Ops Doctor

davepoon/ops-doctor

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.

Runtime Context

Before diagnosing, load:

  • Preferences: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — check all configured channels and services
  • Daemon health: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — primary diagnostic input
  • Secrets: Verify secret resolution chain works: Doppler MCP → env → Doppler CLI → password manager

OPS ► DOCTOR

CLI/API Reference

ops-doctor bin script

| 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 |

Key files read by diagnostics

| 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 |


Phase 1 — Run diagnostics

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":[]}'

Parse the JSON output. Display a summary:

Agent Teams support

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:

  • Fix agents work in parallel on different issue categories without stepping on each other
  • You can prioritize: "fix manifest errors first, then permissions"
  • Agents share context so a manifest fix can inform the registry repair

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.

Phase 2 — Decision

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."

Phase 3 — Post-fix verification

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.


Native tool usage

WebSearch — known issue lookup

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.

WebFetch — MCP health check

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".

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take davepoon/ops-doctor from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

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.
