What this skill does
Tailscale Serve Skill Manage multiple paths with tailscale serve without conflicts. Key Commands Check what's currently served Serve a directory or file at a specific path Serve from a port at root (replaces everything) Remove a specific path Reset all serving Important Notes Path conflicts: Serving at / will override all other paths Background mode: Use --bg to keep it running Multiple paths: You can serve multiple things simultaneously with different paths Status first: Always check tailscale serve status before adding new paths Common Patterns Serve presentation alongside control UI Serve multiple directories Serve a local dev server Workflow 1. Check current status: tailscale serve status 2. Choose an unused path (e.g., /slides, /docs, /api) 3. Serve with --set-path /your-path /source 4. Verify with tailscale serve status again 5. Share the full URL: https://[hostname].ts.net/your-path Troubleshooting "Can't access my served content" Check tailscale serve status - is it at the path you expect? Did something else overwrite the root /? "Want to replace everything with a port" "Want to add to existing setup"
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
