gateway-diagnose

Diagnose gateway failures by reading daemon logs, session transcripts, Redis state, and OTEL telemetry. Full Telegram path triage: daemon process → Redis channel → command queue → pi session → model API → Telegram delivery. Use when: 'gateway broken', 'telegram not working', 'why is gateway down', 'gateway not responding', 'check gateway logs', 'what happened to gateway', 'gateway diagnose', 'gateway errors', 'review gateway logs', 'fallback activated', 'gateway stuck', or any request to understand why the gateway failed. Distinct from the gateway skill (operations) — this skill is diagnostic.

  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads gateway-diagnose automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Gateway diagnosis

Find the failing request, event, run, or flow id and expected behavior. Start from the existing evidence; diagnosis does not itself authorize sending a probe message.

Read the current gateway entrypoint, service configuration, and ownership/runbook. Use joelclaw gateway --help for supported status, event, and diagnostic commands. Resolve service placement before probing dependencies; an absent local cluster is not evidence that a remotely owned dependency failed.

Trace the actual path: ingress, durable queue, policy, gateway session, adapter, and delivery receipt. Compare timestamps, correlation ids, progress, and configured timeouts. Queue age alone does not prove a hung agent. Degraded dependencies may still permit useful channel and session diagnosis.

Follow the first relevant failure to its cause. For an audit, report it. For an authorized repair, fix that failure and continue independent diagnosis. Do not stop the whole task merely because the first probe failed.

Use the configured model, provider, process owner, and current startup source. Historical error strings are clues, not a mandate to restore old embedded controllers, poll-owner leases, or model pins.

Preserve the single transport and gateway owners. Do not start a competing poller or gateway, weaken access controls, kill processes by name, or reset a shared checkout. Use the owning service's scoped restart or recovery path when authorized.

Verify the affected behavior and report the exact observation. A successful queue submission is not proof of delivery. Never print tokens, raw private messages, or auth files in a diagnostic report.

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
