pwragent-dev-profile

name: pwragent-dev-profile description: Start, stop, restart, and verify the local PwrAgent Electron development app with PWRAGENT_PROFILE=dev from the current checkout. Use when Codex needs to close any running dev-profile PwrAgent instance, launch pnpm dev in the current working directory, or confirm the dev-profile app came up.

PwrAgent Dev Profile

Use this skill to manage the local PwrAgent Electron app for the dev profile from the checkout Codex is currently working in.

Commands

Run commands from the repository root unless the user asks for a different checkout.

Start or restart the dev-profile app:

.agents/skills/pwragent-dev-profile/scripts/pwragent-dev-profile.zsh restart --root "$PWD"

Close the dev-profile app if it is running:

.agents/skills/pwragent-dev-profile/scripts/pwragent-dev-profile.zsh close --root "$PWD"

Check whether the dev-profile app is running:

.agents/skills/pwragent-dev-profile/scripts/pwragent-dev-profile.zsh status --root "$PWD"

List the profile's recorded app instances and messaging lease owner:

.agents/skills/pwragent-dev-profile/scripts/pwragent-dev-profile.zsh leases

Verify that a previously started instance is still up:

.agents/skills/pwragent-dev-profile/scripts/pwragent-dev-profile.zsh verify --root "$PWD"

Workflow

1. Run status first when the user asks what is running or when closing processes may be surprising.
2. Run restart when the user asks to start the dev profile; it closes the prior managed dev-profile instance, starts PWRAGENT_PROFILE=dev PWRAGENT_INSTANCE_ROOT="$PWD" pnpm dev detached from the checkout, and waits until the app writes a matching profile runtime record.
3. Run close when the user only wants the dev-profile app stopped.
4. Relay the script output and the log path to the user. The default log is .local/pwragent-dev-profile.log.

Script Notes

• The script defaults to --profile dev, --root "$PWD", .local/pwragent-dev-profile.pid, and .local/pwragent-dev-profile.log.
• Prefer restart over hand-running PWRAGENT_PROFILE=dev pnpm dev; the script passes PWRAGENT_INSTANCE_ROOT, starts a detached daemon helper, then uses the app's lease-backed runtime metadata in ~/.pwragent/profiles/dev/state/state.db to find the Electron owner process.
• The detached daemon helper stops the pnpm dev supervisor when the first lease-backed Electron instance it started exits, so closing the spawned app does not leave a dev supervisor relaunching it.
• The script only targets the app instance whose recorded root hash matches the requested checkout, plus that instance's bounded pnpm dev / electron-vite parent chain.
• Use leases when debugging which process owns the profile messaging lease.
• If verification fails, inspect the last log lines printed by the script before retrying.
