Check Command¶

Added in v7.0.0

The check command verifies that all external tool dependencies are installed and accessible. Run it before your first analysis to diagnose missing tools.

Usage¶

code-context-agent check

Output¶

Shows a checklist of required tools:

  ✓ ripgrep
  ✓ ast-grep
  ✓ repomix
  ✓ npx

All tools available.

Or if tools are missing:

  ✓ ripgrep
  ✗ ast-grep — install via ast-grep (npm)
  ✓ repomix
  ✗ npx — install via Node.js

Some tools are missing. Analysis may be limited.

Exit code: 0 if all tools are available, 1 if any are missing.

Checked Tools¶

Tool	Binary	Install Command	Purpose
ripgrep	`rg`	`cargo install ripgrep`	File search and manifest creation
ast-grep	`ast-grep`	`npm install -g @ast-grep/cli`	Structural pattern matching
repomix	`repomix`	`npm install -g repomix`	Code bundling with Tree-sitter
npx	`npx`	Install Node.js	Required for context7 MCP server

Auto-Preflight in Full Mode¶

When running --full mode, the check is run automatically before analysis starts. If tools are missing, a warning is printed but analysis proceeds.

Tip

Run code-context-agent check after installation to verify your environment before your first analysis.
