How It Works

  1. Identify the runtime — Managed runtime (Node.js, Java, Python) or custom Docker container.
  2. Load references/appsail-basics.md — for PORT config, environment variables, Dockerfile requirements, and deploy commands.
  3. PORT rule — Always use process.env.XZOHOCATALYSTLISTENPORT, never hardcode PORT or 3000.
  4. AppSail vs Functions decision — If the user is unsure which to use, apply this matrix:
Catalyst Functions AppSail
Code structure Catalyst-specific templates required Any framework, any format, fully independent
Use case HTTP handlers, events, cron, Zoho integrations Persistent servers, long-running processes, Docker
Billing Per API call Per instance uptime
Dependency management Handled by Catalyst You manage all libraries and frameworks

Triggers

Use this skill for: "AppSail", "persistent server", "Docker on Catalyst", "backend hosting", XZOHOCATALYSTLISTENPORT, appsail:add, "catalyst managed runtime", "deploy Express app", "AppSail vs Functions", "long-running process on Catalyst", or "containerized app on Catalyst".
