What does this agent skill do?
OMX Doctor
Use this task card to diagnose installation/discovery problems. Shared safety, lifecycle, hook, team, autonomy, and cancellation rules live in templates/AGENTS.md. ~/.codex means ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex} when CODEX_HOME is set.
Run diagnostics
omx doctor
omx doctor --team # include Team runtime checks
omx doctor --verbose # include detailed check evidence
omx doctor --force # repair eligible repo artifact ownership issues
omx doctor --dry-run --force # preview eligible ownership repairs
For a local source checkout, build first and invoke node dist/cli/omx.js doctor. Keep command output and exact paths for the report.
Plugin cache and version
PLUGIN_CACHE_ROOT="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/plugins/cache"
CACHE_ENTRIES=$(find "$PLUGIN_CACHE_ROOT" -path "*/oh-my-codex/*" -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -type d 2>/dev/null)
if [[ -z "$CACHE_ENTRIES" ]]; then
echo "Installed plugin cache: none"
else
while IFS= read -r d; do
m=$(basename "$(dirname "$(dirname "$d")")"); v=$(basename "$d")
printf 'Installed plugin cache: marketplace=%s version=%s path=%s\n' "$m" "$v" "$d"
done <<<"$CACHE_ENTRIES"
fi
LATEST=$(npm view oh-my-codex version 2>/dev/null)
echo "Latest npm: $LATEST"
No cache is INFO (normal for npm/setup-only installs). A non-local cache version differing from LATEST, or multiple versions for one marketplace, is WARN. Plugin discovery does not replace npm installation plus omx setup; native/runtime wiring remains setup-owned.
Hooks, AGENTS, and skill roots
CODEX_DIR="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
ls -la "$CODEX_DIR/config.toml" "$CODEX_DIR/settings.json" 2>/dev/null
rg 'keyword-detector|persistent-mode|session-start|stop-continuation' "$CODEX_DIR/config.toml" "$CODEX_DIR/settings.json" 2>/dev/null || true
ls -la "$CODEX_DIR/hooks"/*.sh 2>/dev/null
ls -la "$CODEX_DIR/AGENTS.md" 2>/dev/null
grep -q "oh-my-codex Multi-Agent System" "$CODEX_DIR/AGENTS.md" 2>/dev/null && echo "Has OMX config" || echo "Missing OMX config"
ls -la "$CODEX_DIR/agents" "$CODEX_DIR/commands" "$CODEX_DIR/skills" "$HOME/.agents/skills" 2>/dev/null
Classify legacy hook references as CRITICAL (duplicate hooks). The scripts keyword-detector.sh, persistent-mode.sh, session-start.sh, and stop-continuation.sh are WARN. Missing AGENTS.md is CRITICAL; missing the OMX marker is WARN. ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills is the canonical user root. ~/.agents/skills is historical and overlapping trees can duplicate skill entries. OMX files under legacy agents/ or commands/ are WARN.
With --team, retain any resume_blocker, slow_shutdown, delayed_status_lag, stale_leader, or orphan_tmux_session diagnostics; failed checks set a non-zero exit status.
Report contract
## OMX Doctor Report
### Summary
[HEALTHY / ISSUES FOUND]
### Checks
| Check | Status | Details |
| Plugin Version | OK/WARN/INFO | ... |
| Hook Config (config.toml / legacy settings.json) | OK/CRITICAL | ... |
| Legacy Scripts (~/.codex/hooks/) | OK/WARN | ... |
| AGENTS.md | OK/WARN/CRITICAL | ... |
| Plugin Cache | OK/WARN | ... |
| Legacy Agents / Commands | OK/WARN | ... |
| Skills (canonical / historical root) | OK/WARN | ... |
### Issues Found
1. ...
### Recommended Fixes
...
Remediation (after user confirmation and confirming each target is OMX-owned)
Remove only confirmed OMX legacy content; preserve unrelated user files:
# If settings.json exists, remove only its legacy "hooks" section.
rm -f "$CODEX_DIR/hooks/keyword-detector.sh" "$CODEX_DIR/hooks/persistent-mode.sh" "$CODEX_DIR/hooks/session-start.sh" "$CODEX_DIR/hooks/stop-continuation.sh"
PLUGIN_CACHE_ROOT="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/plugins/cache"
find "$PLUGIN_CACHE_ROOT" -path "*/oh-my-codex" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf {} +
For older curl installs, inspect first and remove only directories containing OMX-managed files:
ls -la "$CODEX_DIR/agents" "$CODEX_DIR/commands" "$CODEX_DIR/skills" "$HOME/.agents/skills" 2>/dev/null
# Optional backups:
# mv "$CODEX_DIR/agents" "$CODEX_DIR/agents.bak"
# mv "$CODEX_DIR/commands" "$CODEX_DIR/commands.bak"
# mv "$HOME/.agents/skills" "$HOME/.agents/skills.bak"
rm -rf "$CODEX_DIR/agents" "$CODEX_DIR/commands" "$HOME/.agents/skills"
If AGENTS.md is missing/outdated, fetch the current raw file and write it to $CODEX_DIR/AGENTS.md:
WebFetch(url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-codex/main/docs/AGENTS.md", prompt: "Return the complete raw markdown content exactly as-is")
To keep only the newest cache version for a selected marketplace:
PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR="$PLUGIN_CACHE_ROOT/$MARKETPLACE_NAME/oh-my-codex"
KEEP_VERSION=$(for d in "$PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR"/*; do [[ -d "$d" ]] && basename "$d"; done | sort -V | tail -1)
[[ -n "$KEEP_VERSION" ]] && find "$PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name "$KEEP_VERSION" -exec rm -rf {} +
If AGENTS.md is missing or stale, refresh it from the current release source, then rerun omx doctor. If legacy ~/.agents/skills overlaps the canonical root, archive/remove that tree only after checking for custom skills. Restart Codex after fixes and report before/after evidence.
Exit conditions
Stop with HEALTHY only when required paths, hook/config checks, AGENTS marker, plugin cache status, and (when requested) Team checks pass. Otherwise report ISSUES FOUND, exact failed evidence, and the smallest confirmed remediation; do not claim a fix from a recommendation alone.
How can the creator link this skill?
Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
