self-healing

An error-recovery workflow that detects failed commands, syntax errors, missing software packages, and failed tests, then attempts to diagnose and fix them. A software package is a reusable piece of code that a project depends on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install missing dependencies, investigate syntax errors, debug failing tests, apply confirmed fixes, and run the affected command or tests again.
Why use it?
It reduces interruptions when a command or test fails by starting recovery steps and retrying the work. It can also save error patterns for use in later recoveries.

Command for Claude Code

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

self-healing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Self-Healing Workflows

Purpose

Automatically detect and recover from errors without interrupting your flow.

Self-Healing Features

1. Error Detection

Monitors for:

  • Failed commands
  • Syntax errors
  • Missing dependencies
  • Broken tests

2. Automatic Recovery

Missing Dependencies:

Error: Cannot find module 'express'
→ Automatically runs: npm install express
→ Retries original command

Syntax Errors:

Error: Unexpected token
→ Analyzes error location
→ Suggests fix through analyzer agent
→ Applies fix with confirmation

Test Failures:

Test failed: "user authentication"
→ Spawns debugger agent
→ Analyzes failure cause
→ Implements fix
→ Re-runs tests

3. Learning from Failures

Each recovery improves future prevention:

  • Patterns saved to knowledge base
  • Similar errors prevented proactively
  • Recovery strategies optimized

Pattern Storage:

// Store error patterns
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage({
  "action": "store",
  "key": "error-pattern-" + Date.now(),
  "value": JSON.stringify(errorData),
  "namespace": "error-patterns",
  "ttl": 2592000 // 30 days
})

// Analyze patterns
mcp__claude-flow__neural_patterns({
  "action": "analyze",
  "operation": "error-recovery",
  "outcome": "success"
})

Self-Healing Integration

MCP Tool Coordination

// Initialize self-healing swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  "topology": "star",
  "maxAgents": 4,
  "strategy": "adaptive"
})

// Spawn recovery agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "monitor",
  "name": "Error Monitor",
  "capabilities": ["error-detection", "recovery"]
})

// Orchestrate recovery
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
  "task": "recover from error",
  "strategy": "sequential",
  "priority": "critical"
})

Fallback Hook Configuration

{
  "PostToolUse": [{
    "matcher": "^Bash$",
    "command": "npx claude-flow hook post-bash --exit-code '${tool.result.exitCode}' --auto-recover"
  }]
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

self-healing is a command published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/RuView (92,406 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 555 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
