| name | env-check |
| description | Check if the system is ready for the Learn Docker & K8s game. Verifies Docker, Docker Compose, kubectl, kind, disk space, and port availability. Use when the user asks about requirements, setup, or environment issues. |
| argument-hint | [--full] |
Environment Check
Run the environment check script and report results to the player in a friendly way:
bash engine/environment-check.sh
After the check:
All Passed
Tell the player they're all set. If this is during game start, continue to the game.
Some Warnings
Explain which optional tools are missing and when they'll need them:
- kubectl + kind: "You won't need these until Chapters 6-7 (Kubernetes). You can install them later!"
- curl: "Some challenge verifications use curl. Most things still work without it."
Failures
Guide the player to fix each failure:
If $ARGUMENTS contains "--full", also check:
- Docker can pull images:
docker pull hello-world
- Docker can run containers:
docker run --rm hello-world
- Docker networking works:
docker network create learn-test && docker network rm learn-test
Be encouraging — don't make missing optional tools feel like failures.
