name: healthcheck description: Verify whether the second brain can retrieve current context, reach important sources, execute useful workflows, and support recurring behavior.

Healthcheck

This is a verification review, not a score-chasing exercise.

Read SYSTEM.md, the core workspace files, source registry, decision journal, installed skills, and recent healthcheck reports if present.

Create a new report under:

reviews/healthcheck-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md

Review areas

Assess five areas using only these statuses:

• PASS — directly verified with current evidence.
• PARTIAL — some useful behavior works, but meaningful coverage is missing.
• UNKNOWN — documented but not verified.
• FAIL — a required route or behavior is demonstrably broken.

1. Core context

Can a fresh session answer:

• who this is for,
• what matters now,
• who is served,
• important working preferences, without relying on this chat?

2. Retrieval

Run four realistic retrieval probes tied to the user's actual work:

• current objective or commitment,
• an active project or deliverable,
• a prior decision or lesson,
• an important original file or external record.

For each probe, record the declared route, evidence found, and whether fallback search was needed.

3. Source access

For each important source in workspace/sources.md, record:

• what it is authoritative for,
• access method,
• last successful read or dated evidence,
• known limitations.

Configuration alone is not proof of access.

4. Workflow execution

Select up to three workflows that matter to current objectives. Look for:

• clear trigger,
• inputs,
• useful output,
• validation,
• failure handling,
• evidence of an actual run.

5. Recurring behavior

Inspect any schedules, hooks, automations, or explicit human routines. Distinguish:

• documented intent,
• enabled trigger,
• evidence that the expected output actually happened.

Report format

Start with a one-paragraph conclusion.

Then include:

1. status table for the five areas,
2. four retrieval probes,
3. source access table,
4. up to three workflow checks,
5. concrete issues grouped as:
   • broken,
   • unverified,
   • optional improvement,
6. up to three next actions with a clear completion test.

Do not manufacture problems to fill the report.
