## What it does

The skill investigates active failures in Goldsky Turbo streaming pipelines. It checks CLI authentication with `goldsky project list`, reads your pipeline inventory via `goldsky turbo list`, and retrieves the last 100 log lines. It catches known failure patterns such as unreachable sinks, column schema mismatches, memory exhaustion, and invalid block boundaries.

Execution adapts to available tools. With the `Bash` tool present, the agent runs diagnostic commands directly and parses the terminal output. Without `Bash`, it generates commands for you to run manually and expects pasted results. After isolating the problem, it prints an evidence-backed report with immediate repair steps.

Job-mode pipelines cannot be paused or restarted; resolving failures on them requires deleting and redeploying. The skill focuses solely on repairing broken pipelines. Authoring new pipelines requires `/turbo-builder`, while general CLI flag lookups belong in `/turbo-operations`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --skill turbo-doctor -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --skill turbo-doctor -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --skill turbo-doctor -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install goldsky-io/goldsky-agent turbo-doctor
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --skill turbo-doctor -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --path skills/turbo-doctor
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add goldsky-io/goldsky-agent --skill turbo-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/goldsky-io/goldsky-agent/tree/HEAD/skills/turbo-doctor/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find the root cause of an error status from recent pipeline logs
- verify and rotate sink secrets without leaking credentials into chat
- restart or redeploy failed pipelines safely using CLI commands
- detect schema mismatches, deserialization errors, and memory limits

## Example prompts
- The eth-indexer pipeline is in an error state, check the logs and diagnose it.
- Our polygon-transfers pipeline has been stuck on starting for 20 minutes, figure out why.
- Diagnose why the base-blocks pipeline stopped receiving incoming data.

# Pipeline Doctor

## Boundaries

- Diagnose and fix EXISTING pipeline problems interactively.
- Do not build new pipelines — that belongs to `/turbo-builder`.
- Do not serve as a command reference. If the user only needs CLI syntax or error pattern lookup, use the `/turbo-operations` skill instead.

Systematically identify and resolve pipeline issues by following a structured diagnostic workflow.

## Mode Detection

Before running any commands, check if you have the `Bash` tool available:

- **If Bash is available** (CLI mode): Execute commands directly and parse output.
- **If Bash is NOT available** (reference mode): Output commands for the user to run. Ask them to paste the output back so you can analyze it and provide recommendations.

## Diagnostic Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps — each builds on the previous one.

### Step 1: Verify Authentication

Run `goldsky project list 2>&1` to check login status.

- **If logged in:** Note the current project and continue.
- **If not logged in:** Tell the user they need to authenticate. Use the `/auth-setup` skill for guidance. Do not proceed until auth is confirmed.

### Step 2: Identify the Pipeline

Run `goldsky turbo list` to show all pipelines.

Ask the user which pipeline they want to diagnose. If they already named one, confirm it exists in the list.

Note the pipeline's current status (running, paused, error, completed, starting).

### Step 3: Analyze Pipeline Status

Based on the status:

- **running** — Pipeline is active. Check if the issue is data quality, latency, or unexpected behavior. Proceed to Step 4.
- **error** — Pipeline has failed. This is the most common case. Proceed to Step 4 for log analysis.
- **paused** — Pipeline was manually paused. Ask if they want to resume it.
- **starting** — Pipeline is initializing. Ask how long it's been starting. If >10 minutes, check logs.
- **completed** — Job-mode pipeline finished. Ask what the expected vs actual behavior was.

### Step 4: Examine Logs

Run `goldsky turbo logs <pipeline-name> --tail 100 2>&1` to get recent logs.

Analyze the output for known error patterns. Reference the error patterns in the `/turbo-operations` skill, including:

- **Connection errors** — sink unreachable, auth failed, timeout
```
