Env Diagnosis
Skill Profile
(Select at least one profile to enable specific modules)
Overview
Environment diagnosis is systematic process of identifying and resolving issues in development environments before they block productivity. This skill provides checklists, automated scripts, and repair protocols for common environment problems including version mismatches, permission issues, port conflicts, and dependency conflicts.
When to use this skill: When experiencing environment issues, when setting up a new development environment, or when encountering "it works on my machine" problems.
Why This Matters
Core Concepts & Rules
1. Core Principles
- Follow established patterns and conventions
- Maintain consistency across codebase
- Document decisions and trade-offs
2. Implementation Guidelines
- Start with the simplest viable solution
- Iterate based on feedback and requirements
- Test thoroughly before deployment
Inputs / Outputs / Contracts
- Inputs:
- <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
- Entry Conditions:
- <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
- Outputs:
- <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
- Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
- <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
- Acceptance Evidence:
- <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
- Success Criteria:
- <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Quick Start
Assumptions
- Developer has access to terminal
- Version managers (nvm, pyenv) are available
- Sufficient permissions to make changes
Compatibility
- Works on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL)
- Language-agnostic diagnosis principles
- Can be adapted to different environments
Test Scenario Matrix
| Scenario |
Diagnosis |
Fix |
Notes |
| Node version mismatch |
Check node --version vs .nvmrc |
Use nvm install |
Requires nvm |
| Port in use |
Check lsof -i :<port> |
Kill process |
Verify correct process |
| Permission denied |
Check ls -la |
Use chown |
May need sudo |
| Dependency conflict |
Check npm ls |
Clean install |
May need to clear cache |
Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model
1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)
- Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure
2. Performance & Resources
3. Architecture & Scalability
4. Observability & Reliability
Agent Directives & Error Recovery
(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)
- Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
- Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
- Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
- Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.
Definition of Done
Anti-patterns / Pitfalls
- ⛔ Don't: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries
- ⚠️ Watch out for: Common symptoms and quick fixes
- 💡 Instead: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging
