The instruction itself

5 sections, as written by the author

$ca-doctor — install health

Silent dormancy is the worst failure shape this plugin has: the gates look installed but never fire.

This command proves the active host is healthy and reports every non-OK finding with an exact

remediation.

Flow

  • Resolve the plugin root from this loaded skill path, then run its hooks/doctor.py with Python 3

and present the report verbatim. Do not try an empty plugin-root environment variable first.

  • In an arbiter-enabled repo, attempt git add --all --dry-run via the shell tool. [H-03] means

hooks are firing; execution means CRITICAL: gates dormant.

Remediation ladder

  • Restart Codex so hooks register at session start.
  • Remove and re-add ca-codex@codearbiter, then approve the changed hook set in /hooks.
  • If dormancy was intended, $ca-init opts the repository in.

When NOT to use

  • Scaffold state only → $ca-init --check.
  • Project progress, not install health → $ca-status.

Hard gate

Read-only. MUST NOT create markers, stage files, grant trust, weaken a block, or retry the live-fire

probe with different spelling. MUST surface a failed probe as CRITICAL, never as a footnote.

How to use it

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
