# Check Prerequisites for Dapr Workflow .NET Aspire

## Overview

This skill checks whether all prerequisites are installed for building Dapr Workflow applications with .NET Aspire. Run this skill before using the `create-workflow-aspire` skill.

## Prerequisites

The following must be installed:

- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download)
- [Aspire CLI](https://aspire.dev/get-started/install-cli/) — install via `curl -sSL https://aspire.dev/install.sh | bash` or `irm https://aspire.dev/install.ps1 | iex`
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) or [Podman](https://podman.io/docs/installation)
- [Dapr CLI](https://docs.dapr.io/getting-started/install-dapr-cli/)

## Prerequisite Checks

**Run ALL of these checks. Check steps 2-6 in parallel. Track which checks pass and which fail.**

### Step 1: Detect Operating System

### Step 2: Check the C# LSP plugin

Read the file at [`../dapr-shared/prereq-check-csharp-lsp.md`](../dapr-shared/prereq-check-csharp-lsp.md) and follow those instructions.

### Step 3: Check .NET SDK

Read the file at [`../dapr-shared/prereq-check-dotnet-sdk.md`](../dapr-shared/prereq-check-dotnet-sdk.md) and follow those instructions.

### Step 4: Check Docker or Podman

Read the file at [`../dapr-shared/prereq-check-docker-podman.md`](../dapr-shared/prereq-check-docker-podman.md) and follow those instructions.

### Step 5: Check Dapr CLI

Read the file at [`../dapr-shared/prereq-check-dapr-cli.md`](../dapr-shared/prereq-check-dapr-cli.md) and follow those instructions.

### Step 6: Check Aspire CLI

Read the file at [`../dapr-shared/prereq-check-aspire-cli.md`](../dapr-shared/prereq-check-aspire-cli.md) and follow those instructions.

## Show final message

After all checks are complete, report the results:

- List each check and whether it passed or failed.
- For any failed checks, provide the relevant install link from the Prerequisites section.
- If all checks passed, inform the user they can proceed with the `create-workflow-aspire` skill.
