summary: Report whether node and jq resolve for the rate-limit-guard hook and statusline tee. Never installs.

## Purpose
Run the read-only check. Do not install Node.js or jq, and do not download anything.
**Claim:** `disable-model-invocation` is a property of the whole skill, so this skill is the model-invocable check while `setup` stays manual. **Basis:** [skills](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills), field `disable-model-invocation` ("Set to `true` to prevent Claude from automatically loading this skill. Use for workflows you want to trigger manually with `/name`. ... Default: `false`."), fetched 2026-10-01. **As of:** 2026-10-01. **Recheck:** a Claude Code release adds a per-action invocation flag, or that field's description stops applying to the whole skill.
## Check
Run `command -v node`, `node --version`, `command -v jq` and `jq --version` through Bash. Report a PASS/FAIL row for node and for jq, with the install route from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/prerequisites.json` when it is missing. Stop.
## Next
/rate-limit-guard:setup check
Only when the user asks to verify the statusline wiring and tee freshness.
## Gotchas
This skill does not install. A hook notice is not permission to install Node.js or jq.
