Check Prerequisites for Python Agents

Overview

This skill checks whether all prerequisites are installed for building durable AI agents in Python — either with the native dapr-agents SDK (the Dapr Agents framework, which is Python-only) or with a diagrid framework wrapper. Run this skill before using the create-agent-python skill.

Prerequisites

The following must be installed:

Python >=3.11,<3.14 — the bound both dapr-agents and diagrid declare
uv (Astral)
Docker or Podman
Dapr CLI (version 1.18+)
dapr-agents >=1.0 reachable from the package index (native path only — a diagrid[<extra>] project gets it transitively)
At least one LLM provider available: OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY, or a local Ollama instance on http://localhost:11434

Prerequisite Checks

Run ALL of these checks. Check steps 2–8 in parallel. Track which checks pass and which fail.

Step 1: Detect Operating System

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-detect-os.md and follow those instructions.

Step 2: Check the Python LSP plugin

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-python-lsp.md and follow those instructions.

Step 3: Check uv

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-uv.md and follow those instructions.

Step 4: Check Python SDK version

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-python-sdk.md and follow those instructions, with this override: the shared check rejects anything below Python 3.12 because it targets workflow skills. Agent skills accept 3.11 up to but excluding 3.14. Treat 3.11.x as passing. Fail 3.10.x and below, and also fail 3.14 and above — neither dapr-agents nor diagrid resolves there, both declaring >=3.11,<3.14.

Step 5: Check Docker or Podman

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-docker-podman.md and follow those instructions.

Step 6: Check Dapr CLI

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-dapr-cli.md and follow those instructions.

Step 7: Check dapr-agents SDK availability

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-dapr-agents-sdk.md and follow those instructions.

Step 8: Check LLM provider availability

Read the file at ../shared/prereq-check-llm-provider.md and follow those instructions.

Show final message

After all checks are complete, report the results:

List each check and whether it passed or failed.
For any failed checks, provide the relevant install / configuration link from the Prerequisites section.
If all checks passed, inform the user they can proceed with the create-agent-python skill.
