SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires duckdb, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Periodic health checks across the eight key design principles of the Gardener system, surfacing issues to maintain reliability and adaptivity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive health checks across seed validity, skill integrity, memory health, dashboard status, and orchestration readiness.
  • Automatic detection of misconfigurations (missing teach-agent, invalid frontmatter) and reporting of actionable issues.
  • Use cases include pre-deploy validation, runtime health monitoring, and incident triage with structured JSON reports.

Quick Start

Run the garden-health health check to generate a real-time report of system health.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a health check on my Gardener system to validate seed and skill integrity?

Run a Gardener health check to evaluate seed validity, skill frontmatter integrity, memory health, and orchestrator status. The diagnostic script outputs a structured JSON report and summary, surfacing misconfigurations like missing teach-agent data for quick triage.

What does a Gardener diagnostic report include when monitoring system health?

A Gardener health check report includes evaluations of seed validity, skill integrity, memory health, dashboard availability, and orchestrator status across local and connected environments, outputting a structured JSON report with actionable issue summaries.

Do I need DuckDB installed to perform Gardener observability checks?

DuckDB is an optional dependency for performing Gardener observability checks. The health check uses Python with optional DuckDB integration to run diagnostic scripts and read seed.md files, generating a structured JSON report without strict database requirements.

Can I use this health check for pre-deploy validation of Gardener skills and seeds?

Yes, Gardener health checks support pre-deploy validation by automatically detecting missing teach-agent configurations and invalid skill frontmatter. It evaluates orchestration readiness and outputs a structured JSON report to surface issues before deployment.

Why does my Gardener health check fail to validate skill frontmatter?

Skill frontmatter validation fails during a Gardener health check when required metadata fields are missing or misconfigured. The diagnostic script reads skill frontmatter and reports invalid configurations in the structured JSON output for incident triage.

What is the best way to continuously monitor Gardener orchestration readiness and memory health?

Continuous monitoring of Gardener orchestration readiness and memory health is achieved by running periodic health checks. The diagnostic scripts evaluate system components across local and connected environments, outputting a structured JSON report to surface issues.
