# Routine Health Check

> Catches the scheduled task that quietly broke.

## What it does

Routine Health Check watches the watchers. It reviews each scheduled task's recent runs, spots failures, silence, duplicates and repeated output, diagnoses the cause in one line, and suggests a fix. It stays silent on healthy days.

## What you get

- Only the broken routines
- A one-line cause for each
- A suggested fix
- Silence when all is well

## Data it uses

- The bot's routine list and run history

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Read-only; changes routines only after your OK.
- Reads: The bot's own routines and their run history
- Cost: Low: one quick run a day (~30 a month); silent when everything is healthy.
- Warning: It changes, pauses or deletes routines only after your OK.

### Grok Bot

1. Copy skills/routine-health-check/SKILL.md (the whole file, including the --- header).
2. Open a one-to-one chat with your Grok Bot and paste the prompt below, with the file where it says.
3. Try it once now: "Run Routine Health Check."
4. The routine shows in the Bot's info pane (click the Bot's name in the chat header) under Routines, where you can pause or edit it.

Note: Skills and routines are saved by asking the Bot; no settings to dig through.

### Muse

1. Copy skills/routine-health-check/SKILL.md.
2. Open Muse and paste the prompt below with the file where it says.
3. Try it: "Run Routine Health Check." Muse has no skill install for outside skills, so it follows the pasted instructions.
4. Ask Muse to make it a recurring task every day at 6:00 AM. It then shows under the Assistant icon > Upcoming.
5. Muse Code (developer CLI): unzip downloads/routine-health-check.zip, run `muse skills validate ./routine-health-check` then `muse skills install ./routine-health-check --scope user`. Optional: add the BotPlaza connector (https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp) under mcpServers in ~/.config/muse/settings.json.

Note: Recurring tasks and Muse Code skill install are documented by Meta. Installing outside skills in the Muse app is not.

### Dots

1. Copy skills/routine-health-check/SKILL.md.
2. Paste the prompt below into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT, with the file where it says.
3. Wait for the dot to confirm the schedule, time zone and end date.
4. Optional: in ChatGPT, Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server with https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp (no authentication). Dots can use installed plugins, but OpenAI hasn't said whether that includes custom ones.
5. Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces can also upload downloads/routine-health-check.zip under Plugins > Skills > Create > Upload from your computer.

Note: Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise, and are still rolling out. Pasting instructions in and scheduled check-ins are documented.
