Dev

ai:agent
One-command dev loop boot. Spins up portless (named HTTPS subdomain), emulate (stateful API mocks), the project's dev server, and an agent-browser session — all using the current git branch as the namespace key. Replaces the 4-terminal manual setup with a single `/ork:dev` invocation. Use when starting a new feature branch, switching worktrees, or returning to a project after a break. Skip silently when prerequisite binaries (portless, emulate, agent-browser) are missing — emits install hints.

When should I use the Dev skill?
Use Dev when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the ai tooling area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Dev" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Dev skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Dev is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
