# CLI - Doctor

**`quarkdown doctor`** groups commands that report information about the current Quarkdown installation.

## `doctor env`

**`quarkdown doctor env`** reports the status of the external runtimes Quarkdown depends on: the JVM, Node.js, and Puppeteer (required for PDF export).

```shell
quarkdown doctor env
```

## `doctor get`

The **`get`** subgroup exposes single-value getters that print one piece of information to standard output, one per line.
This makes them well suited for shell substitution.

### `install-dir`

**`quarkdown doctor get install-dir`** prints the absolute path of the Quarkdown install directory: the root of the distribution layout that contains `bin/`, `lib/`, and `docs/`.

```shell
quarkdown doctor get install-dir
```

A common use is to locate bundled resources from a shell script, without resolving the binary path manually:

```shell
INSTALL="$(quarkdown doctor get install-dir)"
ls "$INSTALL/docs"
```

### `agent-skill`

**`quarkdown doctor get agent-skill`** prints the absolute path of the bundled agent skill directory, which contains the `SKILL.md` entrypoint that AI agent tools can read or symlink.

```shell
quarkdown doctor get agent-skill
```

See [Use with AI agents](agent-skill.md) for installation instructions.
