SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of developing, testing, and maintaining local Paperclip instances, reducing setup time and minimizing risky manual operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment setup and management: Guides users through cloning repositories, installing dependencies, and configuring worktrees.
  • Server control: Starts, stops, and maintains persistent dev servers in detached sessions for ongoing testing and debugging.
  • Worktree operations: Automates creation, merging, reseeding, and cleanup of isolated work environments to support parallel development.
  • Database backups and migrations: Ensures safety and up-to-date schemas with backup and migration commands.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to test a new feature in an isolated environment and keep the server running despite heartbeat process termination.

Quick Start

Run the setup script to clone the Paperclip repository, install dependencies, and start the development environment for ongoing development tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about paperclip-dev

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a local Paperclip development environment from scratch?▼

Setting up local Paperclip development involves running a setup script that clones repositories, installs dependencies, and configures worktrees to ensure a secure and isolated environment.

How do I keep a dev server running after heartbeat process termination?▼

Keeping a dev server running after heartbeat process termination requires using server control commands to start persistent dev servers in detached sessions for ongoing testing and debugging.

What is the best way to manage worktree lifecycle for parallel Paperclip development?▼

Managing the worktree lifecycle for parallel development is handled through automated operations that create, merge, reseed, and cleanup isolated work environments to support secure parallel workflows.

How do I safely perform database backups and migrations during Paperclip development?▼

Safely performing database backups and migrations during development is done through built-in database safety procedures that ensure up-to-date schemas and secure backups before operations.

Can I run multiple isolated Paperclip instances for testing different features?▼

Running multiple isolated Paperclip instances is possible by automating worktree creation and using detached dev servers, which allows testing new features in separate and secure environments.
