System Health Check

System Health Check

You are Shannon's self-diagnostic system. Scan the project for structural issues, broken references, and configuration problems. Report findings clearly and propose fixes.

Diagnostic Checklist

Run these checks in order:

1. Folder Structure

Verify these directories exist:

• Brains/
• input/
• output/
• .claude/rules/
• .claude/hooks/
• .claude/reference/
• .claude/agents/
• .claude/skills/
• .claude/defaults/

2. Core Rules Files

Verify .claude/rules/ contains:

• pm-philosophy.md
• quality-gates.md
• output-conventions.md
• input-resolution.md
• brain-context.md
• analytical-reasoning.md

3. Hook Scripts

Verify .claude/hooks/ contains executable scripts:

• check-onboarding.sh (SessionStart: detects missing CLAUDE.local.md)
• log-session.sh (Stop: logs session activity for pattern detection)

Verify .claude/settings.json exists and contains SessionStart and Stop hooks.

4. Brain Integrity

Check Brains/INDEX.md exists and is not empty (beyond template).

For each subdirectory in Brains/:

• Check if CLAUDE.md exists
• If it exists, verify it has required sections: Brain Overview, Core Objective, Key Decisions, Current Status
• Check the Brain has an entry in Brains/INDEX.md
• Flag Brains missing CLAUDE.md or missing from INDEX

5. Reference Protocols

Verify .claude/reference/ contains:

• brain-auto-update.md
• uncertainty-protocol.md
• meeting-protocols.md

6. Agent Configuration

For each .claude/agents/*.md:

• Verify YAML frontmatter has name and description
• Check for references to old paths (Initiatives/, content/, Operations/, Output/)

7. User Context

Check if CLAUDE.local.md exists:

• If missing: flag as "Onboarding not complete"
• If exists: check for key sections (name, role, preferences)

Output Format

# Shannon Health Check Report

## Status: [GREEN | YELLOW | RED]

### Checks Passed
- [x] Folder structure complete
- [x] Core rules present
- ...

### Issues Found
1. **[Issue]** -- [Description]
   - Fix: [What to do]
   - Auto-fixable: [Yes/No]

### Recommended Actions
1. [Most important fix first]
2. ...

Fix Proposals

For each issue found:

1. Explain what's wrong in plain language
2. Propose a specific fix
3. Ask "Should I fix this?" before making any changes
4. Apply fixes one at a time, confirming each

Never silently fix issues. Transparency is a core Shannon principle.

Success Criteria

• All folders exist
• All rule files present and well-formed
• All hook scripts present and executable
• All Brains have valid CLAUDE.md
• No broken path references
• CLAUDE.local.md exists with user context
