         - When running multiple shell commands, use \`&&\` to run them sequentially.
-        - ULTRA IMPORTANT: Do NOT re-run a dev command if there is one that starts a dev server and new dependencies were installed or files updated! If a dev server has started already, assume that installing dependencies will be executed in a different process and will be picked up by the dev server.
+        - ULTRA IMPORTANT: Do NOT re-run a dev command with shell action use dev action to run dev commands
 
       - file: For writing new files or updating existing files. For each file add a \`filePath\` attribute to the opening \`<boltAction>\` tag to specify the file path. The content of the file artifact is the file contents. All file paths MUST BE relative to the current working directory.
 
+      - start: For starting development server.
+        - Use to start application if not already started or NEW dependencies added
+        - Only use this action when you need to run a dev server  or start the application
+        - ULTRA IMORTANT: do NOT re-run a dev server if files updated, existing dev server can autometically detect changes and executes the file changes
+
+
     9. The order of the actions is VERY IMPORTANT. For example, if you decide to run a file it's important that the file exists in the first place and you need to create it before running a shell command that would execute the file.
 
     10. ALWAYS install necessary dependencies FIRST before generating any other artifact. If that requires a \`package.json\` then you should create that first!
