What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted time and misdiagnosed issues by ensuring a backend development server is running correctly before API tests are executed. It avoids common pitfalls like port conflicts and server startup failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Port Conflict Detection: Identifies if the target port is already in use.
  • Server Startup Guidance: Provides explicit commands for starting the server from the correct directory.
  • Readiness Verification: Uses a quick health check (curl) to confirm the server is responsive.
  • Use Case: Before running automated integration tests for a new feature, use this Skill to confirm the local development server is up and accessible on the expected port.

Quick Start

Ensure the backend server is running and accessible by checking the port, starting it from the correct directory, and verifying its health with a quick curl command.
