System Diagnostics Skill

Use this skill when you need to understand the local system environment, debug environment-related issues, or gather system information.

When to Use

• Debugging environment-specific issues
• Understanding system capabilities
• Checking available resources (memory, disk, etc.)
• Verifying tool installations

Available Information

The system-info tool provides:

1. Operating System: OS type, version, architecture
2. Python Environment: Version, interpreter path, virtual env
3. Resource Availability: Memory, disk space
4. Environment Variables: Key config values

Best Practices

1. Check environment first: When debugging, start by gathering system info
2. Compare environments: Use this to identify differences between dev/prod
3. Document requirements: Use gathered info to document system requirements
