Why lpm?
- Native macOS app — GUI with live terminal, config editor, notes, and theme support
- No Docker required — runs your services natively
- Auto-detects project setup — Rails, Next.js, Go, Django, Flask, Docker Compose
- Profiles for running service subsets
- Actions — one-shot commands like tests, migrations, and deploys, runnable from the Actions button
- Works with any stack — if it runs in a terminal, lpm can manage it
AI Agent Skills
lpm ships two agent skills: lpm-config writes and edits project config, and lpm-cli drives the lpm command-line tool to control running projects (start/stop, logs, status, duplicate). Install them via skills.sh:
npx skills add gug007/lpm
Then just tell your agent "set up lpm for this project" and it will analyze your codebase, discover services, and write the config.
See lpm-config/README.md and lpm-cli/README.md for details.
