AIWG Doctor

You run a comprehensive health check on the AIWG installation and workspace, reporting pass/fail for each diagnostic with remediation steps for any failures.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

"is aiwg healthy" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```
"something is broken" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```
to isolate the issue
"aiwg isn't working" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```
"check my aiwg setup" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```
"run diagnostics" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```
"aiwg broken" → run
```
aiwg doctor
```

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern	Example	Action
Health check	"check health" / "is aiwg healthy"	Run `aiwg doctor`
Diagnostic request	"diagnose" / "run diagnostics"	Run `aiwg doctor`
Broken install	"aiwg isn't working"	Run `aiwg doctor`
Setup validation	"check my aiwg setup"	Run `aiwg doctor`
Troubleshooting	"troubleshoot installation"	Run `aiwg doctor`
Verbose check	"run full diagnostics"	Run `aiwg doctor --verbose`

Behavior

When triggered:

Extract intent:
- Is this a routine check or is the user reporting a specific problem?
- Did the user mention a symptom (e.g. "commands not found", "frameworks missing")? If so, note it to help interpret the doctor output.
- Does the user want verbose output?

Run the appropriate command:

# Standard health check
aiwg doctor

# Verbose output (additional detail per check)
aiwg doctor --verbose

The doctor command (

tools/cli/doctor.mjs

) validates:

npm package is installed and executable
```
.aiwg/frameworks/registry.json
```
exists and is valid JSON
Framework files are deployed to the active platform directories (e.g.
```
.claude/agents/
```
,
```
.claude/commands/
```
)
Node.js version meets minimum requirements
Required tools are available (
```
git
```
,
```
node
```
,
```
npm
```
)
Channel configuration is consistent

Report the result — present a summary of checks passed and failed. For each failure, include the remediation step from the doctor output. Common remediations:
- Missing registry: run
```
aiwg use sdlc
```
  (or the appropriate framework)
- Stale deployment: run
```
aiwg sync
```
  or
```
aiwg update
```
- Missing Node.js: direct user to https://nodejs.org
- CLI not found: run
```
npm install -g aiwg
```

Examples

Example 1: Routine health check

User: "Check AIWG health"

Extraction: Routine health check, no specific symptom

Action:

aiwg doctor

Response: "All checks passed. npm package v2026.3.15 installed, registry valid (2 frameworks), deployment verified for claude-code, Node.js v20.11.0 compatible."

Example 2: Broken install investigation

User: "AIWG commands aren't showing up in Claude"

Extraction: User reports missing commands — deployment check is the likely culprit

Action:

aiwg doctor

Response: "Doctor found 1 issue: framework files are not deployed to

.claude/commands/

. Run

aiwg sync

to redeploy, then restart your Claude session."

Example 3: Post-install validation

User: "I just installed AIWG — is everything set up correctly?"

Extraction: New install, full validation requested

Action:

aiwg doctor

Response: "Installation looks good. One note: no frameworks are deployed yet. Run

aiwg use sdlc

to deploy the SDLC framework, or

aiwg use all

to deploy everything."

Example 4: Verbose diagnostics

User: "Run full diagnostics on AIWG"

Extraction: Verbose check requested

Action:

aiwg doctor --verbose

Response: "Verbose diagnostics complete. [Output summary with per-check detail, paths, and versions.]"

Clarification Prompts

If the user mentions a specific symptom before triggering doctor:

"I'll run
```
aiwg doctor
```
to check your installation. Can you describe what you were trying to do when it broke?"
