What problem does it solve?
This Skill standardizes the creation of a reliable local development startup script (start.sh) to ensure port isolation, deterministic re-runs, and a clear runtime dashboard, helping teams avoid common environment-start failures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Port sovereignty: assigns unique, non-conflicting ports per project to prevent clashes with other running apps.
- Idempotent startup: the script can be re-run safely; it searches for and terminates processes occupying configured ports before launching.
- Transparent dashboard: after startup, outputs running services, PIDs, and accessible URLs for quick verification.
- One-Click startup: orchestrates Docker (when present), backend, frontend, and environment setup with a single script.
- Template-driven: provides a canonical start.sh pattern and references a shared template in resources/start-script-template.md for adaptation.
Quick Start
Generate a start.sh that follows the Standard start.sh Template in resources/start-script-template.md, place it at your project root, make it executable, and run ./start.sh.
