What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of hunting through terminal output to find which local development server is running, what port it uses, and how to open it quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal Scanning: Reads Cursor terminal logs to identify active server processes and detect localhost URLs.
  • Server Discovery: Recognizes common framework output from tools like Next.js, Vite, Django, Flask, Rails, and Express.
  • Error Awareness: Reports port conflicts, crashed processes, and other startup issues when they appear in terminal output.
  • Browser Launching: Optionally opens the discovered app in Cursor's built-in browser for immediate verification.
  • Use Case: A developer starts several services during a project and uses this Skill to find the correct preview URL without manually checking every terminal.

Quick Start

Ask Cursor to scan your running terminals, identify any dev server URLs, and open the matching app in the built-in browser.
