medic

Check that this machine's agent team can work and say what is wrong in plain lines: tools installed, core skills installed, skill commands runnable, hooks configured, Reach seat live, a heartbeat running, both vendors' quota readable, temp space free. Checks only, never repairs. Use on a new machine, when agents stop reaching each other or a long run fails to start, or when the owner asks whether everything is healthy.

SKILL.md (original)

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

medic

sno medic run looks at the agent team on this machine and prints one line per check. It reads and reports; it never installs, repairs, starts, stops or spends anything.

OK <check>: <what was found>
WARN <check>: <what is wrong> -> <the command that fixes it>
FAIL <check>: <what is wrong> -> <the command that fixes it>
MEDIC ok=N warn=N fail=N

FAIL means the team cannot work at all (a required program is missing, no agent command line is installed, Reach is broken). WARN means it works worse than it should. Exit status is 0 when there is no FAIL, 1 otherwise, 2 for a wrong command line.

Prerequisites: bash 4+, GNU coreutils and jq. sno medic with no arguments, or --help, prints the usage.

Use

  1. Run sno medic run. It takes about ten seconds because it asks sno doctor and reads both quotas.
  2. Tell the owner the result in plain words: the counts, then each WARN and FAIL line with its fix. Do not paste the whole output when everything is OK; one sentence says so.
  3. Run a fix only when the owner asks for it. Installing and updating change the machine, and one warning is often not worth a fix (for example no heartbeat when nothing long is running).
  4. After a fix, run sno medic run again and read the same line: it must now say OK.

A check that cannot run because a program is missing prints WARN <check>: not checked, <program> is missing; fix the tools line first.

Limits

sno medic does not prove that an agent can answer a prompt or that a seat delivers a message: for a live receiver test before a vendor switch use rotate-agent-preflight (the rotate-agent skill), and for a single unit's behaviour use that unit's own self-test.

Give the owner one page when they come back from sleep, a meeting or a long run: what got done, what is stuck, what waits for their answer, and what it cost in quota. Use when the owner asks what happened while they were away, wants a status page, or when you finish a long stretch of work and must report it.

Report how many problems the two brains found: mutual review (the other model checks the work, from the peer-review records) and self-check (an agent finds its own error in its own conversation, judged by that agent's own model), side by side. Use when the owner asks whether the second agent or the reviews are worth it, or wants the week's review results.

Write, revise or review a charter: the one document that tells an executor what to deliver, what is out of bounds, what the owner already decided, and how each success check will be proven. Use when work needs a written brief before someone else does it, or when asked to write, change or check a charter.

Route production coding tasks to the user-level Shell, TypeScript, Python, or Rust Codex workflow. Use for "codex-coder", "Codex write", "generate with Codex", language migrations, or mixed Shell/TypeScript/Python/Rust implementation when Codex should choose the correct language specialist automatically.
