What it does

Ade Web is an agent skill from arul28/ADE. Launch the ADE desktop app's renderer as a standalone web app (Vite-only preview) seeded with real data from the ADE database. Works from any lane worktree without interfering with running ADE sockets or runtimes. Use when asked to start, run, or preview the ADE desktop web renderer, open the ADE web app, or view ADE UI in a browser.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. It works with Vite. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Preview the ADE desktop web renderer
  • Open the ADE web app
  • View ADE UI in a browser

Example prompts

  • “/ade-web”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the workspace root
  2. Kill any stale Vite on port 5173
  3. Seed the database snapshot
  4. Start the Vite dev server
  5. Open in the ADE browser (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fbbd974. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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

Ade Web loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

ade-web — Launch the ADE Desktop Web Renderer

Starts the ADE desktop renderer as a browser-accessible web app on http://localhost:5173, seeded with a snapshot of the real ADE database. Safe to run alongside the ADE beta or any other running ADE runtime — it does not touch sockets or start new runtimes.

When to use

  • User asks to run, start, preview, or open the ADE web app / desktop web renderer
  • User wants to visually inspect or iterate on ADE desktop UI changes in a browser
  • User asks to launch ADE web from a specific lane or worktree

Procedure

1. Resolve the workspace root

The web renderer must run from the current lane's worktree, not the main project checkout.

WORKTREE_ROOT="$(pwd)"

If pwd is not already inside .ade/worktrees/<lane>/, resolve it:

# If inside a worktree, pwd is already correct.
# If at the project root, there is no lane context — ask the user which lane.

Confirm the desktop app exists at $WORKTREE_ROOT/apps/desktop/package.json.

2. Kill any stale Vite on port 5173
bash
lsof -ti :5173 2>/dev/null | xargs kill 2>/dev/null

Do not kill processes on any other port. Do not touch ADE runtime sockets (/tmp/ade-runtime-dev.sock, ~/.ade-beta/sock/ade.sock, etc.).

3. Seed the database snapshot

Export real data from the global ADE database into the browser mock:

bash
cd "$WORKTREE_ROOT/apps/desktop" && node ./scripts/export-browser-mock-ade-snapshot.mjs

This reads .ade/ade.db from the primary project root (auto-detected even from worktrees) and writes src/renderer/browser-mock-ade-snapshot.generated.json.

If this fails with "No database", the user hasn't opened the project in ADE desktop yet. The renderer will still work with built-in demo data.

4. Start the Vite dev server
bash
cd "$WORKTREE_ROOT/apps/desktop" && npm run dev:vite

This runs vite --port 5173 --strictPort. The predev:vite hook re-exports the snapshot automatically, so step 3 is optional if you go straight here.

Wait for the VITE ready message confirming it's listening.

5. Open in the ADE browser (optional)

If the user wants it in ADE's built-in browser:

bash
ade actions run built_in_browser createTab --socket --text --arg url=http://localhost:5173/work

Or navigate an existing tab:

bash
ade actions run built_in_browser navigate --socket --text --arg url=http://localhost:5173/work

Use --socket to communicate with the running ADE instance. This does not start a new runtime or interfere with the existing socket.

Important constraints

  • Never start a runtime or bridge. Do not run dev:vite:live, dev:browser-bridge, or ensureRuntime. These may detect version mismatches and restart the user's running ADE beta/dev runtime.
  • Never start or manage the ADE socket directly. The Vite-only preview uses browserMock.ts to stub window.ade — it does not need a runtime connection. The --socket flag on ade actions run above is fine; it connects to the running desktop instance rather than managing the socket itself.
  • Always run from the worktree. All cd commands, file reads, and file edits must target paths under $WORKTREE_ROOT, never the main project checkout. When grep or find returns absolute paths rooted at the main checkout, translate them to the worktree before editing.
  • Port 5173 only. Do not change the port. The desktop app's Vite config uses --strictPort so it will error if the port is taken rather than silently picking another.

Cleanup

When done, kill the Vite server:

bash
lsof -ti :5173 2>/dev/null | xargs kill 2>/dev/null

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
Port 5173 is already in useKill the stale process: lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill
No database at ...Run export-browser-mock-ade-snapshot.mjs with ADE_PROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/ADE pointing at the main checkout
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in ADE browserVite died — restart with npm run dev:vite from the worktree
Mock data instead of real dataRe-run the export script, then restart Vite or hard-refresh the browser
proxy error: /health ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:18765Expected — this is the browser bridge port. Vite-only mode doesn't use it. Ignore.
