Capability Check

Verify if a specific action is possible and diagnose any blockers.

Capability Inventory

Full capabilities documentation: ~/.claude-mind/self/capabilities/inventory.md

Access Patterns

Copy# Read full inventory (comprehensive reference)
cat ~/.claude-mind/self/capabilities/inventory.md

# Search for specific capability
grep -ni "search term" ~/.claude-mind/self/capabilities/inventory.md

# List all sections
grep "^## " ~/.claude-mind/self/capabilities/inventory.md

Quick Capability Matrix

Checking Specific Capabilities

Messaging

Copypgrep -q Samara && echo "Samara: OK" || echo "Samara: Not running"
~/.claude-mind/system/bin/message "test" --dry-run 2>/dev/null

Calendar

Copyosascript -e 'tell application "Calendar" to get name of calendars' 2>&1

Contacts

Copyosascript -e 'tell application "Contacts" to get name of first person' 2>&1

Notes

Copyosascript -e 'tell application "Notes" to get name of first note' 2>&1

Mail

Copyosascript -e 'tell application "Mail" to get name of first account' 2>&1

Bluesky

Copygrep -q "bluesky" ~/.claude-mind/system/config.json && echo "Bluesky: Configured" || echo "Bluesky: Not configured"

Full Disk Access

Copyls ~/Library/Messages/chat.db 2>/dev/null && echo "FDA: OK" || echo "FDA: Missing"

Troubleshooting Flow

1. Identify the capability: What action is being attempted?

2. Check prerequisites:

   • Is the required app/service running?
   • Are permissions granted?
   • Is configuration present?

3. Test minimally: Run simplest possible version of the action

4. Check logs: Look for error messages

Copylog show --predicate 'process == "osascript"' --last 2m

1. Report findings: What works, what doesn't, what to fix

Common Blockers

• "Not authorized to send Apple events": Missing Automation permission
• "Operation not permitted": Missing FDA or specific permission
• "Application isn't running": Need to launch the app first
• "No such file": Script or config missing
