What the publisher says
From the Setup Doctor repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
setup-doctor
Score and improve your AI coding agent setup. Local-only, open source, free.
That's this repository's own real score, produced by running setup-doctor against itself (see docs/notes.md for how). It is not a mockup.
setup-doctor audits how Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Codex or Cursor is configured in your project and globally, gives it a 0-100 score with concrete fixes, and turns your local usage logs into a shareable "Wrapped" card. Everything runs on your machine. Nothing is ever sent anywhere.
This is real npx setup-doctor output (against a small demo project, not this repository): a critical secret finding, a dead MCP server command, a thin skill description, and the score capped because of the critical finding. Not a mockup.
What it does
- Doctor: audits instruction files (CLAUDE.md / .github/copilot-instructions.md / AGENTS.md / .cursorrules), skills, subagents, MCP servers, plugins, settings and hooks. Runs 29 rules across 6 categories and returns a score, a band (Excellent / Good / Needs work / Poor), and a specific fix for every finding.
- Wrapped: summarizes your local session logs (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI or Cursor) (sessions, active days, tokens, an API-equivalent cost estimate, streaks, busiest hour, a persona label) into a shareable card, in three visual themes and two sizes, with optional PNG export.
- Badge: a static or live (shields.io endpoint) README badge showing your current score.
- HTML report: a single self-contained, themed report file. No network requests, strict Content-Security-Policy, everything inlined.
- MCP server mode: npx setup-doctor mcp exposes Doctor and Wrapped as read-only tools over stdio for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients; see docs/guide/mcp-server.md. Listed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.saxenakapil/setup-doctor.
Supported agents
Subagents, plugins, settings and hooks checks are Claude Code/Copilot-specific; those categories are simply excluded from the score for Codex/Cursor-only setups rather than counted against you. Skills checks (.claude/skills for Claude Code/Copilot CLI, project-scope .cursor/skills for Cursor) apply to all three; Cursor's own global/personal skills live in a cloud-synced store rather than a fixed local path, so only its project-scope skills are read (see docs/notes.md). Copilot CLI is documented to read several of Claude Code's own files directly (.claude/skills, .claude/settings.json, and the "portable format" .mcp.json); when a project is detected as both agents, a real problem in one of those shared files is scored once, not once per agent, and the report notes which other agent it also affects.
