    About This Skill

    Streamlined Local Development Orchestration

    Transform your single-container project into a robust, multi-service development environment. This skill automates the tedious process of wiring up databases, caches, and message brokers by analyzing your existing source code and Dockerfiles.

    What it does

    • Stack Detection: Analyzes manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, etc.) to identify your framework and language.
    • Dependency Discovery: Scans imports and environment variables to detect requirements like PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or MinIO.
    • Intelligent Scaffolding: Generates a full suite of configuration files including health checks, service dependencies, and network aliases.
    • Reference-First Config: Implements industry best practices by using .env references instead of hardcoded strings in YAML.

    Why use this skill

    Instead of manually copy-pasting Compose snippets and fighting with networking issues, this skill provides a developer-ready environment in seconds. It ensures your application waits for dependencies to be healthy, not just running, preventing startup crashes. It also provides a Makefile to standardize common operations across your team, making "day 1" setup as simple as make up.

    Supported Tools

    • Languages: Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Rust, Ruby, PHP.
    • Services: Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Kafka, MinIO, Mailpit.
    • Automation: Provides Makefile targets and wait-for-it.sh synchronization scripts.
