Structural health check for an APS planning directory: broken references, orphaned modules, status drift, duplicate IDs, stale index state. Use when plans feel out of sync, before an autonomous run, or after merging plan changes from several branches.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Plan Doctor
Validate the structural integrity of `plans/` and report actionable
issues. `aps-planning`'s truth gate asks "is this work item still true?";
plan-doctor asks "is the plan a well-formed, internally consistent
artifact?". Run it when plans drift: after long gaps, after merges that
touched plan files, before unattended runs, or when something feels off.
If `plans/index.aps.md` does not exist, this skill does not apply — say so
and stop.
## What to check
Walk the planning directory (`plans/` per `plans/aps-rules.md`) and verify
each of the following. Severity codes keep reports scannable and repeat
runs comparable.
### Normalise status before judging it
`plans/aps-rules.md` ("Status Vocabulary") is the authority on status
values. Canonical values are `Draft`, `Ready`, `In Progress`, `Complete`,
`Blocked`, and two aliases are accepted — tools normalise these internally
and plan files are not rewritten:
- `Proposed` → `Draft` (not yet actionable)
- `Done` → `Complete` (terminal / compacted items)
Terminal compaction may also use `Merged`, `Released`, or `Shipped`; lint
treats them like `Complete`/`Done` for required-field exemptions, and so

How to install
mdr add eddacraft/anvil-plan-spec/plan-doctor@sha256:ae69481d84c62a49The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.c223f1b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
