# Speak Local Dev Loop
## Overview
Set up a fast, reproducible local development workflow for Speak language learning integrations.
## Prerequisites
- Completed `speak-install-auth` setup
- Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm
- Code editor with TypeScript support
- Git for version control
- Audio testing tools (optional)
## Instructions
1. For full implementation details, load: `Read(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation-guide.md)`
## Output
- Working development environment with hot reload
- Configured test suite with mocking
- Environment variable management
- Fast iteration cycle for Speak development
- Mock tutor for offline development
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Module not found | Missing dependency | Run `npm install` |
| Port in use | Another process | Kill process or change port |
| Env not loaded | Missing .env.local | Copy from .env.example |
| Test timeout | Slow network | Use mocks or increase timeout |
| Audio not playing | Browser security | Use HTTPS in dev |
## Examples
### Debug Mode with Verbose Logging
```bash
set -euo pipefail
# Enable verbose logging for Speak operations
DEBUG=speak:* npm run dev
# Log only speech recognition
DEBUG=speak:speech npm run dev
# Log tutor interactions
DEBUG=speak:tutor npm run dev
```

```json
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "tsx watch src/index.ts",
