dev-start

To start a development server with dependency installation and health checks, this Skill initiates the project, installs necessary packages, verifies port availability, and queries a configurable endpoint to confirm server readiness.

Yes, this dev server launcher supports both Python and Node.js projects. It automatically detects the project type and uses the appropriate package manager, including uv, pip, npm, pnpm, or yarn, to manage dependencies.

To resolve port conflicts when launching full-stack development environments, this Skill automatically checks for port availability during startup and supports launching multiple services simultaneously to ensure no conflicts occur.

A health check endpoint verifies local development server readiness by sending a request to a configurable URL. The Skill waits for a successful response from this endpoint before confirming that the server is fully operational and ready for use.

Yes, you can launch multiple services for a full-stack application at the same time. This Skill supports multi-service environments, allowing you to spin up both backend APIs and frontend clients concurrently with individual health checks.

Your development server might fail due to missing dependencies if package installation is interrupted. This Skill prevents this by automatically detecting the project type and installing required dependencies using the correct package manager before starting the server.
