SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of manually starting and coordinating the local development environment for the House project. It gets the backend and frontend running together so you can immediately work on Django pages, the API, and the Vite-powered UI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backend startup: Runs the Django server on the expected local port for app and API work.
  • Frontend startup: Starts the Vite dev server for React development and hot module reloading.
  • Session setup: Useful at the beginning of a coding session when you need the full house stack online and verified.
  • Developer convenience: Surfaces the key local URLs, logs, and demo account details in one place.

Quick Start

Use the dev skill to start the House local development stack and show me the important URLs and logs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start my Django and Vite full stack local development environment together?

Starting a Django and Vite full stack local development environment involves launching both servers in the background to provide simultaneous access to backend APIs and the React frontend UI.

What is the best way to run a React Vite dev server alongside a Django backend?

Running a React Vite dev server alongside a Django backend requires background process management to start both applications, perform port health checks, and verify that hot module reloading and API endpoints are accessible.

Do I need to manually check ports when starting a full stack local server?

When starting a full stack local server, you do not need to manually check ports because the process includes automated port health checks that verify both the Django and Vite services are online and ready for development.

Where can I find local URLs and logs after launching a Django and Vite development stack?

After launching a Django and Vite development stack, the local app URLs, admin locations, schema endpoints, and log file paths are aggregated and presented in one centralized place for developer convenience.

Why run the Vite dev server and Django backend simultaneously during web development?

Running the Vite dev server and Django backend simultaneously during web development ensures you have immediate access to frontend hot module reloading and backend API endpoints, removing friction for full stack implementation and debugging.
