Diagnose

Diagnose (printed, never transmitted)

A support report the operator can read before anyone else does. This skill PRINTS. It never sends, uploads, posts, mails, or opens an issue, and it has no channel of its own. The operator decides whether any of it is pasted anywhere.

Read-only over everything: no brain file is written, no profile is edited, no connector is re-probed for the sake of this report. The one time it reaches the network is the Update currency section below - a single outbound READ of the latest public version number, never a write and never anything about you. Reading a public release tag is not transmitting your report.

Print this line first, before any collected value:

Nothing below has been transmitted. organic-os collected it locally and printed it here. Read it, remove anything you would rather not share, then decide whether to paste it into an issue.

What to collect

Resolve the brain: registry.get_active() when running interactively; a scheduled run receives the brain path from the routine configuration. Every item below is best-effort - a section that cannot be read prints unknown (<one-line reason>) and the report continues. Missing information is stated, never guessed.

1. Runtime - platform.platform() and platform.python_version(), plus which surface this is (Claude Code CLI or Cowork).
2. PyYAML - present or absent. Try the import; report the outcome, not a path or a version guess.
3. Plugin version - the version field in plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.
4. Brain schema - core.contracts.check_schema(brain_path): the version, whether it is compatible, and the action string it returns.
5. Registry - core.registry.load(): how many sites are registered and which slug is active. The active site's URL is fine to print; the other sites' URLs are not. Print the count, not the list.
6. Connectors - the profile's connectors: block, one line each: the name, the status (verified / unavailable / declined), the context the probe ran in (local-cli, cowork-cloud, ci), and the date it was checked. The context is the load-bearing part - a connector verified from an interactive session is not a claim about the runtime that runs the routines.
7. Setup scorecard - the newest runs/*-setup-scorecard/REPORT.md in the brain, if one exists: its date and the per-check status column. Say "no scorecard recorded" when there is none.
8. Last routine outcome - the newest runs/<date>-*/REPORT.md and its date, plus the tail of the runtime log if one exists (~/.config/organic-os/routine-<name>.log): whether the last run finished, and when.
9. Recent error - the most recent error line from that log or from the last run report, if any. One line, quoted as found.

Update currency (one outbound read of a public version number)

This is the single place diagnose reaches the network, and it reaches it only to READ. It compares the version you are running to the latest version published, so a stuck-on-old install is visible rather than silent. Be plain about what this is and is not: it is an inbound read of a version tag that is already public on GitHub, it carries nothing about you or your site, it is not telemetry, and it happens only because you ran diagnose. The diagnostic report itself is still never transmitted.

1. Running version - the version field in $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json (the same value as item 3).
2. Latest published version - gh release view --json tagName --jq .tagName when the gh CLI is available and authenticated; otherwise a plain GET of https://api.github.com/repos/shalintripathi/organic-os/releases/latest, reading its tag_name field. Both return a public tag such as v0.5.1.
3. If neither is reachable - no network, a rate limit, gh absent and the GET failing - print latest: could not check (<one-line reason>) and stop this section. A missing check is stated, never guessed, and never assumed to mean you are up to date.
4. Decide with core.version.currency(running, latest), which returns one stable word so the ordering is never eyeballed (0.5.10 is newer than 0.5.9):
   • current - print You are on the latest version (<running>).
   • ahead - print You are running <running>, newer than the latest published release (<latest>). Normal on a development checkout.
   • behind - print A newer version is published: <latest> (you are on <running>). Update with: and then the upgrade command on its own line: /plugin update organic-os
   • unknown - treat as case 3 above and print latest: could not check.

When the result is behind, always print this note directly under the upgrade command:

If you run the update and the version above does not change, Claude's plugin updater has downloaded the new files but has not switched to them. Fix: reinstall the plugin - see "Update says success but the version did not change" in plugin/docs/updating.md.

State honestly why diagnose cannot fix this itself: an update that reports success but leaves the running version unchanged is a Claude Code / Cowork plugin-manager behavior, not a defect organic-os can repair from the inside. A plugin does not run during its own update and cannot rewrite the host's active-version pointer. Diagnose can only make the gap visible and point at the remedy in updating.md; do not imply the plugin or this skill can fix the host updater.

These lines join the assembled report and pass through the same redaction scan as everything else before anything prints (see below). The one external value read here, the public latest tag, is scanned along with the rest.

What never goes in

• No credential values, ever. A credential is reported as present or absent and nothing else. Do not read a token, a password, an env var value, or a keychain entry to confirm it - the existence of the file or the variable is the whole answer.
• No full filesystem paths. Relativise: print ~/organic-hq/<slug> and ~/.config/organic-os/<file>, never a real home directory. A path outside those shapes prints as <custom path> plus whether it exists.
• No other site's URL from the registry, and no per-site business data: no keywords, no signals, no item bodies. This is a report about the install, not about the site.

Scan before printing

Assemble the whole report as text first. Then run core.redact.scan(report_text). If it returns findings, print core.redact.summarize(findings) directly under the header, replace each flagged span in the report with its masked excerpt, and name which section carried it.

State the limit in the same breath: the scan is ADVISORY. It reports; it does not block and it does not prevent a leak. A high-tier finding means something credential-shaped reached the assembled report, which is a reason to rotate that credential and to check what put it there, not a sign the guard held. If the scan itself fails, print the report anyway with one line saying the scan did not run - the operator reading their own output is the control that matters.

Then stop

Print the report and end. Do not offer to file it, do not send it through the approval channel, and do not write it into the brain. If the operator wants it in an issue, they paste it themselves - see SUPPORT.md.
