SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the time developers waste troubleshooting missing or misconfigured local development prerequisites (including Docker, Docker Compose, JDK 21, Python 3.12, and GNU Make) or unreachable corporate hosts during project setup, removing guesswork from environment configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-tool validation: Checks for correct installation and required versions of core local development tools.
  • Network reachability check: Verifies VPN connectivity to necessary corporate hosts.
  • Actionable remediation: Provides clear, specific fix steps for any failed prerequisite checks.
  • Use Case: A new team member setting up the DevEnv Agent platform can run this skill first to confirm their local environment meets all requirements before attempting to build or run the project, avoiding failed builds caused by missing tools.

Quick Start

Use the local-prereq-check skill to validate your local development environment against project requirements and receive actionable fix recommendations for any missing prerequisites.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my local development environment has the required tool versions?

To check local development prerequisites, this Skill validates the presence and correct versions of required tools like Docker, Docker Compose, JDK 21, Python 3.12, and GNU Make. It outputs actionable remediation guidance for any missing or misconfigured prerequisites.

How can I verify VPN reachability to required corporate hosts during project setup?

You can verify VPN reachability to required corporate hosts by running this Skill. It performs a network reachability check during your project setup validation and provides clear fix steps if any corporate hosts are unreachable.

What should I do if Docker or JDK 21 is missing or misconfigured for my dev setup?

If Docker or JDK 21 is missing during your dev setup, this prerequisite check provides actionable remediation guidance. It outputs specific fix steps to resolve the missing or misconfigured local development prerequisites automatically.

Do I need to install Python 3.12 and GNU Make before validating my local environment?

You do not need a perfectly configured environment before validating. This prerequisite check identifies missing tools like Python 3.12 and GNU Make, returning actionable steps to install them and complete your developer onboarding setup.

Can I use this prerequisite check for platform engineering pre-build environment validation?

Yes, you can use this prerequisite check for platform engineering pre-build environment validation. It applies to developer onboarding, project setup validation, and pre-build workflows to confirm local development prerequisites are correctly installed.

Why does my project build fail during developer onboarding?

Project builds often fail during developer onboarding due to missing local development prerequisites. This Skill prevents failed builds by validating tools like Docker and JDK 21, and verifying VPN reachability to corporate hosts before you build.
