SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures the project environment is healthy before coding by running the init.sh health checks and surfacing blocking failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Preflight health checks: Validates essential environment state before starting work.
  • Deterministic gating: Blocking on failures to prevent drift.
  • Guided remediation: Reports missing prerequisites and suggested fixes.

Quick Start

Run the health check at session start to ensure the environment is healthy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run preflight health checks before coding to prevent environment drift?

Preflight health checks prevent environment drift by executing init.sh scripts to verify essential state before coding. This process validates dependencies and toolchains, surfacing blocking failures deterministically to ensure a healthy, stable session start.

What is the best way to automate dev-ops environment health verification at session start?

Automating dev-ops environment health verification at session start involves running init.sh to assess project state. It interprets exit codes to gate development deterministically, blocking progress on failures and guiding remediation until the environment is healthy.

Do I need an init.sh script to perform environment init-checks?

Yes, performing environment init-checks requires the presence of an init.sh script. The verification process executes this bash file, interprets its exit codes, and relies on it to detect missing prerequisites and surface actionable failures for guided remediation.

When should I run bash preflight checks for my project toolchain?

Run bash preflight checks at session starts, after dependency changes, or when toolchains update. Executing init.sh at these critical points validates environment health, prevents drift, and surfaces missing prerequisites before you begin coding.

How does guided remediation work when a health check fails?

Guided remediation works by interpreting init.sh exit codes after a health check fails. It reports specific missing prerequisites and suggests actionable fixes, allowing you to resolve environment errors and retry the validation until success.
