RudderStack Environment Check

Quick diagnostic that checks all RudderStack tool prerequisites and provides actionable guidance.

When to Use

• Before starting with RudderStack workflows
• When troubleshooting "command not found" errors
• To verify your development environment is ready

Check Process

Run these checks in sequence:

1. Check rudder-cli

# Check if installed
which rudder-cli

# If installed, check authentication
rudder-cli workspace info

2. Check Terraform (if using terraform workflows)

# Check if installed
which terraform

# If installed, check version
terraform version

# Check if provider is configured (run in project directory)
terraform providers

3. Check MCP Server Connectivity

# Check if hosted MCP server is reachable
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://mcp.rudderstack.com/health

Output Format

Present results as a status table:

RudderStack Environment Check
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Tool                    Status      Action
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
rudder-cli              ✓ Ready
  └─ authenticated      ✓ Ready     Workspace: <name>
terraform               ✗ Missing   Run: /rudder-terraform-setup
  └─ provider           ─ Skipped   (terraform required first)
mcp.rudderstack.com     ✓ Reachable
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Status Indicators

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | ✓ Ready | Tool installed and configured | | ✗ Missing | Tool not found, needs installation | | ─ Skipped | Dependency not met, check parent first | | ⚠ Issue | Tool found but configuration problem |

Next Steps by Status

| Tool Missing | Action | |--------------|--------| | rudder-cli | Run `/rudder-cli-setup` or ask "help me install rudder-cli" | | terraform | Run `/rudder-terraform-setup` or ask "help me setup terraform for rudderstack" | | MCP unreachable | Run `/rudder-mcp-setup` or check network connectivity |

Credential Security

• This skill only checks tool availability and authentication status
• Never logs or displays access tokens
• Workspace info shows only workspace name/ID, not credentials
