Task: Run Installation Diagnostics
You are the OMC Doctor - diagnose and fix installation issues.
Step 1: Check Plugin Version
# Get installed and latest versions (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.claude'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omc','oh-my-claudecode');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));console.log('Installed:',v.length?v[v.length-1]:'(none)')}catch{console.log('Installed: (none)')}"
npm view oh-my-claude-sisyphus version 2>/dev/null || echo "Latest: (unavailable)"
Diagnosis:
- If no version installed: CRITICAL - plugin not installed
- If INSTALLED != LATEST: WARN - outdated plugin
- If multiple versions exist: WARN - stale cache
Step 2: Check for Legacy Hooks in settings.json
Read both ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.claude}/settings.json (profile-level) and ./.claude/settings.json (project-level) and check if there's a "hooks" key with entries like:
bash ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/hooks/keyword-detector.shbash ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/hooks/persistent-mode.shbash ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/hooks/session-start.sh
Diagnosis:
- If found: CRITICAL - legacy hooks causing duplicates
Step 3: Check for Legacy Bash Hook Scripts
ls -la "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/hooks/*.sh 2>/dev/null
Diagnosis:
- If
keyword-detector.sh,persistent-mode.sh,session-start.sh, orstop-continuation.shexist: WARN - legacy scripts (can cause confusion)
Step 4: Check CLAUDE.md
# Check if CLAUDE.md exists
ls -la "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
# Check for OMC markers (<!-- OMC:START --> is the canonical marker)
grep -q "<!-- OMC:START -->" "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/CLAUDE.md" 2>/dev/null && echo "Has OMC config" || echo "Missing OMC config in CLAUDE.md"
# Check CLAUDE.md (or deterministic companion) version marker and compare with latest installed plugin cache version
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.claude');const base=p.join(d,'CLAUDE.md');let baseContent='';try{baseContent=f.readFileSync(base,'utf8')}catch{};let candidates=[base];let referenced='';const importMatch=baseContent.match(/CLAUDE-[^ )]*\\.md/);if(importMatch){referenced=p.join(d,importMatch[0]);candidates.push(referenced)}else{const defaultCompanion=p.join(d,'CLAUDE-omc.md');if(f.existsSync(defaultCompanion))candidates.push(defaultCompanion);try{const others=f.readdirSync(d).filter(n=>/^CLAUDE-.*\\.md$/i.test(n)).sort().map(n=>p.join(d,n));for(const o of others){if(candidates.includes(o)===false)candidates.push(o)}}catch{}};let claudeV='(missing)';let claudeSource='(none)';for(const file of candidates){try{const c=f.readFileSync(file,'utf8');const m=c.match(/<!--\\s*OMC:VERSION:([^\\s]+)\\s*-->/i);if(m){claudeV=m[1];claudeSource=file;break}}catch{}};if(claudeV==='(missing)'&&candidates.length>0){claudeV='(missing marker)';claudeSource='scanned deterministic CLAUDE sources';};let pluginV='(none)';try{const b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omc','oh-my-claudecode');const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));pluginV=v.length?v[v.length-1]:'(none)';}catch{};console.log('CLAUDE.md OMC version:',claudeV);console.log('OMC version source:',claudeSource);console.log('Latest cached plugin version:',pluginV);if(claudeV==='(missing)'||claudeV==='(missing marker)'||pluginV==='(none)'){console.log('VERSION CHECK SKIPPED: missing CLAUDE marker or plugin cache')}else if(claudeV===pluginV){console.log('VERSION MATCH: CLAUDE and plugin cache are aligned')}else{console.log('VERSION DRIFT: CLAUDE.md and plugin versions differ')}"
# Check companion files for file-split pattern (e.g. CLAUDE-omc.md)
find "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'CLAUDE-*.md' -print 2>/dev/null
while IFS= read -r f; do
grep -q "<!-- OMC:START -->" "$f" 2>/dev/null && echo "Has OMC config in companion: $f"
done < <(find "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'CLAUDE-*.md' -print 2>/dev/null)
# Check if CLAUDE.md references a companion file
grep -o "CLAUDE-[^ )]*\.md" "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/CLAUDE.md" 2>/dev/null
Diagnosis:
- If CLAUDE.md missing: CRITICAL - CLAUDE.md not configured
- If
<!-- OMC:START -->found in CLAUDE.md: OK - If
<!-- OMC:START -->found in a companion file (e.g.CLAUDE-omc.md): OK - file-split pattern detected - If no OMC markers in CLAUDE.md or any companion file: WARN - outdated CLAUDE.md
- If
OMC:VERSIONmarker is missing from deterministic CLAUDE source scan (base + referenced companion): WARN - cannot verify CLAUDE.md freshness - If
CLAUDE.md OMC version!=Latest cached plugin version: WARN - version drift detected (runomc updateoromc setup)
Step 5: Check Ralph Runtime Prerequisites
Ralph is an agent-driven persistence loop, not a compiled program: its only hard runtime prerequisites are the Node runtime that executes OMC's hook scripts (persistent-mode.mjs, keyword-detector.mjs) and a writable config directory for .omc/state/ state files such as ralph-state.json.
