SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Self-tests the Citadel hook pipeline health inside a live session to verify that tool calls trigger hooks, telemetry collects, and no errors occur.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates hook execution by performing Write, Edit, Bash, and Read operations, then reports HOOK HEALTH: PASS or HOOK HEALTH: FAIL with a per-hook breakdown.
  • Enables debugging after updates by surfacing per-hook health and telemetry progress.

Quick Start

Run this skill in a live Citadel session to perform a real Hook Pipeline health check.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Citadel hook pipeline health in a live session?

To validate Citadel hook pipeline health, run a self-test that executes Write, Edit, Bash, and Read operations to trigger hooks and collect telemetry. It reports HOOK HEALTH: PASS or FAIL with a per-hook breakdown for live sanity checks.

What causes inconsistent telemetry or hook behavior after a pipeline update?

Inconsistent telemetry or hook behavior after an update often indicates a failure in the hook pipeline. Running a live self-test surfaces per-hook health and telemetry progress to isolate and debug which specific hook is failing during tool calls.

How do I run a post-update validation check on my hook pipeline?

Post-update validation is performed by running a self-test sequence inside a live Citadel session. This applies Write, Edit, Bash, and Read tool calls to verify execution, collect telemetry, and report a per-hook HOOK HEALTH: PASS or FAIL status.

Does the Citadel hook health check require any external dependencies?

The Citadel hook health check requires no external dependencies, operating entirely within a live session. It self-tests the pipeline by executing internal tool calls and collecting telemetry to report hook health without external setup.

Can I debug individual hook failures during live session sanity checks?

You can debug individual hook failures during live session sanity checks by viewing the per-hook breakdown. The self-test reports HOOK HEALTH: FAIL and surfaces telemetry progress for each hook to identify exactly where execution fails.
