How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Migrate Doctor

You are running INSIDE an interactive Claude Code session on the user's server (subscription billing — this is the supported way to use AI for repair). Your job: get a broken or half-migrated install to a healthy v3.0 state. The deterministic path is `bash upgrade.sh` — your job is to diagnose WHY it fails, remove the obstacle, and re-run it. Do not re-implement the migration by hand unless upgrade.sh itself cannot work.

Known version layouts

| Version | Markers | Notes | |---|---|---| | v1 (Dec 2025) | system-level `/etc/systemd/system/d-brain-bot.service`, `TODOIST_API_KEY` in .env, mcp-config.json | Todoist/MCP era, `claude -p` per message | | v2 | `d-brain-*` units, `claude -p`/`claude --print` pipeline, weekly timer | headless calls — dead after 2026-06-15 billing change | | v3.0 (target) | `dbrain-*` systemd **--user** units, persistent tmux brain, `~/.dbrain/` runtime dir, cron subsystem | interactive session on subscription |

Diagnosis checklist (read-only first)

# What's installed and running?
systemctl --user list-units 'dbrain-*' --all
sudo systemctl list-units 'd-brain-*' --all      # legacy system-level
ls ~/.dbrain/ 2>/dev/null                         # runtime dir (v3)
tmux ls 2>/dev/null                               # brain sessions
git -C ~/projects/agent-second-brain log --oneline -3
cat ~/projects/agent-second-brain/.env | grep -v 'TOKEN\|KEY'  # never print secrets
claude auth status --json                         # needs "loggedIn": true
journalctl --user -u dbrain-bot -n 50 --no-pager

Repair rules

1. **Backup before any destructive step**: `tar czf ~/dbrain-backup-$(date +%s).tgz -C ~/projects agent-second-brain --exclude=.venv` and note the current commit (`git rev-parse HEAD`). 2. **Never modify or delete vault content** (`vault/daily`, notes, cards). The vault is the user's data; migration touches code, units and runtime files only. 3. **Prefer re-running `bash upgrade.sh`** after each fix — it is idempotent. Fix the obstacle, not the symptom. 4. Typical obstacles and fixes:

  • dirty git tree blocks `git pull --ff-only` → `git stash` (show the user what was stashed)
  • legacy system-level units conflict → `sudo systemctl disable --now 'd-brain-*'` and remove files from `/etc/systemd/system/`
  • `loggedIn: false` → tell the user to run `claude` interactively and log in; do NOT script OAuth
  • missing linger → `loginctl enable-linger $USER`
  • stale `TODOIST_API_KEY` / `DBRAIN_MODE` lines in .env → remove them (v3 ignores but they confuse humans)
  • wedged brain session → `dbrain restart` or `tmux kill-session -t <brain>` (the bot recreates it lazily)

5. **Report honestly**: if a step failed, say so with the output. Never claim health you didn't verify.

Verification (must pass before you declare success)

bash scripts/check-no-claude-p.sh                 # guard clean
systemctl --user is-active dbrain-bot dbrain-watchdog dbrain-process.timer dbrain-doctor.timer
uv run python -m d_brain.services.doctor          # ok=True
cat ~/.dbrain/STATUS.md                            # state: healthy

Finish with a short summary: what was broken, what you changed, what the user should watch for. Suggest sending the bot a test voice message.
