💅 glab(1) — the glab govern doctor page, bestie edition 🩺✨

okay so real talk, this one's a subcommand of the glab manual (glab(1), hi, that's the parent page 💖) and it's here to help you figure out why your AI governance setup is acting up. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

glab-govern-doctor — diagnose AI governance configuration, authentication, and hook setup. (EXPERIMENTAL) 👑 — yes bestie, that word is doing a LOT of heavy lifting, more on that below 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab govern doctor [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe of this command is: check that AI governance is correctly configured on this machine. that's it, that's the mission 💅

here's what it verifies, one by one (no skipping, we don't do that here ✨):

  • Authentication — glab is authenticated with a valid token 🔑
  • glab in PATH — the binary is findable so hooks will work 🧚 (because a hook that can't find glab is giving broken bestie energy, and not in a cute way)
  • Agent session hooks — if Claude Code sessions are synced, the Stop and SessionEnd hooks are installed 🪝
  • OpenCode plugin — if OpenCode sessions are synced, the glab plugin is installed and up to date 🔄
  • API connectivity — can reach the GitLab API 🌐
  • Fallback periodic sync — whether the scheduled job is installed and loaded, whether the glab binary it runs still exists and is the same build as this glab, and the result of its last run ⏰

and the iconique part? for any check that fails, it outputs a clear remediation command so you're not just sitting there like 😭 wondering what to do. it literally tells you. slay.

⚠️ important vibe check: this feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. it might be unstable or removed at any time, no cap. for more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/. 💀
