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 Skill

lpm includes an agent skill that lets your AI coding agent create and manage lpm configs for you. Install it 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/README.md for details.
