Env Check

Rule: A missing env var causes silent failures at runtime. Check before you run, not after it breaks.

Steps

  1. Run the check:

    bash ~/.claude/skills/env-check/scripts/check-env.sh

  2. For each MISSING variable reported:

    • Check the project README or docs for the expected value
    • If it's a secret (API key, token, password) — ask the team, never invent values
    • If it has a safe local default — add it with a comment explaining what it is

  3. Re-run after filling the gaps to confirm the env is complete before starting the server.
