1. **Identify the runtime** — Managed runtime (Node.js, Java, Python) or custom Docker container.
Identify the runtime — Managed runtime (Node.js, Java, Python) or custom Docker container.
Load references/appsail-basics.md — for PORT config, environment variables, Dockerfile requirements, and deploy commands.
PORT rule — Always use process.env.X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT, never hardcode PORT or 3000.
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, WebSockets, long-running processes, Docker |
| Billing | Per API call | Per instance uptime |
| Dependency management | Handled by Catalyst | You manage all libraries and frameworks |
Use this skill for: "AppSail", "persistent server", "Docker on Catalyst", "backend hosting", X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT, appsail:add, "catalyst managed runtime", "deploy Express app", "WebSockets on Catalyst", "AppSail vs Functions", "long-running process on Catalyst", or "containerized app on Catalyst".
