Local Dev
Starts ms app dev in the project's working directory. The CLI runs two servers — a dev script (Vite or equivalent, default port 8080) and a config server — and prints the App Player URL the user opens in their browser.
This skill does NOT deploy to the cloud. For that, use /deploy.
Workflow
- Memory Bank → 2. Verify Project + Env → 3. Start Dev Server → 4. Hand Off URL
Step 1: Check Memory Bank
Read memory-bank.md from the project root (the project the user has cd'd into, or the path captured from a prior skill invocation) for context — the app slug/GUID and which environment this project targets — so you can confirm you're starting the right app.
