## What it does

This skill checks the Git repository first, then compares Groove versions and runs `/groove-utilities-task-doctor` and `/groove-utilities-memory-doctor`. It also looks for `find-skills`, `agent-browser`, and `pdf-to-markdown`, then verifies Groove symlinks under `.claude/skills/` and `.cursor/skills/`.

For Claude Code, it reads `.claude/settings.json` and checks for six Groove hook entries. When `.cursor/` is present, it performs the matching check in `.cursor/hooks.json`. Results are collected before output, with a per-check status, an overall health message, and a repair command beside each failure.

The skill reports issues but does not repair them. A Git repository is required for the first check, so a project outside Git is reported as unhealthy.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-admin-doctor -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-admin-doctor/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-admin-doctor -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-admin-doctor -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-admin-doctor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-admin-doctor -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-admin-doctor
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-admin-doctor -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-admin-doctor/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- verify that the project is a Git repository
- compare local and installed Groove versions
- find missing companion skills
- check Groove symlinks in `.claude/` and `.cursor/`
- detect missing native hook entries

## Example prompts
- Run every Groove health check in the current repository and list a repair command for each failure.
- Check the companion skills and Groove symlinks for Claude Code and Cursor.
- Inspect the Claude Code and Cursor native hooks, then show the consolidated Groove report.

# groove-admin-doctor

## Outcome

All groove sub-skill health checks are run and a consolidated summary is reported. User knows exactly what is working, what is misconfigured, and what action to take for any failure.

## Acceptance Criteria

- `/groove-utilities-task-doctor` and `/groove-utilities-memory-doctor` are run
- Companion skill presence is checked directly
- Results are shown per sub-skill with pass/fail per check
- Overall status is shown: all healthy, or N issues found
- Each failure includes a specific remediation action

## Output format

```
groove doctor
─────────────────────────────────────
groove
  ✓ git repo: detected
  ✓ groove-version: 0.1.0
  ✓ installed version: 0.1.0
  ✓ up to date

task
  ✓ .groove/index.md present
  ✓ tasks.backend: beans
  ✓ beans installed (v0.x.x)
  ✓ .beans.yml present
  ✓ beans reachable

  ✓ memory path exists (.groove/memory/) [hardcoded]
  ✓ memory dirs exist (.groove/memory/daily/, weekly/, monthly/, git/)

companions
  ✓ find-skills installed
  ✓ agent-browser installed
  ✓ pdf-to-markdown installed

platform symlinks
  ✓ .claude/skills/groove → ../../.agents/skills/groove
  ✗ .cursor/skills/ missing — run: /groove-admin-install

─────────────────────────────────────
1 issue found. Run the suggested commands above to fix.
```

## Constraints

- Run git repo check first, then version check, then `/groove-utilities-task-doctor`, `/groove-utilities-memory-doctor`, companions check in sequence
- Git repo check:
  - Run `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` in the current directory
  - If it succeeds: `✓ git repo: detected`
  - If it fails: `✗ git repo: not a git repository — groove requires a git repo`
- Version check:
  - Read `groove-version:` from `.groove/index.md` (if absent, treat as `0.1.0`)
  - Read `version:` from `skills/groove/SKILL.md`
  - If they differ: `✗ groove-version (<local>) behind installed (<installed>) — run: /groove-admin-update`
- Companions check:
  - Check `ls .agents/skills/find-skills/SKILL.md` — if absent: `✗ find-skills not installed — run: /groove-admin-install`
  - Check `ls .agents/skills/agent-browser/SKILL.md` — if absent: `✗ agent-browser not installed — run: /groove-admin-install`
