Dev Server Skill
Centralized management of Next.js dev servers across multiple git worktrees. The daemon handles port allocation, environment variable injection, and log aggregation so that any agent can access dev server logs regardless of who started the server.
Quick Start
# Check what's running
node .claude/skills/dev-server/cli.mjs status
# Start a dev server for current worktree
node .claude/skills/dev-server/cli.mjs start
# Start for a specific worktree
node .claude/skills/dev-server/cli.mjs start /path/to/worktree
# View logs
node .claude/skills/dev-server/cli.mjs logs <session-id>
# Stop a session
node .claude/skills/dev-server/cli.mjs stop <session-id>
Checking if server is ready: After starting, poll the session status to check ready: true. The daemon marks sessions ready either via configured health check endpoint or by detecting "Ready" patterns in logs.
