What problem does it solve? Deploying the ScienceDiscovery research platform involves choosing between host-process and Docker Compose modes, verifying sandbox prerequisites like bubblewrap and user namespaces, and handling ports, tokens, and process management. This Skill guides the deployment step by step without silently reconfiguring the host machine. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided deployment forms: Walks through Docker Compose or host-process deployment using scripts/start-stack.sh, with read-only environment detection before any changes. - Safe operations policy: Never runs sudo or installs global software on its own; reports gaps with suggested user-run commands and requires confirmation before proceeding. - Lifecycle management: Provides start, stop, restart, log, and health-check commands for both modes, including correct process-group shutdown for backgrounded host stacks and SSH port forwarding for remote hosts. - Use Case: A researcher asks to run ScienceDiscovery on a remote Linux workstation. The Skill checks Node, pnpm, uv, and bubblewrap versions, deploys via start-stack.sh, verifies /health, and reports the UI URL plus SSH tunneling instructions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to deploy ScienceDiscovery locally and it will first confirm whether you prefer Docker Compose or host processes, then run read-only environment checks before starting the stack.
