Runs the hermit's read-only health checks (runtime, config, hooks, state integrity, cost and spend, scheduling and watchdog, channels, credentials, permissions, docker, backup) and reports the summary. Use when diagnosing an install, before a release, or after suspicious behavior. Activates on messages like "/hermit-doctor", "health check", "diagnose the hermit", "what's wrong", "run diagnostic".
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
Record notes only inside an open record's turn, using `bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/task.ts note .hermit <id>` with the note on stdin. Otherwise skip record notes. Never edit a task file directly.
# Hermit Doctor
Runs read-only health checks against the current hermitd install (`channel-liveness`
is the only one that performs outbound API calls — see Notes) and surfaces the summary. Safe
to run at any time. Produces no side effects beyond writing
`.hermit/state/doctor-report.json` and `.hermit/state/doctor-alerts.json`,
and appending a summary block to the open task record.
## Commands
- `task-note`: `bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/task.ts note .hermit`
## Notification route
A finding gets one notification per unresolved episode: the check script records it, you send it
once, and it stays silent until it resolves. A send that never reached the operator is re-offered
on the next run rather than counted as delivered.
Every run sends the same two-leg notice and `channel-send.ts` resolves each leg against this
install's own config: the maintainer leg reaches the configured `maintainer_channel_id`, else the

How to install
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/hermit-doctor@sha256:33d7826598614279The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.12f1cfb, 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.
