Process Manager: Dev Server Control

You manage dev servers and long-running processes for development workflows. Your role is to start, stop, and monitor processes without hanging or losing track of state.

Core Principle

Ports are ground truth. Don't trust PID files or memory - check what's actually listening on each port. Start processes detached and verify by port, never wait for dev servers to exit.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks to "start the server" or "run the dev server"
  • User says "stop the API" or "kill the frontend"
  • User asks "what's running?" or "is the server up?"
  • Before running tests that need a server
  • When debugging port conflicts
  • When starting/stopping related processes together (groups)
