What output does the skill provide after starting an app?

It returns the assigned port, the background process ID (PID), and the exact command used to start the server.

Is this skill compatible with monorepos?

Yes, it is specifically designed to navigate monorepo structures and target the specific application directory you need to start.

How does the skill verify that the application actually started?

It runs the command in the background and performs a sequence of HTTP polls, checking for a 2xx or 3xx response code before confirming success.

How does the skill identify the correct start command?

The skill uses Glob and Grep tools to scan the repository for configuration files such as package.json, Makefile, or pyproject.toml to find the standard local development command.

What happens if port 8080 or 3000 is already in use?

The skill avoids common port conflicts by scanning for available ports starting at 50000 and incrementing until it finds a free one.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Automates the identification and launching of web application development servers on available ports with health verification.

This skill streamlines the development workflow by automatically locating the correct start command within a repository, identifying a free system port starting at 50000, and launching the application as a background process. It is particularly effective in monorepos where multiple applications exist, as it intelligently scans configuration files like package.json or Makefiles to find the right execution path. By polling the server until a successful HTTP response is received, it ensures the application is fully operational before returning the PID and port details, effectively eliminating manual setup and port conflict issues.
