This skill validates the integrity of the .planning/ directory by running a suite of checks and reporting exact failures and concrete fixes, without modifying any files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structure validation ensuring required files exist and correct JSON structure
  • Phase and plan consistency checks against ROADMAP.md and STATE.md
  • Frontmatter and hook-log sanity checks to surface actionable insights
  • Non-destructive diagnostics that guide users to fix issues manually

Quick Start

Run the health skill to scan the planning directory and generate a concise health report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the integrity of my planning directory structure?

To check planning directory integrity, run a diagnostic scan that validates required files, JSON structure, and phase consistency across ROADMAP.md and STATE.md, then reports exact failures with suggested fixes without modifying any files.

What is planning directory state management validation?

Planning directory state management validation is a read-only diagnostic process that checks STATE.md accuracy, verifies plan and summary pairings, and surfaces frontmatter and hook-log inconsistencies to ensure project tracking artifacts remain reliable.

How do I diagnose phase consistency issues in ROADMAP.md?

To diagnose phase consistency issues, run a non-destructive check that compares ROADMAP.md phases against STATE.md entries and plan/summary pairings, highlighting exact files where configurations mismatch and suggesting concrete fixes for manual review.

Can I run planning checks that suggest fixes without modifying files?

Yes, you can run read-only planning checks that enforce strict non-destructive operation by never modifying files, instead generating a concise health report that identifies integrity failures and provides actionable fix suggestions for human review.

Why does my planning directory health report show frontmatter errors?

A planning directory health report shows frontmatter errors when sanity checks detect malformed metadata or missing required fields in your planning artifacts, surfacing the exact files affected and the specific configuration issues requiring manual correction.

What's the best way to validate plan and summary pairings in project tracking?

The best way to validate plan and summary pairings is to run a comprehensive integrity scan that checks every planning artifact pairing against ROADMAP.md and STATE.md, ensuring phase and state accuracy while reporting mismatches with suggested fixes.
