env-check

Check local development prerequisites by scanning repository files for required runtimes, verifying installed dependencies, and comparing example environment variables with local .env files to generate an actionable readiness checklist.

Verify runtimes and dependencies during onboarding by reading version files like .nvmrc or pyproject.toml, comparing them against installed versions, and confirming that required local services and migrations are running and up to date.

Diagnose missing runtimes and misconfigured environment variables by running an environment validation check that compares declared requirements against your local setup and outputs a clear checklist of items needing remediation.

Validate Docker Compose services and database migrations without exposing secrets by comparing example environment variable templates against local .env files and reporting configuration status without printing sensitive values.

This environment health check supports Python and Node.js version files by reading declarations from .node-version, .nvmrc, pyproject.toml, and package.json to verify that the correct local runtimes are installed.

Development environments fail after a break when local services stop running, migrations become stale, or environment variables change, which an environment validation check identifies by verifying current runtime and service status.
