SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Defines the healthy colony data standards and remediation guidance that govern colony state files, ensuring reliable operation, consistent diagnoses, and safe repairs across runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes the healthy COLONY_STATE.json schema, state machine transitions, and consistency rules for data integrity.
  • Provides cross-referenced guidelines for memory, instincts, signals, and remediation workflows to support automated health checks.
  • Use Case: when data drift or a failure mode is detected, medic validates files against the healthy reference and applies documented remedies to restore a valid state.

Quick Start

Run the medic tool to validate colony data against the healthy state reference and apply prescribed repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions about medic

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate colony state data integrity in COLONY_STATE.json?

Validate colony state data by running the medic tool against COLONY_STATE.json to check schema consistency, state machine transitions, and signal health. It detects data drift and applies documented remedies to restore a valid state.

What is colony data remediation and when do I need it?

Colony data remediation is the process of repairing data drift or failure modes detected in colony state files. You need it when automated health checks identify invalid state machine transitions, signal health degradation, or schema inconsistencies.

How do I repair colony state machine transition failures?

Repair colony state machine transition failures by applying the prescribed remedies documented in the medic validation rules. The tool diagnoses common failures in COLONY_STATE.json and executes remediation workflows to restore valid state transitions.

Can I use automated diagnostics for colony management data health?

Yes, you can use automated diagnostics for colony management data health. The medic tool provides cross-referenced guidelines for memory, instincts, signals, and remediation workflows to support automated health checks across colony state files.

What are the limitations of colony data validation and remediation?

Colony data validation and remediation is limited to predefined healthy state references, state machine transitions, and documented remedies. It cannot resolve undocumented failure modes or repair data falling outside the established COLONY_STATE.json schema and consistency rules.
