Which programming languages are supported?

It provides built-in patterns for Node.js (npm) and Python (pip), but the logic can be adapted for any language that uses dependency manifests and version flags.

Can Environment Doctor fix issues automatically?

Yes, it can 'auto-heal' common problems such as missing dependencies by running npm install or pip install, and clearing stale caches like .next or __pycache__.

What is the Environment Doctor skill for Claude Code?

Environment Doctor is a skill that automates the verification and maintenance of your development environment, ensuring tool versions and dependencies match project requirements.

How does this skill prevent environment drift?

It creates a .ralph/environment.lock file that stores hashes of your dependency files and specific runtime versions, checking them before every development iteration.

What happens if a version mismatch is detected?

If the skill cannot fix the mismatch (like an incorrect Node.js version), it logs the issue to progress.txt and marks the task as blocked for human review.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Maintains development environment integrity by automating pre-flight checks and self-healing configuration drift during autonomous coding sessions.

Environment Doctor is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to ensure a consistent and healthy development environment across every iteration of a project. It prevents AI agents from wasting time debugging infrastructure issues by implementing a robust environment lock file system that tracks runtime versions and dependency hashes. By performing automated pre-flight checks and auto-healing common issues like missing build artifacts or stale caches, this skill guarantees that Claude operates within a verified and stable workspace, escalating unfixable mismatches for human intervention only when necessary.
