## Inspect Requirements Before Preparation
Use [`Engine.InspectRequirements`](../../requirements.go) when the application
needs the prompt's recognizable input and caller-variable dependencies for a
particular context before it has input artifacts. Unlike `InspectPrompt`, it
also walks captured template syntax and selects a profile identity; unlike
`Prepare`, it does not load artifacts or render messages.
```go
requirements, err := engine.InspectRequirements(ctx, promptkit.RequirementInspectionRequest{
PromptID: "meeting.summary",
Vars: map[string]string{"audience": "project leads"},
})
if err != nil {
return err
}
for _, input := range requirements.Inputs {
if input.Kind == promptkit.RequirementRequired {
// Plan to bind this input before preparation.
}
if input.Kind == promptkit.RequirementOptional && input.Explanation != "" {
// A recognizable reference may occur only on a known skipped path.
}
}
for _, variable := range requirements.Variables {
if variable.Kind == promptkit.RequirementRequired && !variable.Supplied {
// The key is required even though this inspection did not receive it.
}
}
if !requirements.Complete {
// Preserve the partial inventory and account for its discovery issues.
}
```
Optional entries can include recognizable inputs and variables found only in
inactive branches. A missing required variable is reported separately from
discovery completeness: missing a value used only for direct text substitution
does not by itself make the inventory incomplete. Conversely, an unresolved
dependency-bearing branch can make discovery incomplete while retaining known
conditional entries. Do not treat an empty partial inventory as proof that no
input bindings are needed. See the method's [GoDoc](../../requirements.go) for
the exact classifications, supported syntax, ownership, and error contract.
## Prepare Without Model Execution
[`Engine.Prepare`](../../engine.go) resolves the selected prompt and profile,
