Hygiene (C1-C7) Sync (S1-S3)
Hygiene Module — Checks (7 items)
| # | Check | Method | Criteria |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Junk files | find .claude/ -name ".DS_Store" -o -name "*.zip" -o -name ".tmp*" | Any exists → P1 |
| 2 | .gitignore exists | ls .claude/.gitignore | Missing → P1 |
| 3 | .gitignore completeness | Read .claude/.gitignore, compare required items | Missing required → P2 |
| 4 | Naming consistency | Scan all skills/*/ for reference vs references | Inconsistent → P2 |
| 5 | README count sync | Count actual vs README description | Mismatch → P2 |
| 6 | Command-Skill pairing | Each core skill should have corresponding command | Missing → P1 |
| 7 | Cache size | du -sh .claude/cache/ | > 50M → P2 |
Check 1: Junk Files
find .claude/ -name ".DS_Store" -o -name "*.zip" -o -name ".tmp*" 2>/dev/null
- Has results → P1: List files, suggest deletion
- No results → ✅
Check 2-3: .gitignore
ls .claude/.gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
Missing → P1. If exists, read content and compare required items:
| Required Item | Reason |
|---|---|
.DS_Store | macOS generates continuously |
settings.local.json | Personal config |
cache/ | Runtime cache |
.tmp* | Temp files |
*.tmp | Temp files (suffix variant) |
*.zip | Backup archives |
.claude_review_state.json | Review state tracking |
Missing any → P2
Check 4: Naming Consistency
# Scan all skill subdirectories
for dir in .claude/skills/*/; do
if [ -d "${dir}reference" ]; then echo "INCONSISTENT: ${dir}reference"; fi
done
Has reference/ (singular) → P2, suggest renaming to references/
Check 5: README Count Sync
# Count actual items
ls .claude/commands/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls .claude/skills/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls .claude/agents/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls .claude/rules/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls .claude/hooks/*.sh 2>/dev/null | wc -l
Extract counts from README.md, compare. Mismatch → P2
Check 6: Command-Skill Pairing
Scan all skills/*/SKILL.md, exclude these types, then check for corresponding command:
| Exclude Type | Examples | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Domain KB | portfolio, aum | Referenced by other skills, no standalone entry |
| External | agent-browser | Not maintained by this project |
Remaining skills without command → P1
Check 7: Cache Size
du -sh .claude/cache/ 2>/dev/null
- > 50M → P2, suggest cleanup
- ≤ 50M → ✅
Sync Module — Checks (S1-S3)
Only runs when
--scope syncor--scope all(default).
S1: Version Check
| # | Check | Method | Criteria |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1.1 | Manifest exists | Read .sd0x/install-state.json | Missing → P1 |
| S1.2 | Manifest parseable | JSON.parse | Parse error → P1 |
| S1.3 | schema_version current | == 1 | Mismatch → P2 |
| S1.4 | plugin_version matches | manifest vs .claude-plugin/plugin.json or package.json | Mismatch → P1 |
| S1.5 | Manifest completeness | Has rules + hook_scripts + scripts keys | Missing key → P2 (MANIFEST_GAP) |
Plugin version resolution (priority order):
.claude-plugin/plugin.json → package.json → "unknown"
Plugin source location (same as /install-rules Phase 1):
Glob: ~/.claude/plugins/**/sd0x-dev-flow/rules/auto-loop.md
Glob: ${REPO_ROOT}/node_modules/sd0x-dev-flow/rules/auto-loop.md
Fallback: @rules/auto-loop.md (plugin-relative)
S2: Component Classification
For each managed component (rules, hooks, scripts), compute 3 hashes and classify:
manifest_hash = manifest[category][filename].hash # null if missing
local_hash = git hash-object --no-filters <local-path> # null if file missing
plugin_hash = git hash-object --no-filters <plugin-path> # source of truth
Classification table (read-only diagnostic; maps to install-rules states for delegation):
| Doctor State | Condition | Severity | install-rules Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
OK | local == manifest == plugin | ✅ | SKIP |
MISSING | local_hash is null, plugin exists | P1 | FRESH_INSTALL |
OUTDATED | local == manifest, plugin != manifest | P1 | AUTO_UPDATE |
LOCAL_MODIFIED | local != manifest, plugin == manifest | ✅ | KEEP_LOCAL |
CONFLICT | local != manifest, plugin != manifest | P2 | CONFLICT |
LEGACY | manifest_hash is null, local exists | P2 | LEGACY |
MANIFEST_GAP | manifest category key missing | P2 | N/A |
TOMBSTONED | manifest deleted: true, local missing | ✅ | SKIP_DELETED |
Managed inventory (hardcoded):
| Category | Local Path | Plugin Source | Files |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rules | .claude/rules/*.md | rules/*.md | auto-loop.md, codex-invocation.md, fix-all-issues.md, framework.md, testing.md, security.md, git-workflow.md, logging.md, docs-writing.md, docs-numbering.md, self-improvement.md, context-management.md |
| Hooks | .claude/hooks/*.sh | hooks/*.sh | pre-edit-guard.sh, post-edit-format.sh, post-tool-review-state.sh, stop-guard.sh, post-compact-auto-loop.sh |
| Scripts | .claude/scripts/ | scripts/ | precommit-runner.js, verify-runner.js, dep-audit.sh, commit-msg-guard.sh, pre-push-gate.sh, lib/utils.js |
S2.5: Override Safeguard Checks
5 checks for project override files (e.g., auto-loop-project.md):
| # | Check | Severity | Detection | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Override drift | P2 | based_on hash comment in project file vs current base file hash | "Base auto-loop updated since override authored; review your overrides" |
| 2 | Policy contradiction | P1 | Override's Auto-Trigger table omits a command that stop-guard.sh requires | "Override conflicts with stop-guard enforcement" |
| 3 | Missing reference | P1 | .claude/CLAUDE.md has @rules/auto-loop-project.md but file missing, OR file exists but not referenced | /install-rules to recreate or add reference |
| 4 | Wrong-layer edit | P2 | Base auto-loop.md has LOCAL_MODIFIED, CONFLICT, or LEGACY state while project override exists | "Move customization to auto-loop-project.md" |
| 5 | Duplicate heading | P2 | Override file has multiple active ## <heading> with same text | "Keep one, remove duplicates. Last occurrence takes effect." |
Policy contradiction detection: Parse the project override's Auto-Trigger table for required check commands. Cross-reference against hook-enforced sentinels: if override omits /codex-review-fast for code changes or /codex-review-doc for .md changes, flag as P1.
Override drift detection: Read the <!-- Based on: auto-loop.md @ <hash> --> comment from the project file. Compare against git hash-object --no-filters .claude/rules/auto-loop.md | cut -c1-7. If different, the base has been updated since the override was authored. Uses blob hash for content-level comparison; accepts legacy commit-style hashes (any 7+ hex chars) during backward-compat transition.
