Start, stop, or check Dev Graph services on this machine. Use when the user asks to start Dev Graph, start backend only, start full stack, restart, stop, or check Docker, Neo4j, API, or UI status, or to provide a specific Dev Graph page URL.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use this skill to run Dev Graph locally with the right subset of services.
- Distinctive: line 18
If missing, stop and ask for the correct working directory.
- Distinctive: line 26
stop: stop Docker services and list any remaining processes
- Distinctive: line 29
Check Docker CLI and Docker Compose:
- Distinctive: line 32
If Docker is installed but not running, say so and stop.
- Distinctive: line 44
When launching uvicorn or npm, use new terminal windows so the main session stays responsive.
- Very specific: line 63
Do not redirect uvicorn output to dev_graph_api.log in the repo root.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Start Dev Graph
Use this skill to run Dev Graph locally with the right subset of services.
Quickstart
- Full stack:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills\\start-dev-graph\\scripts\\start_dev_graph.ps1 -Mode full - Backend only:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills\\start-dev-graph\\scripts\\start_dev_graph.ps1 -Mode backend
Workflow
- Confirm repo root
- Require
developer_graph/api.pyandstart_dev_graph.ps1. - If missing, stop and ask for the correct working directory.
- Decide the requested mode
- full: Neo4j + API + UI
- backend: Neo4j + API only
- services: just Neo4j
- frontend: only Dev Graph UI
- status: report what is running
- stop: stop Docker services and list any remaining processes
- Docker preflight
- Check Docker CLI and Docker Compose:
docker versiondocker compose version
- If Docker is installed but not running, say so and stop.
- Start sequence
- full: run
.\start_dev_graph.ps1 - backend:
docker compose up -d neo4juvicorn developer_graph.api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --reload
- services:
docker compose up -d neo4j
- frontend:
cd tools/dev-graph-uithennpm run dev
When launching uvicorn or npm, use new terminal windows so the main session stays responsive.
- Status checks
docker compose ps- The script prints a port readiness summary (7474/7687/8080/3001).
- Report URLs:
- Stop sequence
docker compose down- Remind the user to close any uvicorn or npm windows still running.
Notes
- Docker Compose service name is
neo4jindocker-compose.yml. - The Windows batch script uses
neo4j_db; do not copy that name here. - Do not redirect uvicorn output to
dev_graph_api.login the repo root. The app writes the same file and will raise a permission error. - The UI may choose port 3001 if 3000 is already in use; the script expects 3001.
Script
- Run:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File skills\\start-dev-graph\\scripts\\start_dev_graph.ps1 -Mode full - Backend only:
-Mode backend - Frontend + open page:
-Mode frontend -Open -Page /dev-graph/structure - Note:
-Openis required to open a browser;-Pagealone will not open anything.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
