Pitchfork · knowsuchagency bundle Comprehensive guide for pitchfork, a daemon/process manager for developers (by jdx, author of mise). Use this skill whenever the user mentions pitchfork, pitchfork.toml, or needs help managing background processes and long-running dev services: starting/stopping/restarting daemons, running a command in the background, viewing/following daemon logs, defining services in pitchfork.toml, the shell hook for auto start/stop on entering/leaving a project directory, ready checks (delay, output regex, HTTP, TCP port, custom command), file-watch restarts, cron-scheduled tasks, dependency chains and groups, lifecycle hooks (on_ready/on_fail/on_retry/on_stop/on_exit), auto-restart/retry on failure, resource limits, the reverse proxy with stable *.localhost URLs, the TUI dashboard, boot/supervisor management, container mode, or its MCP server. Also use when the user wants a lighter alternative to pm2/foreman/overmind/systemd for local dev, or wants to prevent duplicate background processes.
