File contents

Local Stop

Use this skill to stop local development servers for this app.

Commands

Intent	Scope	Default target
`/localstop`	Current Teleprompt app only	`localhost:5173` / Vite
`/localstopall`	Local dev servers only	Common Node/Bun/Vite/Next dev listeners

Rules

Do not modify files.
Do not change git state.
Do not deploy.
Prefer graceful shutdown first.
Never kill Docker, database, Convex cloud, system, browser, editor, VPN, or OS services.
For /localstopall, inspect candidate processes before killing. Kill only obvious local dev servers.
If a process is ambiguous, report it instead of killing it.

`/localstop` Workflow

Check whether the current app port is listening:
```
lsof -nP -iTCP:5173 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
If the running process belongs to this Teleprompt app or is clearly Vite on port 5173, stop it:
```
kill <pid>
```
Recheck:
```
lsof -nP -iTCP:5173 -sTCP:LISTEN
```
If it still exists, use one stronger signal only for the same confirmed PID:
```
kill -TERM <pid>
```
Report whether localhost:5173 is stopped.

`/localstopall` Workflow

List local listening processes:
```
lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
```
Identify obvious dev-server candidates by command/name/port, such as:
- vite
- next dev
- astro dev
- remix dev
- webpack
- turbo dev
- npm run dev
- pnpm dev
- bun --hot
- node processes clearly serving app dev ports
Stop only confirmed dev-server PIDs:
```
kill <pid> <pid>
```
Recheck local listeners and report what was stopped and what was left alone.

Notes

localhost:5173 is the normal Vite dev server for this app.
If the server is running from a tool session, sending Ctrl-C to that session is preferred when available.
If permissions block kill, request the smallest required escalation for that kill command only.
