Can I see which processes are running before killing them?

Yes, use the --check flag to list all active Node.js processes and their associated PIDs without performing a termination.

Is it safe to use while I have files open?

The skill performs a force-termination (taskkill /F). It is highly recommended to save all your work in your IDE before running the kill command to prevent data loss in unsaved files.

Does this skill work on all operating systems?

Currently, this skill is specifically optimized for Windows environments as it utilizes the Windows-native 'taskkill' and 'netstat' commands.

How do I stop a process on a specific port like 3000?

You can use the --port option followed by the port number, for example: 'kill --port 3000' to target only that specific process.

生产力与工作流

Terminates stuck development servers and Node.js processes to resolve port conflicts and reset local environments.

The Dev Process Terminator skill streamlines local development by providing a fast way to manage and force-quit active Node.js processes and development servers. It specifically helps developers resolve 'port already in use' errors and bulk-stop multiple services without manual PID hunting. Optimized for Windows environments using taskkill, this skill ensures a clean workspace when switching branches, debugging concurrency issues, or restarting failed builds, making it an essential utility for maintaining a productive coding environment.
