What it does
Page Serve is an agent skill from yonatangross/orchestkit. Hand a human a rendered HTML page at a stable HTTPS URL. Registers a portless route for a file or directory (https://NAME.localhost/, never a :port), prints the URL, optionally screenshots it, and tears it down on stop. Use when an agent produced a page a human is meant to open: glyph explainers, playgrounds, decision pages, docs previews. Replaces ad hoc python http.server plus alias patterns that leave servers alive.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/serve.sh`, `scripts/status.sh` and `scripts/stop.sh`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code 2.1.277+
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering HTML artifacts. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: The Complete AI Development Toolkit for Claude Code. 106 skills, 36 agents, 171 hooks. Install ork for stable (v9.x), or ork-alpha for the v10 line, which ships daily. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- An agent produced a page a human is meant to open: glyph explainers
- Tasks that involve HTML artifacts
Example prompts
- “/page-serve”
Requirements
- Python 3

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e4ff8d9. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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.
Compatibility
Claude Code 2.1.277+
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Page Serve loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 639 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

page-serve, give a human a URL
An agent that renders a page for a human needs a way to hand it over. The pattern
that grew in sessions was python3 -m http.server 8991 plus portless alias <name> 8991
typed by hand: no record of the process, no stop, servers outliving the session,
and one measured night (2026-09-06) where the same session did it twice and the
server was still up the next morning. This skill is that pattern with a state file,
a stop, a status, and a loud failure when the URL contract cannot be met.
The contract
- The URL is
https://<name>.localhost/<file>. No port, ever. portless's 443 service owns the port; a:1355or:8991in the URL is the pre-service fallback and the skill refuses rather than emit one. - One static server per name, on a free loopback port, rooted at the file's directory (so sibling assets resolve) or at the directory you pass.
- State in
.claude/state/page-serve/<name>.json: root, file, port, pid, url, time.statusre-measures pid, route, and HTTP on every call; it never trusts the file. - Idempotent per name: same name + same root reuses the live server; a different root
replaces it;
--forceon the alias overrides a stale route with the same name.
Usage
page-serve docs/playgrounds/roadmap-2026-09-07.html
page-serve docs/playgrounds/ --name playgrounds
page-serve <path> --screenshot # agent-browser, returns the png path
page-serve status [--json]
page-serve stop <name>
page-serve stop --allserve.sh prints url=, name=, port=, pid=, http=, optional screenshot=,
and the exact stop= line to paste. Put the url= line in your reply's Open section.
Modes
| Invocation | Script | What happens |
|---|---|---|
<path> [flags] | scripts/serve.sh | prerequisites, server, alias, state, curl check, optional screenshot |
status [--json] | scripts/status.sh | one line per served page: server up/dead, route registered/missing, HTTP code |
stop <name> or stop --all | scripts/stop.sh | alias removed, server killed, state and screenshot deleted; every step reports |
Failure modes, all loud
| Condition | Exit | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| portless not installed | 2 | install line, then portless service install |
| 443 service not responding | 2 | portless service status, the operator's launchctl kickstart line, and "do not fall back to a :port URL" |
| server did not bind | 3 | port and log path |
| alias registration failed | 2 | portless's own message, server cleaned up |
| route up but URL not 200 | 4 | code, curl rc, and portless list; server left running for inspection |
| screenshot failed | 0 | reported on stderr, page still served, screenshot= line omitted |
A page that "served" but does not answer 200 through the proxy is exit 4, not 0, so a caller that only reads the exit code cannot report a dead link as done.

Screenshot
With agent-browser installed the default is to take one (--no-screenshot to skip;
--screenshot to insist and get a stderr line if it is missing). The png lands
beside the state file. The screenshot is evidence the page rendered, not proof it
rendered correctly: read the image before claiming the page looks right
(the glyph skill's rule 1).
What this is not
- Not a dev server. For a framework app with hot reload use
dev, which wraps the app's own dev command in portless. This skill serves static files. - Not a publisher. Nothing leaves the machine;
.localhostresolves locally only. - Not a docs-site deploy. Lab pages under
docs/site/public/lab/still ship through the docs-site build; this skill is for the hand-over before or beside that.
Retiring the old pattern (#3900)
Any skill or page that tells an agent to run python3 -m http.server or to type
portless alias by hand should say page-serve <path> instead. As of this
skill's first release, grep -rln 'http.server' src/skills is empty; the pattern
lived in session habits and in hq-ext, so the sweep is glyph, playground,
visualize-plan and expect (the four that hand a human a page) plus hq-ext's glyph.
