pack-prerequisite-checker
Purpose
Block "half-ready" pack execution: confirm the user's brief, chosen pack/recipe, runtime understanding, and evidence workflow are sufficient to start planners and validators without rework loops.
Quick start
- identify target pack/recipe
- run checklist rows from
references/prerequisite-matrix.md - mark each row Ready / Needs input / Blocked
- only then authorize entry into execution-heavy skills
When to use
- immediately after
recipe-fit-assessor+intent-to-3d-brief-writer - before first scene planner for a pack workflow
- when user jumps mid-pack without status context
When not to use
- micro decisions inside a single skill (too narrow)
- runtime debugging (use
blender-troubleshooting/ bridge resolver) - license compliance (use
asset-license-checker)
Trigger phrases
- "are we ready to start"
- "pre-flight for the pack"
- "what's missing before we build"
- "check prerequisites"
Prerequisites / readiness
- intended pack/recipe named OR explicitly "exploratory"
- user OK receiving Blocked rows
Input schema
Required inputs
| Input | Why it is required |
|---|---|
| Current brief summary | Validates completeness |
| Target pack/recipe | Selects matrix rows |
| Evidence expectation | Prevents false Verified claims |
Optional inputs
| Input | Use |
|---|---|
| Known runtime path intent | Gates MCP vs CLI appendix posture |
| Install target doc | Confirms user knows upstream steps |
Output schema
Primary output
- row table: Area | Status | Owner action
- go / no-go summary
- next skill when go
Evidence / caveat output
Runtime status: Not Run | Attempted | Produced | Verified | Failed | Blocked / Not Run
Artifact status: Not Run | Not Produced | Produced | Verified | Failed
Evidence used: <brief text, doc paths>
Limitations: <unknowns>
Required laws
../../laws/evidence-before-done.md../../laws/non-blender-user-language.md../../laws/no-arbitrary-python-interface.md../../laws/official-runtime-only.md
Official runtime boundary
Readiness gate only. State Path 1 / Path 2 / CLI appendix per docs/runtime-stack-strategy.md without claiming Connector works alone — Path 1 always implies Blender Lab MCP add-on inside Blender 5.1+.
Operating procedure
- Load matrix
references/prerequisite-matrix.md. - Apply
references/blocked-start-playbook.mdfor any Blocked row. - Emit
references/pack-readiness-template.md. - If go → next planner skill; if no-go → list minimum inputs.
Mode handling
Text-only mode
Mark runtime rows as Needs input unless user supplied path choice.
Runtime-ready mode
User-declared path must pair with official-runtime-readiness-checker handoff suggestion.
Blocked runtime mode
Still check non-runtime rows (brief, assets plan, evidence).
Validation checklist
- Matrix covered
- Each Blocked row has owner action
- Go/no-go explicit
- Next skill named if go
Pass / Warn / Fail rubric
| Verdict | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Pass | All critical rows Ready |
| Warn | Non-critical gaps logged with acceptance |
| Fail | Critical row Blocked without mitigation |
