Aspire Stop

Stop Aspire

dotnet run --project developer-cli -- stop [--all] [--port <basePort>]

Use developer-cli exactly as written - do not expand to an absolute worktree path.

Stops the Aspire AppHost and its associated Docker containers (postgres, azurite, mailpit, stripe-cli) - not just the Aspire process. Persistent containers survive a plain aspire stop by design, so this skill cleans them up too.

• (no flag) - stop the current worktree's stack
• --all - stop every worktree of this repository (via git worktree list). Only use when the user explicitly asks to stop everything - never as a default
• --port <basePort> - stop the worktree on that base port (e.g. 9000, 9100, 9200); also cleans up Docker containers for that port even if the worktree was deleted

The flags are mutually exclusive.

When to use

• To free up ports without restarting (rare - aspire-restart is the everyday default).
• To stop a stack from another worktree without switching to it (--port).
• Before deleting a worktree, to ensure its Docker containers don't leak.

Output

The CLI prints what it stopped (Aspire process trees + each docker rm --force'd container) and exits.
