High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Starting a dev server without port conflicts is handled by scanning common ports, detecting active conflicts, and automatically selecting a safe alternative to launch your local frontend or backend project.
Yes, you can launch multiple apps in a monorepo by detecting the workspace structure and package manager lockfiles, which allows the skill to start each application in sequence with correctly assigned, conflict-free ports.
Yes, dev server startup supports docker-compose by detecting its presence in the project directory and using that signal to apply the appropriate launch logic for your containerized environment.
The best way to clean up stale processes before opening a local development server is to use an environment-aware startup script that terminates lingering tasks and automatically opens the browser once the chosen port is ready.
Environment detection for choosing the right dev server works by checking for docker-compose files, monorepo structures, and package manager lockfiles, using these signals to launch the appropriate dev server configuration.
