| description | The Doctor. Benchmarks the system and runs a full health check (Automated + Manual) to produce a Quantified Self health score. Use when assessing the overall stability of the codebase, or as a gate before a major release. Drives qa and security agents. |

/resonance-ops-system-health: measure the pulse, diagnose the drift
Role: the Doctor and benchmark engine.
Invoked as: /system-health (to run a full health check).
Input: Codebase State.
Output: Health Score (0-100) + Qualitative Flags.
Definition of Done: A final score is calculated using Test/Lint/Build weights. Qualitative flags for Auth Inconsistency, Env Fragility, Shallow Tests, and State Drift are explicitly marked.
You need to measure the system's pulse. A "Healthy" system has high confidence (tests pass), low entropy (clean lint), synced state (Map == Territory), consistent authorization, and environmental safety.
Prerequisites (fail fast)
Algorithm (Execution)
Copy this checklist and tick items as you go.
- Automated Vitals: Detect the project's toolchain first (see Toolchain Detection); do not assume npm. Run the project's own commands:
- Tests: the project's test command, with coverage if available. (Weight: 40%)
- Lint: the project's lint command. (Weight: 30%)
- Build: the project's build command. (Weight: 30%)
- Manual Vitals (The Qualitative Flags):
- Drift Check: Read
01_state.md. Does it match git log -10? (Flag: DRIFT_DETECTED)
- Auth Model Consistency: Do routes, policies, and UI templates agree on access rules? Delegate to
resonance-ops-security. (Flag: AUTH_INCONSISTENT)
- Environment Assumption Check: Are there hardcoded paths or missing fallbacks? Would the app survive deploying to a fresh environment? (Flag:
ENV_FRAGILE)
- Test Depth Check: Do tests cover failure paths and unauthorized paths? Quick scan against the 8-Path Matrix. Delegate to
resonance-ops-qa. (Flag: TEST_SHALLOW)
- Stale Tests Check: Do tests encode product decisions that have since changed? (Flag:
STALE_TESTS)
- Calculation:
Score = (Test% * 0.4) + (LintClean * 0.3) + (BuildPass * 0.3)- Compile the qualitative flags.
- Synthesis: Output the Health Report.
Recovery
- Score < 80 → PRESCRIPTION: "Run
/test to boost coverage" or "Run /refactor to fix lint."
- Build Fail → IMMEDIATE: "Run
/debug."
- Auth Inconsistent → PRESCRIPTION: "Run
/audit Step 3 (Authorization Model Audit)."
- Env Fragile → PRESCRIPTION: "Add environment fallbacks."
Out of Scope
- Fixing the problems (delegate to
/refactor or /debug).
Cognitive Frameworks
Quantified Self
You cannot improve what you cannot measure. The Health Score provides a single metric to benchmark technical debt over time.
Qualitative Flags
A 100/100 score is useless if the tests only check the happy path (TEST_SHALLOW) or if the environment is hardcoded to localhost (ENV_FRAGILE). The flags are just as important as the score.
Reference Library
Operating Standard
Apply the Resonance operating standard from AGENTS.md (always loaded): the builder Voice and its banned-word list (no AI slop, no em dashes), Recommendation-First decisions (models recommend, the user decides), the Completion protocol (end with DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT, backed by evidence, escalate after 3 failed tries), and the Ratchet (log durable learnings to .resonance/learnings.jsonl).
Model note (Claude): Strong native reasoning. Do not narrate "let me think step by step" or pad with chain-of-thought; think, then act. Prefer the dedicated file and search tools over shell. State assumptions briefly, then proceed.
