I need to do specific actions in recipe if the some packages are
installed. How can i check this automatic? Or i need to write some code
(bash …) ? Does chef Package resource provide query for installed
packages ?

If you use the package resource it should be automatic.

I think he's asking a different question.
Vasiliy wants to conditionally do something based on packages being
installed.
My opinionated answer is, you should not think about the problem this way.
You should specify that a package is installed or it is not, then do the
appropriate things.
If you wanted to add functionality that would report installed packages, in
my opinion, the appropriate place is probably ohai.
Then you could do whatever logic in the recipes.

There was a ticket I opened some moons ago regarding caching the list of
installed/available packages to node/ohai data. May be relevant to this
discussion.
case has_package? :provider, 'foo' or similar.

I'm try to modify ohai to get php modules under languages/php. But if
ohai would get all modules for all languages - this slowdown ohai run. I
think - do what i need only in recipes...
