What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to operate PM2, a tool that keeps Node.js applications running on a server. Once installed, the agent can ask PM2 for a list of running processes, see their metrics, start or stop them, restart them, and read their recent logs, using a command-line wrapper called cli-anything-pm2. It is designed to return machine-readable JSON so the agent can parse results reliably.

Great for

  • Developers who run Node.js services under PM2 and want an assistant to check status or read logs
  • Ops engineers who want quick, scripted restarts or log checks on a server they control

Skip it if

  • Machines you do not own or administer, because restarting or deleting processes can take down live services
  • Anyone who does not already use PM2, since the skill only wraps an existing PM2 installation

Try asking

  • “List all PM2 processes and tell me which ones are stopped”
  • “Show the last 50 log lines for the api process”
  • “Restart the worker process and confirm it came back up”
  • “Show the PM2 version and current metrics for all processes”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask the agent to use JSON output so results are parsed rather than read from tables
  • Review start, stop, delete and startup commands before letting the agent run them on production servers
