prerequisites-check

A prerequisite check for Freshworks app-development tasks. It verifies that Node.js 24.x and the Freshworks Development Kit, or FDK, version 10.x or newer are installed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before generating, fixing, migrating, refactoring or reviewing a Freshworks app.
Why use it?
It prevents work from starting in an environment that does not meet the required tool versions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 883 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prerequisites-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites Check — Mandatory Before Any Task

CRITICAL: Run this check BEFORE generating apps, fixing errors, migrating, refactoring, or reviewing.

Check Commands

node --version  # Must output v24.x.x
fdk version     # Must output 10.x or newer

Decision Logic

✅ PASS (both conditions met)

  • Node version starts with v24.
  • FDK version starts with 10. or higher
  • ACTION: Proceed with user's request

❌ FAIL (either condition fails)

  • Node is NOT 24.x
  • FDK is NOT 10.x or newer
  • Either command fails / not found
  • ACTION: STOP immediately, do NOT generate any files, respond with error below

Error Response Template

When prerequisites fail, respond EXACTLY with:

⚠️ PREREQUISITES NOT MET

fw-app-dev requires:
- Node.js 24.x (current: [detected version or "not found"])
- FDK 10.x (current: [detected version or "not found"])

Install prerequisites first:

[if fw-setup skill is available in this workspace:]
1. Run: /fw-setup-install
2. Verify: node --version && fdk version
3. Then retry your command

[if fw-setup skill is NOT available:]
1. Install fw-setup skill:
   npx @freshworks/fw-dev-tools install
2. Run: /fw-setup-install
3. Then retry your command

Replace [detected version or "not found"] with actual output from commands.

Examples

Example 1: Node 18 detected

⚠️ PREREQUISITES NOT MET

fw-app-dev requires:
- Node.js 24.x (current: v18.20.8)
- FDK 10.x (current: 9.8.2)

Install prerequisites first:

1. Run: /fw-setup-install
2. Verify: node --version && fdk version
3. Then retry your command

Example 2: FDK not found

⚠️ PREREQUISITES NOT MET

fw-app-dev requires:
- Node.js 24.x (current: v24.11.1)
- FDK 10.x (current: not found)

Install prerequisites first:

1. Run: /fw-setup-install
2. Verify: node --version && fdk version
3. Then retry your command

Example 3: Both missing

⚠️ PREREQUISITES NOT MET

fw-app-dev requires:
- Node.js 24.x (current: not found)
- FDK 10.x (current: not found)

Install prerequisites first:

1. Install fw-setup skill:
   npx @freshworks/fw-dev-tools install
2. Run: /fw-setup-install
3. Then retry your command

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

prerequisites-check is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository freshworks-developers/fw-dev-tools (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 883 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
