Individual skill
guidewire-local-dev-loop
Iterate on Gosu rules and configuration without paying the full 5–15 minute runServer rebuild every time. Use when standing up Guidewire Studio against a local InsuranceSuite instance, attaching an IntelliJ remote debugger to runServer, distinguishing changes that hot-reload from changes that force restart, or building a GUnit-driven TDD cycle for rule logic. Trigger with "guidewire studio", "gosu hot reload", "gosu debugger", "gunit", "guidewire runServer".

# Guidewire Local Dev Loop
## Overview
Run a local InsuranceSuite instance and iterate on Gosu rule logic in seconds, not minutes. The single biggest productivity killer in Guidewire development is paying the 5–15 minute `gradle runServer` cold-start cost on every change because the developer does not know which edits hot-reload and which force a restart.
Three production problems this skill prevents:
1. **Restart cascade** — developer changes a Gosu rule, restarts runServer, waits 8 minutes, finds the rule was wrong, repeats. A full day disappears in restarts.
2. **Silent stale code** — Studio claims it hot-reloaded a class but the running JVM is still executing the old bytecode (common when interfaces change). Tests pass against stale code.
3. **GUnit drift** — unit tests for Gosu rules diverge from the rules themselves because the cycle to run a single test through Studio is too slow; developers stop writing them.
