rolecraft doctor --json          # JSON output
rolecraft doctor --network       # include network connectivity check

Description

Scans your system and reports on:

  • Node.js version — verifies >= 20, shows runtime path
  • Platform — OS and kernel release
  • Git / npm availability — needed for GitHub and npm sources
  • ~/.agents directory — existence and permissions
  • Lockfile schema — validates global lockfile format
  • Global & project lockfiles — skill count per scope
  • Disk usage — total size of installed skills
  • Agent detection — finds installed agents among 86+ supported, per-agent skill count and directory permissions
  • Orphaned skill dirs — directories not tracked in any lockfile
  • Skill integrity — verifies skill directories exist, content hashes match, and checks for broken symlinks
  • MCP servers — counts configured MCP servers across detected agents
  • Network (with --network) — tests connectivity to GitHub
