stack-doctor

A checker for an agent project’s setup files, skill files, hooks, metadata, and adapter programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect the setup, report exact failures, and check only skill files when needed for continuous integration.
Why use it?
It finds configuration problems such as oversized files, invalid metadata, conflicting hooks, or unavailable adapters before they cause trouble.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 88 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 342 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

stack-doctor 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

stack-doctor

Lint the optimization layer and report problems with exact files and limits.

Checks performed

  • CLAUDE.md ≤ 800 tokens (startup-load budget).
  • Each SKILL.md description ≤ 1024 chars (Agent Skills hard limit).
  • Each SKILL.md body ≤ 500 lines.
  • Combined skill metadata ≤ 500 tokens.
  • Zero hook conflicts in .claude/settings.json.
  • Valid frontmatter (name + description) on every skill.
  • Every adapter binary callable, or clearly flagged as config-only.

What to do

  1. Run npx @drmahdikazempour/agent-stack doctor.
  2. If it exits non-zero, surface each failure with the file and the limit it broke.
  3. For auto-fixable issues (e.g. CLAUDE.md over budget), offer npx @drmahdikazempour/agent-stack optimize.
  4. For hook conflicts, never hand-edit settings.json — re-run init/profile use so the merger reconciles them.

--skills-only lints just the SKILL.md files (used in CI).

Changes

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.
