What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a reliable way to execute commands with a time limit, ensuring that processes do not run indefinitely, especially in environments where standard tools like GNU timeout might not be available (e.g., macOS).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on systems without GNU coreutils, such as macOS.
  • Process Management: Prevents runaway processes by enforcing execution time limits.
  • Use Case: When running a development server command like npm run dev that might hang, you can use this skill to ensure it times out after a specified duration, preventing build failures or resource exhaustion.

Quick Start

Execute the command 'npm run dev' with a 60-second timeout.
