# Boot and supervise local multi-service process stacks from one declarative file with process-compose

Start, watch, and restart a local stack of app processes together instead of juggling many terminals and ad hoc shell loops.

## Prerequisites

process-compose binary, a process-compose YAML file, local service commands and dependencies, terminal access to the development or test environment

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install process-compose from the upstream release or package instructions, define the required services in a process-compose YAML file, then launch the stack and use the documented supervision and logging commands to manage it.
```
