Makefile Development Workflow

When to use

Use this skill when you need to:

• Start development services (database, backend API, frontend)
• Stop services cleanly
• Run end-to-end tests with Playwright
• Check service health status
• Build and deploy applications
• Clean build artifacts
• Manage the full development stack with a single command

Core concepts

The repository includes a unified Makefile (at repo root) that wraps complex shell commands into simple targets. This replaces scattered docker-compose commands and cargo/npm invocations with a consistent interface.
