At a glance

Scaffold a one-command dev-local launcher for ANY codebase. An agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills.

  • Works in 4 steps: Investigate the repo (don't guess) → Generate scripts/dev-local.sh → Write a short skill doc → …
  • Someone says set up dev-local
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1 — Investigate the repo…, Step 2 — Generate…, Step 3 — Write a short skill doc and Step 4 — Hand off, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls pnpm, npm and cargo

What it does

Dev Local Setup is an agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills. Scaffold a one-command dev-local launcher for ANY codebase. Investigates the repo to find its services, ports, and infra dependencies, then generates a single scripts/dev-local.sh (up/down/status/logs/restart) that runs every dev server in one tmux session, plus a short skill doc describing it. Use when someone says "set up dev-local", "make a one-command dev launcher", "I want one script to start this repo", "scaffold dev-local for this project".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including assets (for example `assets/dev-local.template.sh`).

It sits in Development. It works with tmux and Docker. The repository describes itself as: Codebase harness + loop engineer.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says set up dev-local
  • Make a one-command dev launcher
  • I want one script to start this repo
  • Scaffold dev-local for this project

Example prompts

  • “set up dev-local”
  • “make a one-command dev launcher”
  • “I want one script to start this repo”
  • “/dev-local-setup”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Investigate the repo (don't guess)
  2. Generate scripts/dev-local.sh
  3. Write a short skill doc
  4. Hand off

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 917780c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • npm
    • cargo
    • uvicorn
    • supabase
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, npm and supabase, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dev Local Setup loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 632 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 632 words (~1,273 tokens).

“Goal: produce one script (scripts/dev-local.sh) that a person or agent runs to bring the whole local stack up — every long-lived dev server in its own tmux window, plus any infra (DB, cache, queues) the app needs — and a…”
