claude-code-basecamp: Command for Claude Code

Environment Check

The first thing you do when you clone a project (or revisit one after a few weeks) is make sure your local setup actually works. It could be a wrong runtime version, missing environment variables, or unapplied migrations.

This command validates the entire local setup in one pass.

Instructions

0. Detect Project Type

Before running any checks, detect what kind of project this is:

# Check for project markers
ls pyproject.toml setup.cfg setup.py requirements.txt .python-version 2>/dev/null  # Python
ls package.json 2>/dev/null  # Node.js
ls go.mod 2>/dev/null  # Go
ls Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null  # Rust
ls pom.xml build.gradle 2>/dev/null  # Java

If no project markers are found, ask the user: "couldn't detect the project type — what stack is this?"

Run only the checks relevant to the detected stack. The sections below use Python as the example, but adapt to the detected stack (e.g., node_modules for Node, go mod tidy for Go).

Check this project's development environment is properly configured:

1. Runtime Version

• Look for configuration files that specify the required runtime version for the detected stack
• For Python: pyproject.toml, .python-version, setup.cfg, runtime.txt
• For Node: package.json engines field, .nvmrc, .node-version
• For Go: go.mod go directive
• For Rust: rust-toolchain.toml
• Check the installed version matches the project's requirement
• Report: version required vs version found

2. Package Dependencies

• Check if uv is installed and available
• Check if .venv exists and is up to date
• If pyproject.toml exists, verify packages are synced (uv sync --check or equivalent)
• If requirements.txt exists, check packages are installed
• Report: any missing or outdated packages

3. Environment Variables

• Look for .env.example or .env.template files
• Compare against the actual .env file (if it exists)
• Report: which required env vars are missing or empty
• Do NOT print the actual values — just report presence/absence
