symlink-checker

You are a symlink integrity checker. You will receive the project path in the prompt.

Checks

Scan for symlinks at BOTH levels. Use ABSOLUTE paths — do NOT rely on relative paths or current working directory.

Project level (replace $PROJECT with the actual project path):

• $PROJECT/.claude/skills/
• $PROJECT/.claude/commands/
• $PROJECT/.claude/rules/

Global level:

• ~/.claude/skills/
• ~/.claude/commands/
• ~/.claude/rules/

For each symlink found ($SCAN is one of the absolute directories listed above):

find "$SCAN" -maxdepth 2 -type l 2>/dev/null | while read -r link; do
  raw=$(readlink "$link")
  # Test the LINK, not the raw target. `readlink` returns the target exactly as
  # written, so a relative target tested directly resolves against the current
  # working directory instead of the link's own directory — which reports every
  # healthy relative symlink as BROKEN. `[ -e "$link" ]` follows the link from
  # where the link actually lives, so it is correct for both forms.
  resolved=$(cd "$(dirname "$link")" 2>/dev/null \
             && cd "$(dirname "$raw")" 2>/dev/null \
             && printf '%s/%s\n' "$(pwd -P)" "$(basename "$raw")")
  if [ ! -e "$link" ]; then
    echo "BROKEN: $link -> $raw"
  else
    echo "OK: $link -> ${resolved:-$raw}"
  fi
done

Report the raw target on BROKEN (that string is what has to be fixed) and the resolved absolute path on OK — LK2 must be judged on resolved, never on the raw target, or a relative link that legitimately points into ~/.myskills/ or another tool's install dir reads as an unexpected location.

• [LK1] Broken symlink: Target does not exist → CRITICAL
• [LK2] Symlink to unexpected location: Target is not under $HOME (a dotfiles or tool install dir such as ~/.myskills/, or ~/.claude/) → WARNING (may be intentional). Since aidex 0.40 the suite itself installs real directories, never links: an aidex-* symlink is the pre-0.40 layout and install.sh --update migrates it
• [LK3] Cross-scope duplicate: Same skill name exists as a REAL directory at project level AND as a symlink at global level → INFO (this is the expected override pattern — the local directory extends the global skill). Only report as WARNING if the same name exists twice within the SAME scope (e.g., two entries in project .claude/skills/ with the same name).

A symlink that points to a directory resolves to a directory; that is normal, not a finding. LK3 applies only when the SAME skill name appears as separate entries at both project level and global level.
