mdsmith check
Run mdsmith check on the argument, defaulting
to . (entire workspace) when no argument is
given.
Steps
-
Locate the workspace root:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
Run every subsequent command from that path.
Without git, use the current directory.
-
Detect the mdsmith CLI. Try, in order:
mdsmith version
go run ./cmd/mdsmith version
If only the second succeeds, substitute
go run ./cmd/mdsmith for mdsmith below.
-
Run the check:
mdsmith check -- <path>
where <path> is the skill argument, or .
when none was given.
-
Surface the full stdout. If the command exits
non-zero, also show stderr and end with a
summary line: N diagnostic(s) found.
Notes
mdsmith check exits 0 when all files pass,
1 when diagnostics are found, and 2 on a fatal
error (bad config, binary missing, etc.). Only
exit code 2 means the CLI itself failed.
