Checks that STTP works in this session and is back on course. Reloads the STTP rules and the running TARS skills that got lost, names where the recent turns drifted from them, and shows the session's TARS notes and which copy of TARS runs. For when STTP seems not to work or the work went off course.
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
The user calls this when STTP seems not to work, or the work drifted from its course. Find what is missing or off, put back what reading a file puts back, and say what was wrong. This turn does no task work and changes no task files: a fix that would is proposed and waits for the user's go. When the user said what went wrong after the command, start from it. ## What the session should have The TARS prompt hook answered the command with a "TARS doctor" block: which copy of TARS runs, whether STTP is on or paused, the rules the hooks sent, the git guard, the question form, the pipeline `/workshop-forge` named, the skills started in this session with their working files, and where the skill files are. - No such block came with the command: the prompt hook did not run, and that is the first finding. Without it nothing sends the rules again after a compaction. Likely causes: the plugin is off or not installed (`/plugin` in Claude Code, the plugin list in Codex), Codex has not trusted the hook (`/hooks`), or `python3` is missing. Go on with what you can see, with the skill files in the folders next to this skill's. …

How to install
mdr add frolad/tars/tars-doctor@sha256:d566ed49001d4e41The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
