Compass needs the compass ruby gem. If you don't already have it: gem update --system and gem install compass

note: Don't touch the templates folder in /craft it will be overwritten on build. Work on the ones in app/templates

gulp watch to start the watch task, at the moment you will have to use a browser extention for live reload.
gulp to build for production, all the magic happens and template files will be moved to craft/templates, resources (images/js/css) will be concatinated, minified and wrapped in silk before they end up in /public. Having some issues with uglyfication of js.
gulp bower Injects bower dependencies into _layout.html. This task will run on gulp watch as well. Remember to --save when installing components.

Set /app as server root on development and /public for production.
