diagnostics(1)

💖 diagnostics(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🪑 because we're talking about diagnostics — it lives in the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, the "just run it in your shell" girlies) and it's giving very much session-handling main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

diagnostics — that's it, that's the name, no extra lore, no subtitle, she simply is. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

diagnostics [-n|--name] [--session-id] [--path] [-o|--output]
[-h|--help]

literally just the vibes of how you call her, no cap. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. plot twist: this section is empty in the original. like, absolutely nothing here. no description. zero words. she said "read the OPTIONS and figure it out" and honestly? respect. 😭

so yeah — no description text exists, and I'm not about to invent one for you, bestie, because that would be lying and lying is not slay. everything you need is down in OPTIONS. 👇

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -n, --name <NAME> — give your chat session a name 🏷️. and here's the cute part: if you use it together with --resume, it'll resume that specific session, but only if it actually exists. if it doesn't exist? no session for you, babes. 💀
• --session-id <SESSION_ID> — drop a session ID in here to resume it. ⚠️ heads up though: this one requires --resume. it does not work solo, she needs her plus-one. 🫶
• --path <PATH> — okay so this one is a legacy parameter, meaning it's here purely for backward compatibility — old-school, grandfathered in, still showing up to the party. 👵✨ what it does is extract the session ID straight out of the file path, like:

'/path/to/20250325_200615.  jsonl' -> '20250325_200615'

(yes, the spacing in that example is exactly how it is, I'm not touching it, I'm just the messenger 🫡)

• -o, --output <OUTPUT> — okay bestie, real talk: there is no description for this one in the original. it just sits there. mysterious. enigmatic. a little bit iconic honestly. 👑 the flag exists, the placeholder exists, the explanation does not. don't ask me what it outputs, because the manpage refuses to say and I refuse to make things up. 🙈
• -h, --help — prints the help 📖. and psst — if you want just a summary instead of the whole thing, use -h. 🎀

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

the whole goose friend group, obviously, they roll deep 🦢:

• goose(1)
• goose-session(1)
• goose-session-export(1)
• goose-session-import(1)
• goose-session-list(1)
• goose-session-remove(1)

a gentle reminder from your girl: the description section really is empty, -o/--output really has no explanation, and --path really is legacy. none of that is me being lazy, that's just the source material. we keep the facts, we just serve them cute. 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 the footer just says diagnostics and diagnostics(1) — no version, no date, no source line, she's mysterious like that — so consider this your official sign-off: diagnostics(1), from the General Commands Manual, and that's periodt. 💅✨🦋🎀🌸💜
