Run a comprehensive health check on the framework configuration and project setup.

1. Command Verification

Read CLAUDE.md Commands section. For each configured command (test, lint, format, build, typecheck):

<IF condition="command is configured (not placeholder)"> Run the command in dry-run or check mode (e.g., `npm test --dry-run`, `ruff check --quiet .`). Report: PASS if it executes, FAIL if it errors, SKIP if not configured. </IF> <ELSE> Report: NOT CONFIGURED — suggest running `/bootstrap` to detect. </ELSE>

2. Hook Dependencies

For each hook in .claude/settings.json:

• Verify the hook script file exists and is executable
• For post-edit-format.sh: check if at least one formatter is installed (prettier, biome, ruff, black, rustfmt, gofmt)
• For shell hook scripts: verify git is available (used by stop.sh, session-start.sh)
• Optional: check if jq is available (hooks fall back to sed without it)

Report: PASS/WARN (missing optional tools)/FAIL (missing required tools)

3. Rule Relevance

For each rule in .claude/rules/:

• Read the YAML frontmatter paths: field
• Check if any files in the project match those patterns
• Report: ACTIVE (matches found) / DORMANT (no matches — rule will never trigger)
• Check docs/sessions/.activity-log.jsonl for rule trigger frequency over the last 5 sessions
• Rules that are ACTIVE but have zero trigger events in 5+ sessions: report as REVIEW (candidate for retirement)
• The "pull their weight" test: if a rule never changes AI behavior, it wastes context budget

4. Skill Dependencies & Cross-References

For each skill with depends-on: in YAML frontmatter:

• Verify each dependency skill exists in .claude/skills/
• For skills with requires: — check binaries, commands, and files
• Report: PASS/WARN (optional dependency missing)/FAIL (required dependency missing)

For each skill with calls: in skills-registry.json:

• Verify each called skill exists in .claude/skills/
• Report any broken references (skill calls a non-existent skill)
• Report orphaned skills (not called by any other skill AND not user-invocable) as INFO — may be intentionally standalone

5. Documentation Freshness

Check key framework files:

• CLAUDE.md: Is "Current Focus" section filled (not placeholder)?
• docs/progress.md: Has it been updated this sprint?
• docs/reference/BACKLOG_INDEX.md: Are status counts current?
• docs/reference/GROUND_RULES.md: Does it exist and have principles?

Report: CURRENT/STALE/MISSING for each

6. Git State

• Branch naming follows convention (feat/*, fix/*, hotfix/*, refactor/*, docs/*, test/*, chore/*, or sprint-*)?
• Any stale branches (merged but not deleted)?
• Any unmerged branches with no commits in the last 2 weeks?

  git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format='%(refname:short) %(committerdate:relative)' refs/heads/ | while read branch date; do echo "$branch — last commit $date"; done
  

  Flag branches with no commits in >14 days as "potentially stale — consider merging or deleting"
• Remote configured and accessible?

7. Skill Conformance

Execute scripts/validate-skills.sh directly — do NOT read source first.

bash .claude/skills/doctor/scripts/validate-skills.sh

Reports per-skill conformance: YAML frontmatter, line budget, required sections, reference budgets, registry version match. Include results in the health report under a "Skill Conformance" section.

8. Skill Usage Analytics

Parse docs/sessions/.activity-log.jsonl for entries with "type":"skill":

# Extract skill invocation data from activity log
grep '"type":"skill"' docs/sessions/.activity-log.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "No skill data"

• Count invocations per skill name over all available log data
• Find the most recent invocation timestamp per skill
• List all skill directories from .claude/skills/ (excluding SKILLS_INVENTORY.md, SKILL_TEMPLATE.md, and non-directory entries)
• Cross-reference invocations with available skills to classify:
  • ACTIVE: Invoked at least once in the log
  • DORMANT: Skill directory exists, user-invocable, but never invoked
  • FREQUENT: Invoked 5+ times (top skills)
• Note: Skills not in the log may still be useful — they may not have been needed yet. DORMANT is informational, not a problem.

9. Profile & Hook Status

Report the current project profile and hook configuration:

echo "Project profile: $(cat .claude/hooks/state/project-profile 2>/dev/null || echo 'standard (default)')"
echo "EXOSUIT_PROJECT_PROFILE=${EXOSUIT_PROJECT_PROFILE:-<not set, reading from CLAUDE.md>}"
echo "EXOSUIT_HOOK_PROFILE=${EXOSUIT_HOOK_PROFILE:-<derived from project profile>}"
echo "EXOSUIT_DISABLED_HOOKS=${EXOSUIT_DISABLED_HOOKS:-<none>}"
echo "EXOSUIT_EXPLAIN_MODE=${EXOSUIT_EXPLAIN_MODE:-brief}"
echo "EXOSUIT_STOP_MAX_ITERATIONS=${EXOSUIT_STOP_MAX_ITERATIONS:-5}"

• Show current project profile and its source (env var, CLAUDE.md **Profile:** line, or default)
• Show derived hook profile and whether it was explicitly overridden
• Profile implications:
  • lean: minimal hooks, simplified story-cycle (Plan→Build→Verify), no quality agents, no sprint specs
  • standard: standard hooks, full 8-phase story-cycle, 3 quality agents, full docs
  • strict: strict hooks, all phases mandatory for all stories, 5 quality agents + integration-tester, audit trail
• List any disabled hooks
• Verify lib/hook-guard.sh exists and is executable
• Show effective stop iteration limit (strict defaults to 10)

10. Readiness Progress

If docs/reference/READINESS_REPORT.md exists, compare the bootstrap baseline against current project state:

1. Read and parse the readiness assessment table (Principle / Status / Detail)
2. For each principle classified as ⚠️ Risk or ✗ Missing, re-evaluate using data from sections 1–9:
   • TDD-first → Test command (§1) + run coverage tool if available
   • Sprint-based / Git-disciplined → Git state (§6)
   • Verification-driven → Test command passes (§1)
   • CI-enforced → Check for .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, .circleci/, Jenkinsfile
   • Secrets-aware → Post-edit hook (§2) + .env* in .gitignore
   • Anti-slop → code-slop.md rule exists (§3)
   • Quality gates → Formatter + linter + coverage + typecheck all available (§1)
   • Context-efficient → Source files >500 LOC: find . -name '*.{ext}' -not -path '*/node_modules/*' | xargs wc -l | awk '$1>500 && !/total$/' | wc -l
   • Documentation-lean → Core docs populated (§5)
   • Pre-commit hooks → .pre-commit-config.yaml, .husky/, or lefthook.yml exists
   • Type-safe → Typecheck command works (§1)
   • Contract-first / API-documented → API spec files + API_DOCUMENTATION.md (skip if no API detected)
   • Decisions-documented → docs/adr/ has ≥1 accepted ADR
3. Classify each as ✓ Ready, ⚠️ Risk, or ✗ Missing using bootstrap's classification rules

If the file does not exist, report: "No readiness baseline — run /bootstrap to generate docs/reference/READINESS_REPORT.md."

_Only rows for principles that were Risk or Missing at bootstrap. Omit Ready principles._

### Overall: X/Y checks passed — [HEALTHY / NEEDS ATTENTION / ACTION REQUIRED]

Next Steps

Based on findings, suggest:

• /bootstrap — if commands or hooks need configuration
• Specific fixes for any FAIL items
• /weekly-maintenance — if documentation is stale
• Foundation stories from E00-foundation.md — if readiness gaps persist