node --version || echo "Node for Ralph: MISSING"
mkdir -p "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}" 2>/dev/null
touch "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/.omc-write-probe" 2>/dev/null && rm -f "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/.omc-write-probe" && echo "Config dir writable" || echo "Config dir NOT writable"
Diagnosis:
- If Node runs and prints a version: OK - Ralph runtime prerequisite present
- If
nodeis missing or fails: CRITICAL - OMC hooks and Ralph cannot run without Node (see https://nodejs.org for installers; nvm/fnm users need Node on the PATH of non-interactive shells) - If the config dir is not writable: WARN - Ralph state persistence will fail until it is writable
Step 6: Check for Stale Plugin Cache
# Count versions in cache (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.claude'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omc','oh-my-claudecode');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x));console.log(v.length+' version(s):',v.join(', '))}catch{console.log('0 versions')}"
Diagnosis:
- If > 1 version: WARN - multiple cached versions (cleanup recommended)
Step 7: Check for Legacy Curl-Installed Content
Check for legacy agents, commands, and skills installed via curl (before plugin system). Important: Only flag files whose names match actual plugin-provided names. Do NOT flag user's custom agents/commands/skills that are unrelated to OMC.
# Check for legacy agents directory
ls -la "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/agents/ 2>/dev/null
# Check for legacy commands directory
ls -la "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/commands/ 2>/dev/null
# Check for legacy skills directory
ls -la "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/skills/ 2>/dev/null
Diagnosis:
- If
~/.claude/agents/exists with files matching plugin agent names: WARN - legacy agents (now provided by plugin) - If
~/.claude/commands/exists with files matching plugin command names: WARN - legacy commands (now provided by plugin) - If
~/.claude/skills/exists with files matching plugin skill names: WARN - legacy skills (now provided by plugin) - If custom files exist that do NOT match plugin names: OK - these are user custom content, do not flag them
Known plugin agent names (check agents/ for these):
architect.md, document-specialist.md, explore.md, executor.md, debugger.md, planner.md, analyst.md, critic.md, verifier.md, test-engineer.md, designer.md, writer.md, qa-tester.md, scientist.md, security-reviewer.md, code-reviewer.md, git-master.md, code-simplifier.md

Fix: Outdated Plugin
# Clear plugin cache (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),d=process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(require('os').homedir(),'.claude'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omc','oh-my-claudecode');try{f.rmSync(b,{recursive:true,force:true});console.log('Plugin cache cleared. Restart Claude Code to fetch latest version.')}catch{console.log('No plugin cache found')}"
Fix: Stale Cache (multiple versions)
# Keep only latest version (cross-platform)
node -e "const p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR||p.join(h,'.claude'),b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache','omc','oh-my-claudecode');try{const v=f.readdirSync(b).filter(x=>/^\d/.test(x)).sort((a,c)=>a.localeCompare(c,void 0,{numeric:true}));v.slice(0,-1).forEach(x=>f.rmSync(p.join(b,x),{recursive:true,force:true}));console.log('Removed',v.length-1,'old version(s)')}catch(e){console.log('No cache to clean')}"
Fix: Missing/Outdated CLAUDE.md
Fetch latest from GitHub and write to ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.claude}/CLAUDE.md:
WebFetch(url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode/main/docs/CLAUDE.md", prompt: "Return the complete raw markdown content exactly as-is")
Fix: Legacy Curl-Installed Content
Remove legacy agents, commands, and skills directories (now provided by plugin):
# Backup first (optional - ask user)
# mv "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/agents "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/agents.bak
# mv "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/commands "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/commands.bak
# mv "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/skills "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/skills.bak
# Or remove directly
rm -rf "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/agents
rm -rf "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/commands
rm -rf "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}"/skills
Note: Only remove if these contain oh-my-claudecode-related files. If user has custom agents/commands/skills, warn them and ask before removing.
