What problem does it solve?

Prevents lingering processes and port conflicts by killing zombie dev servers, test runners, and browser instances, ensuring smooth development and testing workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detection of project environment: Finds relevant ports from configuration files across monorepo structures.
  • Process termination: Kills processes associated with dev servers, browsers, and test runners based on port and process type.
  • Use Case: When a developer encounters a port in use or hung test processes, this Skill safely clears those processes specific to the current project to resume work efficiently.

Quick Start

Run the cleanup script with --dry-run to preview targets, then execute without the flag to terminate identified processes.
