What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically terminates any running processes that are occupying a specific network port, preventing the common EADDRINUSE error when starting a Node.js development server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Port Clearing: Kills existing processes on a given port before a new server instance attempts to bind to it.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on both Windows (using netstat and taskkill) and Unix-like systems (using lsof and kill).
  • Use Case: When you restart your local Node.js server and get an EADDRINUSE error because the previous instance didn't shut down cleanly, this skill will automatically clear the port for you.

Quick Start

Use the nodejs-port-cleanup skill to ensure port 3000 is free before starting your server.
