Check the CONTENTS of .attic/ for drift: orphaned items, stale index lines, malformed frontmatter, oversized hooks, and leaked credentials. Use when the user says "check the attic", "attic doctor", "is the attic healthy", or "did anything leak into the attic". Never use this for git, merge or conflict problems, even though they sound like breakage: every merge conflict goes to attic-git.
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
# Attic doctor
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" validate
```
Exit 0 is healthy. Exit 3 means errors were found.
Report what it printed, then act:
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| INDEX line points at a missing item file | Remove the line, or restore the item if it was deleted by mistake. |
| Item file not listed in INDEX.md | Run `attic.js rebuild` to regenerate the index from the item files. |
| Missing or malformed frontmatter | Repair the file to match `references/item-format.md`. |
| Hook over 100 chars | Shorten it; the index is injected into every session. |
| Possible credential | **Stop.** Tell the user which file and line, recommend rotating the credential, and remove the value from the item. If `.attic/` is committed, it is in git history too. |
If the index is badly out of step with the items (many orphans, or it has
been hand-edited into garbage), rebuild it rather than fixing lines one by
one. Items are the source of truth; the index is derived:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" rebuild --dry-run
node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../attic/scripts/attic.js" rebuild
```
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nishikantaray/attic/attic-doctor@sha256:f23e2d2eb53ce67cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
