Provider Health Check Summary (Starter Pack)
Produce a one-screen health summary of every provider Octopus can seat, so the user knows what a workflow will actually dispatch to before spending money.
When to use
The user asks "what providers do I have?", a workflow banner showed (unavailable - skipping), or a session is starting on a new machine.
Steps
- Detect. Run
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/helpers/check-providers.sh and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/helpers/check-versions.sh.
- Summarize per provider. For each seat report: available or not, auth method (env key, oauth session, subscription), and the model it would resolve to today. Include the claude-sdk seat when
CLAUDE_SDK_API_KEY is set (Agent SDK, Opus 4.8, 1M context).
- Flag problems, ranked. Expired auth first (breaks dispatch), then version drift (behavior skew), then missing optional providers (reduced diversity). One line each with the exact fix command (
grok login, opencode auth login, key export).
- State the cost posture. Split the roster into included (Claude, agy, copilot, ollama, cursor-agent) versus billed (codex, perplexity, grok, openrouter, atlascloud, claude-sdk) so the user can predict what a multi-provider workflow costs before running it.
Output shape
A single table, one row per provider, columns: Provider, Status, Auth, Model, Cost. Below it, at most three ranked fix-it lines. No prose beyond that.
Guardrails
- Report only what the detection scripts return this session. A provider that worked yesterday but fails detection now is DOWN; do not soften it.
