Serve Skill

Start service(s) locally for development.

Usage

/serve                  # Start default service (or show options)
/serve all              # Start all services
/serve frontend         # Start frontend only
/serve backend          # Start backend only
/serve <service-name>   # Start a specific named service

Instructions

First: Read context/build.md for local development setup and service definitions.

Determine scope from $ARGUMENTS:

Argument	Action
<service-name>	{{SERVE_CMD_SINGLE}} <service-name>
all	{{SERVE_CMD_ALL}}
frontend	{{SERVE_CMD_FRONTEND}}
backend	{{SERVE_CMD_BACKEND}}
(empty)	Show available services from context/build.md

Rules:

• Run services in background (async) so the session stays responsive
• After starting, show the expected URLs (from context/build.md)
• If a port is already in use: report the conflict and suggest lsof -i :<port> to identify the process
• NEVER run interactive servers in foreground — use background execution

Example (if context/build.md has commands):

# Backend
pnpm --filter api dev &

# Frontend
pnpm --filter web dev &
