signature-troubleshooting
Skill0 starsChanged 32 days agoMITView on GitHub
Diagnose why a Scribe signature is missing, stale, or wrong in someone's mail client by walking installation status, integration health, recipient sources, and publish state in the order that finds the cause fastest. Use for "my signature isn't showing up / is out of date / looks wrong".

Why isn't this signature showing up?
Work down this list. Each step is one tool call and rules out a whole class of cause, so stop as soon as one explains the symptom rather than gathering everything first.
- Is it installed for that address?
list_signature_installationswithemail_address(no need to resolve the UUID). One row per email × signature × integration/email client, withstatus=installed|failed|uninstalled. Afailedrow carries anerror_code—user_not_foundmeans the recipient has no account on that integration, which is a directory problem, not a Scribe one. - Is the workspace's integration healthy?
list_integrationsreturns active integrations including failing ones, withstatus(active/error) and, when erroring,error_message+error_since. A workspace-level error explains failures across everyone — check this before investigating one person. - Are they actually a recipient?
list_signature_recipientsfor the template. If they are absent, nothing was ever going to install — this is a targeting problem; see thesignature-rolloutskill. - Has the template ever been published?
list_signatures→last_published_at. Edits live indraft_contentand never ship untilpublish_signatureruns. A signature that "won't update" is usually an unpublished draft. Confirm by comparingpreview_signaturewithcontent: "draft"vs"published". - What is actually installed for them?
get_signature_htmlwith theiremail_idreturns the real final HTML — live content, their real smart-field values, tracking on. Compare it against what they say they see. Empty means never published; 404/422 means that address is not a recipient. - Are their details wrong rather than their signature?
list_teammatesshows each smart-field value with anintegration_id. Non-null = synced from a directory integration and read-only in Scribe — fix it in Google/Microsoft, and the value flows back.update_teammatesilently skips integration-synced and image fields.
Repair
- Correct content: fix
draft_content,preview_signature, thenpublish_signature. - Correct content but a stale or failed deployment:
install_signaturere-deploys the current live content without publishing anything new. 403 = plan lacks installation; 409 = no signature integration connected. - Blocked outside Scribe (directory, permissions, plan): say so plainly and point at the fix.
search_docs/read_docs_pagehave the setup guides — quote those rather than improvising. - Genuinely broken or missing capability: offer
send_feedback(category: "bug") and send it only with the user's consent.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
