What problem does it solve? Manually launching the CONSTRUCT views server involves checking for stale processes, finding a free port, and verifying the server actually started. This Skill automates that entire startup sequence with fail-fast pre-flight checks and clear error messages. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-flight validation: Verifies the views build exists, detects already-running servers via the PID file, and cleans up stale PID files before starting. - Automatic port selection: Scans ports 3001–3009 and binds the first free one, failing clearly if all are occupied. - Verified detached startup: Launches the serve binary directly (no npm wrapper) so the recorded PID is the real server process, then confirms the process is alive and the port is bound. - Use Case: You say "Start CONSTRUCT" and the Skill brings up the views SPA at http://localhost:3001/, records the PID in views/server.pid, and reports the URL, PID, and log location. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to start CONSTRUCT or show the views, and it will launch the views server and report the local URL.
