This skill should be used when setting up or managing Polar local development environment with Docker.
This skill enables Claude to help manage the Polar local development environment using Docker. Use this when the user needs to start, stop, debug, or understand the local development stack.
The dev docker command automatically detects the correct instance number. No manual -i flag is needed in most cases.
Detection priority:
CONDUCTOR_PORT env var → (port - 55000) / 10 + 1You can override with -i N if needed, but auto-detection handles Conductor workspaces automatically.
