What it does

Scaffold a one-command `dev-local` launcher for ANY codebase. Investigates the repo to find its services, ports, and infra dependencies, then generates a single `scripts/dev-local.sh` (up/down/status/logs/restart) that runs every dev server in one tmux session, plus a short skill doc describing it. Use when someone says "set up dev-local", "make a one-command dev launcher", "I want one script to start this repo", "scaffold dev-local for this project".

Set up a dev-local launcher for this codebase

Goal: produce one script (scripts/dev-local.sh) that a person or agent runs to bring the whole local stack up, every long-lived dev server in its own tmux window, plus any infra (DB, cache, queues) the app needs, and a short skill doc so it's discoverable later.

Do NOT start any dev servers yourself. You are generating the launcher, not running it. Build it, syntax-check it, then hand it to the user to run.

This is the local, single-stack launcher. For concurrent agents that each need their own isolated stack (one laptop can't run N), see crabbox-setup, the cloud counterpart. It reuses this script's service/port discovery, so set this up first.

Step 1, Investigate the repo (don't guess)
