mdsmith check

Run mdsmith check on the argument, defaulting to . (entire workspace) when no argument is given.

Steps

1. Locate the workspace root:

   git rev-parse --show-toplevel
   

   Run every subsequent command from that path. Without git, use the current directory.

2. 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.

3. Run the check:

   mdsmith check -- <path>
   

   where <path> is the skill argument, or . when none was given.

4. 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.
