Verify Claude, Codex, and Grok availability plus Director guidance, relay, agents, and skills. Audit optional hooks only when selected. Use after installation or when a native surface misbehaves.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Verify your development environment is ready for Director Mode.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 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.

Environment Check
Verify your development environment is ready for Director Mode.
Checks Performed
1. Director Mode Dependencies
| Tool | Purpose | Check | Required |
| git | Version control | git --version | Yes |
| python3 | Installer, adapters, and relay | python3 --version | Yes |
| jq | Legacy automation hooks only | jq --version | No |
2. CLI versions
claude --version
codex --version
grok --versionMinimum: 2.0.0+
3. Project-Specific Tools
Auto-detect project type and check relevant tools:
| Project Type | Detected By | Tools to Check |
| Node.js | package.json | node --version, npm --version or pnpm --version |
| Python | requirements.txt, pyproject.toml | python3 --version, pip --version |
| Rust | Cargo.toml | rustc --version, cargo --version |
| Go | go.mod | go version |
| Java | pom.xml, build.gradle | java --version, mvn --version or gradle --version |
4. Director Mode Installation
.claude/directory exists.claude/skills/populated (35 skills expected).agents/skills/populated when the Codex adapter is selected.director-mode/bin/director-relayis executable.director-mode/bin/director-openis executable.claude/agents/populated (14 agents expected).codex/agents/and.grok/agents/populated for selected adapters- no active hooks for the default install
- optional hooks match the explicitly selected mode and contain no surprise deny/block response

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.

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.
