SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Software-reinstall fixes applications that crash, won’t launch, or behave incorrectly by checking integrity and permissions, then performing a clean reinstall when needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose integrity and identity problems: Verifies whether the installed app’s signature/integrity is valid to determine whether a reinstall is warranted.
  • Reduce issues without reinstalling: Resets app preferences and clears app cache to resolve many misbehavior cases while preserving user data.
  • Deploy reinstalls safely (MDM-aware): Uses MDM Self Service (when enrolled) for managed reinstalls, otherwise performs a controlled manual uninstall + reinstall workflow with installer integrity validation.

Quick Start

Use the software-reinstall skill to diagnose and reinstall the application named “Slack” so it stops crashing on launch.
