SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual effort of configuring and launching a local Autumn web framework development environment, handling prerequisite checks and server startup automatically so you can focus on writing code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-flight Environment Checks: Automatically verifies database configuration and Tailwind setup before starting the server to prevent common startup failures.
  • Hot Reload Development Server: Launches the Autumn dev server with automatic recompilation and restart when src/, templates/, or static/ files change.
  • Runtime Visibility: Provides options to view all registered routes, tasks, middleware, and configuration at startup, plus access to health, task, and job endpoints for local testing.
  • Use Case: Rust developers building Autumn applications can use this Skill to start a fully configured local dev instance in seconds, without manually running setup commands or debugging environment issues.

Quick Start

Use the dev skill to start the local Autumn development server with hot reload enabled for your current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a local Autumn web framework development server with hot reload?

To start a local Autumn development server with hot reload, use this Skill to automatically validate environment prerequisites and launch the dev instance. It handles pre-flight database and Tailwind setup checks before initializing the hot reload server.

What does hot reload track in a Rust Autumn web framework project?

Autumn hot reload automatically tracks changes in src/, templates/, and static/ directories. When file modifications are detected in these folders, the development server triggers automatic recompilation and restarts the local instance.

Do I need to configure database and Tailwind settings before launching an Autumn dev server?

You do not need to manually configure database and Tailwind settings before launching the Autumn dev server. The Skill performs pre-flight environment checks to automatically verify database configuration and Tailwind setup to prevent common startup failures.

Can I view registered routes, tasks, and middleware when starting an Autumn development server?

Yes, you can view registered routes, tasks, middleware, and configuration at startup when launching the Autumn development server. The Skill provides runtime visibility and exposes health, task, and job endpoints for local testing.

How do I target a specific workspace package when running a local Autumn dev server?

The local Autumn dev server supports workspace package targeting to run specific packages within your Rust project. You can specify the target package to ensure the hot reload development server compiles and serves the correct application instance.
