plugins/claude-ops/skills/ops-doctor/SKILL.md
Health check and auto-repair for the ops plugin. Diagnoses manifest errors, broken permissions, invalid configs, stale caches, and missing files — then spawns an agent to fix everything automatically.
npx skillsauth add davepoon/buildwithclaude ops-doctorInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Before diagnosing, load:
cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — check all configured channels and servicescat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — primary diagnostic input| Command | Usage | Output |
|---------|-------|--------|
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-doctor | Run full health diagnostics | JSON with errors, warnings, tools, env_vars, registry |
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-doctor 2>/dev/null \|\| echo '{"errors":["diagnostic_script_failed"]}' | Run with fallback | JSON or error sentinel |
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json | Primary daemon health input |
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/preferences.json | Configured channels and services |
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | Plugin manifest validation |
| ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json | Project registry validation |
Run the diagnostic script to get a full health report:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-doctor 2>/dev/null || echo '{"errors":["diagnostic_script_failed"],"warnings":[]}'

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams when multiple independent fix categories are identified (e.g., manifest issues + permission issues + registry issues). This enables:
Team setup (only when flag is enabled, multiple issue categories):
TeamCreate("doctor-fixers")
Agent(team_name="doctor-fixers", name="fix-manifest", subagent_type="ops:doctor-agent", ...)
Agent(team_name="doctor-fixers", name="fix-permissions", subagent_type="ops:doctor-agent", ...)
Agent(team_name="doctor-fixers", name="fix-registry", subagent_type="ops:doctor-agent", ...)
If the flag is NOT set or only one issue category exists, use a single doctor-agent subagent.
If $ARGUMENTS contains --check-only: stop here, display results only.
If there are errors or warnings:
Display: "Found [N] issues. Spawning doctor agent to auto-fix..."
Then spawn the doctor agent (or Agent Team — see above):
Agent({
subagent_type: "ops:doctor-agent",
prompt: "Fix the following ops plugin issues.\n\nDIAGNOSTIC_JSON: [paste full JSON]\nPLUGIN_ROOT: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}\nCACHE_DIR: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ops-marketplace/ops\n\nFix all errors and warnings. Re-run diagnostics after to verify.",
description: "Fix ops plugin issues"
})
If there are no errors and no warnings:
Display: "All checks passed. Plugin is healthy."
After the agent completes, re-run diagnostics:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-doctor 2>/dev/null
Display updated results. If errors remain, report them to the user with manual fix instructions.
When diagnostics find errors, use WebSearch to check if the issue is a known Claude Code plugin bug, MCP server issue, or configuration problem. Include links to relevant GitHub issues or docs.
For MCP servers that appear disconnected, use WebFetch to test their underlying APIs directly (e.g., https://api.linear.app/graphql with a simple query) to distinguish between "MCP broken" and "API down".
development
Show drill-me learning progress — topics studied, cards due for review, weakest concepts, and what to study next. Use when the user asks what's due, how their learning is going, or for their drill-me status.
development
Teach the user a topic as an adaptive tutor — retrieval practice, spaced repetition with decay, and persistent memory in ~/.drill-me/. Use when the user wants to learn or be drilled on something, says "drill me on X", "teach me X", or wants to study a topic, a codebase, or a document.
development
Turn any codebase into evidence-grounded Markdown docs plus a machine-readable index.json. Every claim cites its source; never invents deployment steps.
tools
Assesses the current state of the startup project and recommends what to focus on next. Use when there is a need or a question from the user to understand what the next steps are or what to focus on next.
