What it does

Dev is an agent skill from justrach/merjs. Build and start the merjs dev server with hot reload. Use when the user wants to run, start, or serve the project.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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. It works with WebAssembly. The repository describes itself as: A Zig-native web framework. File-based routing, SSR, type-safe APIs, WASM client interactivity. No Node. No npm. Just zig build serve. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to run
  • Serve the project

Example prompts

  • “/dev”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Kill any existing process on port 3000
  2. Regenerate routes (in case pages changed)
  3. Build the project
  4. Start the dev server in the background
  5. Wait 2 seconds, then verify the server is listening
  6. Tell the user the server is running at http://localhost:3000

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28b53d8. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 loads about 222 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~222

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.

Start merjs dev server

Steps

  1. Kill any existing process on port 3000:

    bash
    lsof -ti :3000 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null
  2. Regenerate routes (in case pages changed):

    bash
    zig build codegen
  3. Build the project:

    bash
    zig build
  4. Start the dev server in the background:

    bash
    ./zig-out/bin/merjs --port 3000 &
  5. Wait 2 seconds, then verify the server is listening:

    bash
    lsof -i :3000 -sTCP:LISTEN
  6. Tell the user the server is running at http://localhost:3000

Flags

  • --port N — listen on a different port
  • --no-dev — disable hot reload (SSE watcher)
  • --prerender — pre-render SSG pages to dist/ and exit
