What it does

Health is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Service/infra health via liveness/readiness checks, resource usage, quick diagnostics. Triggers: health check, services up, system status, infra health, degraded service.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/health_check.py`).

It sits in Databases. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Professional-grade AI coding toolkit: 94 skills, 44 agents, multi-platform (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Cline, Roo Code, Aider, Augment, Antigravity, Codex CLI… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Databases work in your project

Example prompts

“/health”

Requirements

Python 3
Docker
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e40ed87. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- docker
- curl
- python
- java
- python3
- redis-cli
- mongosh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Health loads about 925 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~925

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Health Check

$ARGUMENTS

Check the health of all project services.

Project context

Services: !docker compose ps 2>/dev/null || echo "no-docker"

Auto-Detection

Detect services from docker-compose.yml, .env, or project configuration.

Quick Check

bash

# If using Docker Compose
docker compose ps

# Process check (bare metal)
ps aux | grep -E "(node|python|java|php)" | grep -v grep

Common Service Checks

Service	Health Check
HTTP API	`curl -f http://localhost:{port}/health`
PostgreSQL	`pg_isready -h localhost -p 5432`
MySQL	`mysqladmin ping -h localhost`
Redis	`redis-cli ping`
MongoDB	`mongosh --eval "db.runCommand({ping:1})"`
Elasticsearch	`curl -f http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health`
RabbitMQ	`curl -f http://localhost:15672/api/healthchecks/node`

Diagnostics

bash

# Container logs (if Docker)
docker compose logs --tail 50 {service}

# Resource usage
docker stats --no-stream   # Docker
htop                       # Bare metal

# Disk usage
df -h                      # System
docker system df           # Docker

# Network
netstat -tlnp              # Listening ports
curl -I http://localhost:{port}  # Connectivity

Common Issues

Symptom	Check	Solution
Service not responding	Process running? Port open?	Restart service
Slow responses	Resource usage, connections	Scale or optimize
Connection refused	Network, firewall, port	Check config
Out of memory	`free -h`, container limits	Increase limits

Automated Health Check

Run the bundled script for a JSON health report:

bash

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/health_check.py http://localhost:8000

Health Report Format

yaml

services:
  {service-name}:
    status: healthy|degraded|down
    uptime: Xd Xh
    cpu: X%
    memory: XMB
    notes: "any issues"

Rules

MUST report measured values — never mark a service healthy without a successful probe
NEVER restart a degraded service without the user's explicit go-ahead
CRITICAL: separate liveness (process up) from readiness (accepting traffic) in the report
MANDATORY: if a health endpoint times out, classify as degraded, not healthy

Gotchas

docker compose ps shows Up even when a container is crash-looping via restart policy — look at the STATUS column for (unhealthy) or Restarting rather than trusting "Up" alone.
Many /health endpoints return 200 as long as the web server answers, even when the DB connection is down. If the service exposes a /ready or /healthz?deep=true endpoint, prefer it — shallow health is a lie.
pg_isready reports success the moment Postgres accepts TCP, which happens seconds before the DB is actually query-ready after a restart. Chain it with a trivial SELECT 1.
docker stats --no-stream needs cgroups v2 access; on older hosts or LXC containers it returns 0% CPU/memory silently instead of erroring. Verify at least one non-zero value before trusting the report.

When NOT to Use

To debug a specific failing service — use /debug after the health check narrows it down
For performance bottlenecks — use /performance-profiling
For a production incident with page/alert — use /workflow incident-response
For CI pipeline status — use /ci

Questions about Health

What does Health do?

Service/infra health via liveness/readiness checks, resource usage, quick diagnostics. Health is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Service/infra health via liveness/readiness checks, resource usage, quick diagnostics.

When should I use Health?

Health fits situations like: databases work in your project.

How do I install Health in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill health -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/health in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .claude/skills/health in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Health in Codex?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill health -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/health in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .agents/skills/health in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Health in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill health -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/health, .gemini/skills/health, .github/skills/health and .opencode/skills/health in your project.

What does Health need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Health needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (docker, curl, python, java, python3 and redis-cli). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.

Does Health access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Health safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file; pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Health use?

Health is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Health use?

About 925 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Health?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Health: How To Communicate (databasus/databasus, 8.8k stars), Codebase Exploration (giancarloerra/SocratiCode, 3.3k stars), Bump Test Image (redis/node-redis, 18k stars) and Tgf Server Dev (thkhxm/tgf, 128 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Health?

softspark (a GitHub user) maintains it in softspark/ai-toolkit, which has 179 GitHub stars. The repository holds 112 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.

Source: softspark/ai-toolkit on GitHub. Facts on this page come from the repository at the commit we read; the author's words are quoted as theirs.
