What problem does it solve?
Starting a project locally can be slow and error-prone because you must manually install dependencies, launch multiple services, and verify that everything is actually healthy before you begin development.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Auto-detect project services: Scans for common ecosystems (Node/Next/Vite, Python/FastAPI/Django, Go, Docker Compose databases/caches) and builds a services plan.
- Dependency installation orchestration: Installs runtime dependencies across supported package managers (e.g., npm/pnpm/yarn and Python dependency managers) before starting services.
- Health checks and lifecycle commands: Runs service health verification, then supports stopping and viewing aggregated logs for the same environment.
- Use Case: You open a new repo, want the backend + frontend + Postgres/Redis to be running and verified, and you want a reusable local config that avoids re-detection on every restart.
Quick Start
Run /run-local to detect your project, install dependencies, start all local services, and verify health.
