watch

skeletal-ui watch

Watches for changes to component source files and re-runs analyze automatically.

npx skeletal-ui watch

When to use

Use during active development to keep skeletons in sync without manually re-running analyze after every component change.

Behavior

  • Watches all files matching the include patterns in skeletal.config.ts
  • On change, re-runs analysis for the affected component only (equivalent to --only <Name>)
  • Uses the same Playwright crawl as analyze by default

Note

Watch mode requires your dev server to be running at the configured devServer URL. skeletal-ui does not start the dev server for you.
