System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The Skaile backend and its spawn-chain often leave orphaned processes and port conflicts when restarting or debugging. This skill cleanly terminates the backend and every process in its spawn chain (including nest start --watch, dotenvx, and bun run dev), enabling a reliable fresh start.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects and targets the backend process tree associated with port 3001 and related commands.
  • Terminates the entire chain safely (first with SIGTERM, then with SIGKILL when needed) and prevents partial restarts.
  • Verifies that port 3001 is free and no stray processes remain, providing a clean slate for a fresh backend launch.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to terminate the Skaile backend and its spawn chain to free port 3001.
