Diagnostic skill to verify D2 (file-based namespace detection) from ADR-0009.

Workflow

Step 1: LLM-based Detection (Current Method)

Determine whether cekernel is running as a plugin or locally by checking how this skill was invoked.

Check whether the skill was invoked with a namespace prefix (e.g., cekernel:probe vs probe).

• If namespaced (plugin mode): LLM_DETECTED_NS=cekernel
• If not namespaced (local mode): LLM_DETECTED_NS=local

Report:

[LLM Detection] namespace = <LLM_DETECTED_NS>
[LLM Detection] reason = <how you determined the namespace>

Step 2: File-based Detection (D2 — ADR-0009)

1. Read skills/references/namespace-detection.md from the repository root ($(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/skills/references/namespace-detection.md). If the Read fails (file not found), you are in plugin mode.
2. Execute the detection Bash snippet from the reference file.
3. Map the result for probe reporting:
   • If CEKERNEL_NS=local: FILE_DETECTED_NS="local", CEKERNEL_AGENT_PROBE="probe"
   • If CEKERNEL_NS=plugin: FILE_DETECTED_NS="cekernel", CEKERNEL_AGENT_PROBE="cekernel:probe"

Step 3: Launch Probe Agent

Using the agent name determined by the file-based detection (Step 2), launch the probe agent:

• subagent_type: Use CEKERNEL_AGENT_PROBE from Step 2
• prompt: "Report what you observe. Run the file-based namespace detection from your own context and return the results."

Step 4: Report

Present a comparison table:

## Probe Results

| Method        | Detected Namespace | Agent Name     |
|---------------|-------------------|----------------|
| LLM-based     | <LLM result>      | <agent name>   |
| File-based    | <File result>     | <agent name>   |
| Agent (D2)    | <Agent result>    | <agent name>   |

### Consistency
- LLM vs File: <match/mismatch>
- File vs Agent: <match/mismatch>

### Conclusion
<Whether D2 file-based detection produces correct results in this context>
