilot}"/skills

Note: Only remove if these contain oh-my-copilot-related files. If user has custom agents/commands/skills, warn them and ask before removing.
