SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly diagnose whether Workbench and related Toolshed plugins are healthy, stale, misconfigured, or missing key telemetry signals without making any changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plugin health check: Verifies the installed-plugin registry and checks whether the Toolshed updater or Codex gateway appears healthy.
  • Session and workspace audit: Reviews freshness, startup-session state, board mappings, and managed process health for common troubleshooting cases.
  • Observability review: Inspects consent, observer, collector, dashboard, and project telemetry state to distinguish broken setups from intentionally disabled ones.
  • Reporting guidance: Surfaces queue depth, drops, telemetry conflicts, missing session ends, and remediation steps so users know the smallest next action.
  • Use Case: A user notices stale plugin behavior or empty dashboards and uses this Skill to identify whether they need to reload plugins, rerun workspace setup, or simply accept a disabled observability configuration.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the Workbench doctor check and summarize any plugin, freshness, telemetry, or observability problems with the smallest next step for each issue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a read-only health check on Workbench and Toolshed plugins?

To run a read-only health check on Workbench and Toolshed plugins, ask the assistant to execute the Workbench doctor. It inspects the plugin registry, workspace freshness, and telemetry state without modifying the system.

Why are my Toolshed dashboards empty and plugins showing stale behavior?

Empty Toolshed dashboards and stale plugins occur when workspace setup is outdated or observability is misconfigured. A doctor diagnostic pass surfaces telemetry conflicts, missing session ends, and queue drops to identify the root cause.

Can I troubleshoot telemetry attribution and observability consent without changing my configuration?

Yes, you can troubleshoot telemetry attribution and observability consent read-only. The diagnostic pass inspects collector state and consent flags to distinguish broken setups from intentionally disabled observability configurations.

What is the smallest next step to fix broken Workbench observability and missing session ends?

The smallest next step to fix broken Workbench observability and missing session ends is provided through JSON report outputs. They surface remediation guidance, indicating whether to reload plugins, rerun workspace setup, or accept disabled configurations.

Does troubleshooting Workbench board mappings and managed processes require modifying the system?

No, troubleshooting Workbench board mappings and managed processes does not require modifying the system. The diagnostic session audit reviews startup state and process health strictly read-only to provide accurate remediation guidance.
