Talos Doctor
Use this skill to diagnose and heal your local Talos development environment.

Workflow:
- Tool Check: Verify that essential tools are installed and available
(e.g.,
docker, docker-compose, npm, python3, openssl, grep).
- Dependency Check: Check for common vulnerability drift and missing
submodule initialization. Run
make pull to synchronize.
- Secret Check: Verify that
.env.local exists and contains the
required secrets. Run make secrets if missing.
- Service Check: Test connectivity to local services if they are
running. Check for port conflicts.
- Build Check: Run a minimal build validation (
make build).
Non-negotiables:
- Do not ignore missing tool warnings.
- Do not proceed with implementation if the "doctor" report shows critical
infrastructure failures.
- Do not modify system-wide configuration without explicit user confirmation.
Done checklist:
- Local tools and dependencies verified.
- Secrets and environment configuration checked.
- Service connectivity and build health reported.
- Final summary provides actionable steps to fix any identified issues.
