What this skill does
Development Servers Instructions 1. Check if dependencies are installed: Backend: Look for backend/venv/ or ask user about Python environment Frontend: Check if frontend/nodemodules/ exists 2. Install dependencies if missing: Backend: cd backend && pip install -r requirements.txt Frontend: cd frontend && npm install 3. Start servers (recommend running in separate terminals or background): Backend: cd backend && uvicorn main:app --reload (runs on http://localhost:8000) Frontend: cd frontend && npm run dev (runs on http://localhost:5173) 4. Verify .env file exists in backend/ with OPENAIAPIKEY set Examples "Start the dev servers" "Run the app locally" "Launch backend and frontend" Guardrails Never expose or log the OPENAIAPIKEY Confirm with user before installing dependencies Warn if ports 8000 or 5173 are already in use
