- System Health Check
- Run a comprehensive 10-subsystem health check across the TTS engine, Telegram bot, and supporting infrastructure. Produces a pass/fail report table with actionable fix recommendations.
- Platform
- macOS (Apple Silicon)
When to Use This Skill
Diagnose why TTS or Telegram bot is not working
Verify system readiness after bootstrap or configuration changes
Routine health check before a demo or presentation
Investigate intermittent failures in the TTS pipeline
Check for stale locks, zombie processes, or orphaned temp files
Requirements
Bun runtime (for bot process)
Python 3.13 with Kokoro venv at
~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv
Telegram bot token in
~/.claude/.secrets/ccterrybot-telegram
mise.toml configured in
~/.claude/automation/claude-telegram-sync/
Workflow Phases
Phase 1: Setup
Load environment variables from mise to ensure
BOT_TOKEN
and other secrets are available:
cd
~/.claude/automation/claude-telegram-sync
&&
eval
"
$(
mise
env
)
"
Phase 2: Run All 10 Health Checks
Execute each check and collect results. Each check returns
[OK]
or
[FAIL]
with a brief diagnostic message.
Check 1: Bot Process
pgrep
-la
'bun.*src/main.ts'
Pass if exactly one process is found. Fail if zero or more than one.
Check 2: Telegram API
BOT_TOKEN
=
$(
cat
~/.claude/.secrets/ccterrybot-telegram
)
curl
-s
"https://api.telegram.org/bot
${BOT_TOKEN}
/getMe"
|
jq .ok
Pass if response is
true
. Fail if
false
, null, or connection error.
Check 3: Kokoro venv
[
[
-d
~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv
]
]
Pass if the directory exists.
Check 4: MLX-Audio Import
~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv/bin/python
-c
"from mlx_audio.tts.utils import load_model; print('MLX OK')"
Pass if import succeeds with exit code 0.
Check 5: Apple Silicon
[
[
"
$(
uname
-m
)
"
==
"arm64"
]
]
Pass if architecture is arm64. MLX-Audio requires Apple Silicon (M1+).
Check 6: Lock State
LOCK_FILE
=
"/tmp/kokoro-tts.lock"
if
[
[
-f
"
$LOCK_FILE
"
]
]
;
then
LOCK_PID
=
$(
cat
"
$LOCK_FILE
"
)
LOCK_AGE
=
$((
$
(
date
+
%
s
)
-
$
(
stat
-
f
%
m "$LOCK_FILE"
)
))
if
kill
-0
"
$LOCK_PID
"
2
/dev/null ; then if [ [ $LOCK_AGE -gt 30 ] ] ; then echo "STALE (PID $LOCK_PID alive but lock age ${LOCK_AGE} s > 30s threshold)" else echo "ACTIVE (PID $LOCK_PID , age ${LOCK_AGE} s)" fi else echo "ORPHANED (PID $LOCK_PID not running, age ${LOCK_AGE} s)" fi else echo "NO LOCK (idle)" fi Pass if no lock or active lock with age under 30s. Fail if stale or orphaned. Check 7: Audio Processes pgrep -x afplay pgrep -x say Informational check. Reports count of running audio processes. Not a pass/fail -- just reports state. Check 8: Secrets File [ [ -f ~/.claude/.secrets/ccterrybot-telegram ] ] Pass if the file exists and is non-empty. Check 9: Stale WAV Files find /tmp -maxdepth 1 -name "kokoro-tts-*.wav" -mmin +5 2
/dev/null Pass if no stale WAV files found (older than 5 minutes). Fail if orphaned WAVs exist. Check 10: Shell Symlinks [ [ -L ~/.local/bin/tts_kokoro.sh ] ] && readlink ~/.local/bin/tts_kokoro.sh Pass if symlink exists and points to a valid target within the plugin. Phase 3: Report Display results as a table: | # | Subsystem | Status | Detail | |---|------------------|--------|---------------------------------| | 1 | Bot Process | [OK] | PID 12345 | | 2 | Telegram API | [OK] | Bot @ccterrybot responding | | 3 | Kokoro venv | [OK] | ~/.local/share/kokoro/.venv | | 4 | MLX-Audio Import | [OK] | mlx_audio module loaded | | 5 | Apple Silicon | [OK] | arm64 (MLX Metal) | | 6 | Lock State | [OK] | No lock (idle) | | 7 | Audio Processes | [OK] | 0 afplay, 0 say | | 8 | Secrets File | [OK] | ccterrybot-telegram present | | 9 | Stale WAVs | [OK] | No orphaned files | |10 | Shell Symlinks | [OK] | tts_kokoro.sh -> plugin script | Phase 4: Summary and Recommendations Report total pass/fail counts (e.g., "9/10 checks passed") For each failure, recommend the appropriate fix or skill to invoke TodoWrite Task Templates 1. [Setup] Load environment variables from mise in bot source directory 2. [Run] Execute all 10 health checks and collect results 3. [Report] Display results table with [OK]/[FAIL] status for each subsystem 4. [Summary] Show pass/fail counts (e.g., 9/10 passed) 5. [Recommend] Suggest fixes for any failures, referencing relevant skills Post-Change Checklist All 10 checks executed (none skipped due to early exit) Results table displayed with consistent formatting Each failure has an actionable recommendation No sensitive values (tokens, secrets) exposed in output Troubleshooting Issue Cause Solution All checks fail Environment not set up Run full-stack-bootstrap skill first Only Kokoro checks fail (3-4) Kokoro venv missing or broken Run kokoro-install.sh --health for detailed report Lock stuck (check 6) Stale lock from crashed TTS process Check lock age and PID; see diagnostic-issue-resolver skill Bot process missing (check 1) Bot crashed or was never started See bot-process-control skill Telegram API fails (check 2) Token expired or network issue Verify token in ~/.claude/.secrets/ccterrybot-telegram ; check network Not Apple Silicon (check 5) Running on Intel Mac or Linux MLX-Audio requires Apple Silicon (M1+) Stale WAVs found (check 9) TTS process crashed mid-generation Clean with rm /tmp/kokoro-tts-*.wav ; investigate crash cause Shell symlinks missing (check 10) Bootstrap incomplete Re-run symlink setup from full-stack-bootstrap skill Reference Documentation Health Checks - Detailed description of each check, failure meaning, and remediation Evolution Log - Change history for this skill
