# Tails Doctor
Run the diagnostic script from the project root and report its result:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/doctor.js"
```
If `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` was not substituted (non-Claude hosts), run `scripts/doctor.js` from the LLM_Tails checkout with the project as the current directory. If the script cannot be found, say so and stop; do not guess the results.
## Output
Show the script output as-is in a code block. Then, only for `FAIL` and `WARN` lines, one line each: what it means and the smallest fix. Nothing else.
Note: host detection reflects the shell the script runs in, which may differ from the hook environment. Say so if the user is debugging host-specific behavior.
## Boundaries
Read-only. Changes nothing. One-shot.
"stop tails-doctor": cancel.
