zdev check

Validate zdev’s briefs, task files, generated indexes, and area relationships. Run it after editing records by hand or before handing an area to another worker.

Terminal window
zdev check greeting
zdev check --format json
zdev check [AREA]

Supply an area to check its records, or omit it to check every area. The command reports inconsistencies without rewriting files.

If an index is stale, regenerate it with zdev tasks index greeting. Other findings may need a change to the task, brief, or area configuration. The task format describes the record rules; status shows current task counts and branch health.
