local-run

local-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from me-cedric/agent-compass. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local development runner for starting project applications with process-compose and Docker Compose. Docker Compose starts related services from a configuration file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a local application stack, create or adapt a process-compose configuration, and handle local web or mobile app setup.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled way to draft, start, restart, or debug local services while checking prerequisites such as Docker, ports, VPN access, and environment values.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

local-run scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

local-run

Run the local stack with ac dev. One file, process-compose.yaml, lists every process. Never start process-compose directly. ac dev sets the socket path and the timeouts.

1. Ask before you write

Ask for each input that the repository does not show. Ask one question at a time. Do not guess.

  • Secrets: use the env skill and ac env import to get the values. Never ask the user to paste a secret in chat.
  • VPN: does an app or a registry need it? Is it on?
  • Corporate certificates: when Node fails with a certificate error, set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to the CA file. Or set NODE_OPTIONS=--use-system-ca.
  • Docker: is the daemon running? Check with docker info. Dockerfiles and a compose file to adapt are in docs/agent-compass/packs/local-run/extras/. Sync does not install them.
  • Mobile: which target? iOS needs Xcode and a simulator. Android needs the SDK and an emulator.
  • Apps: which apps must run now? Which ports are already in use?

2. Start from a draft

ac dev up --dry

When process-compose.yaml is missing, this prints a draft on stdout. It writes nothing. The draft has one infra process for the first compose file. It has one process for each app with a dev script. When the file exists, the same command validates it.

Read the warnings. A missing port means the process has no readiness probe. Two apps on one port is a clash. Save the draft as process-compose.yaml. Then edit it.

3. Write the file

For each app process:

  • Add a readiness_probe on the app port. The draft uses nc -z 127.0.0.1 <port>.
  • Add a log_location of .agents/dev/logs/<name>.log.
  • Set working_dir relative to the repository root.
  • Make the app wait for infra with condition: process_completed_successfully.
  • Use process_healthy when an app waits for another app with a probe.

Put infrastructure services in docker compose profiles:

services:
  db:
    image: postgres:17
    profiles: [infra]

Start them from the infra process:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
