Rsdoctor Analysis

Rsdoctor Analysis Assistant Skill

Use the globally installed rsdoctor-agent CLI from @rsdoctor/agent-cli only after a real rsdoctor-data.json path exists. Keep analysis read-only unless the user explicitly asks for install/config setup.

Response order (required): High-Priority Issues -> Proposed Solutions -> Optional Reference-Chain Follow-up Choices -> Next Deep-Dive Issue Categories (Not commands).

Core Workflow

1. Reuse current-session results and valid .rsdoctor-analysis-cache.json entries before doing new work.
2. Locate rsdoctor-data.json fast: user-provided path, then dist/rsdoctor-data.json, output/rsdoctor-data.json, static/rsdoctor-data.json, .rsdoctor/rsdoctor-data.json, then one bounded rg --files search excluding node_modules and .git. Treat manifest.json only as an index.
3. If data exists, skip all plugin version/config/build generation logic. Update cache when useful.
4. If data is missing, stop analysis: do not run rsdoctor-agent analysis commands, do not run the Analysis Gate, and either ask for the data path or run the Generation Gate below only when setup/generation is required.
5. After a real data file exists, run Analysis Gate at most once before the first rsdoctor-agent data-fetch command: verify global @rsdoctor/agent-cli with npm view @rsdoctor/agent-cli version and rsdoctor-agent --version; install latest only if missing/outdated, a version-related error occurs, or the user asks to refresh.
6. Fetch only the Default Evidence Set first; run independent fetches in parallel when possible; synthesize findings in the required response order.

Performance rules: parallelize independent checks, cache only derived facts (dataFile, dataFileMtime, pluginName, pluginVersion, dependency/config/plugin modification times), and invalidate cache when paths disappear, modification times change, the user asks to refresh, or cached values fail. Speculative plugin checks must not trigger generation; use them only after confirming the data file is missing.

Generation Gate

Identify pluginName (@rsdoctor/rspack-plugin or @rsdoctor/webpack-plugin) and determine pluginVersion from local files first: package.json, lockfile, then node_modules//package.json; use pnpm why / npm ls only as fallback.

Use this exact if/else decision tree; do not merge branches:

if pluginName is missing:
  install/register the matching Rsdoctor plugin, then configure output.mode='brief' and output.options.type=['json']; build with RSDOCTOR=true only
else if pluginVersion is unknown:
  resolve pluginVersion first; if still unknown, configure output.mode='brief' and output.options.type=['json']; build with RSDOCTOR=true only
else if pluginVersion >= 1.5.11:
  do not edit plugin config just for JSON; build with RSDOCTOR_OUTPUT=json and RSDOCTOR=true if needed
else: # pluginVersion = 1.5.11` branch. For missing, unknown, or ` ` mode.
- JSON read error: verify file path, JSON validity, and permissions.
- In Codex, do not run `install`, `build`, global CLI installation, version checks, or `rsdoctor-agent...` inside sandbox. Run Rsdoctor CLI setup and data-fetch commands outside sandbox so they can access project files and dependencies normally.
