# Promptbook Doctor
## Overview
Run diagnostics to verify Promptbook is set up correctly. Checks config, consent, API key validity, and recent session activity. Presents a clear pass/fail report.
## Prerequisites
- Promptbook must have been set up via `/setup` first
- Node.js installed (used for config parsing)
- Internet access (for API key verification)
## Instructions
Run these checks in order via Bash and report each result.
### 1. Config file exists
```bash
if [ -f "$HOME/.promptbook/config.json" ]; then
echo "CONFIG_FOUND"
# Check permissions — should be 600 for security
stat -f "%Lp" "$HOME/.promptbook/config.json" 2>/dev/null || stat -c "%a" "$HOME/.promptbook/config.json" 2>/dev/null
# Check required fields exist (without displaying values)
node -e "const c=JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('$HOME/.promptbook/config.json','utf8'));console.log('has_api_key:',!!c.api_key);console.log('has_api_url:',!!c.api_url);console.log('auto_summary:',c.auto_summary);console.log('telemetry_consent:',c.telemetry_consent===true)"
else
echo "NO_CONFIG"
fi
```
If no config file found or `telemetry_consent` is false: tell the user to run `/setup` first.
### 2. API key is valid
Test the API key without displaying it:
```bash
API_KEY=$(node -e "console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('$HOME/.promptbook/config.json','utf8')).api_key)")
curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST "https://promptbook.gg/api/auth/verify-setup" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
```
- 200 = valid and verified
- 401 = invalid key — suggest running `/setup` again
- Other = network issue — suggest checking connectivity
### 3. Last session activity
Check for recent session data files to verify hooks are firing:
```bash
ls -lt ~/.promptbook/sessions/ 2>/dev/null | head -5
```
If no session files found: hooks may not be firing. Suggest starting a new Claude Code session.
## Output
Present results as a clear diagnostic report:
```
Promptbook Doctor
─────────────────
✓ Config: Found (~/.promptbook/config.json)
✓ Consent: Granted during setup
✓ API Key: Valid and verified
✓ Activity: Last session 2 hours ago
```
Use `✓` for passing checks, `✗` for failures, `⚠` for warnings.
## Error Handling
- If config file is missing, report `✗ Config` and direct user to `/setup`
- If consent is false, report `✗ Consent` and direct user to `/setup`
- If API key returns 401, report `✗ API Key` and suggest re-running `/setup`
- If no session files exist, report `⚠ Activity` and suggest starting a new session
- Never display the API key in the report
## Examples
```
User: /doctor
Agent: Promptbook Doctor
─────────────────
✓ Config: Found (~/.promptbook/config.json), permissions 600
✓ Consent: Granted during setup
✓ API Key: Valid and verified (HTTP 200)
✗ Activity: No recent sessions found
Everything looks good except no sessions have been tracked yet.
Start a new Claude Code session to see your first build.
