Checks whether this computer is ready to run a local Drupal site (operating system, container runtime, DDEV, Node.js, npm) and lists what the person still has to install. Use before setting up a site, or when a setup step fails because a tool is missing.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
Run it once before you set up a local site, and again after the person installs something.
- Very specific: line 35
When ready is true, go on to the next stage.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Machine check
When to run it
Run it once before you set up a local site, and again after the person installs something.
How to run it
From this skill folder:
bash scripts/check-machine.shIt prints one JSON object and exits 0 whenever the check ran, whatever it found.
bash scripts/check-machine.sh --summary prints a short plain-text summary instead.
Show the summary to the person. Read the JSON yourself.
How to read the JSON
os:macos,wsl2,linuxorunsupported.ready:truewhen the container runtime runs, DDEV is installed, Node.js 24 LTS or later is installed, and npm is installed.checks.container: the container runtime, with three keys.running:truewhen the runtime answers.provider: DDEV's platform name when DDEV did the check, such asorbstackorlinux-docker. Otherwiseorbstack,colima,docker-desktoporunknown. It isnonewhen neither DDEV nor Docker is installed.via: how it checked:ddev-dockercheck,docker-infoornone.

A Node.js older than 24 makesreadyfalse and adds anodestep.next_steps: an array of objects withpiece,stepandperson_runs.pieceisos,container,ddev,nodeornpm.stepis the step's text, naming the command to run or the web address to open. Whenperson_runsistrue, ask the person to do the step. Run the check again afterwards.
When ready is true, go on to the next stage.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
