expose-localhost

Expose a local service to the public internet using ngrok.

What this skill does for you

Expose a local service to the public internet using ngrok. Starts a tunnel, optionally adds OAuth or WAF via Traffic Policy. Handles HTTP services and raw TCP (SSH, RDP, databases). Use when asked to expose, tunnel, share, or make a local service publicly accessible, or to reach a machine that has no public IP. Also covers sharing work-in-progress with a specific person and the dev-server quirks that break a shared preview.
