Diagnose and fix concrete MSBuild property defects in projects and existing shared-file hierarchies. USE FOR: conditions, defaults, append versus overwrite, last-write-wins values, OS/TFM checks, portable paths, normalization, and reviews centered on those property defects. Property defects in Directory.Build.* remain in scope, including overwritten values across parent/child imports and conditions that run before TargetFramework is set, even when the fix changes import order or moves a property group to .targets. DO NOT USE FOR: placement-only or import-only requests with no concrete property defect, such as discovering shared files or choosing which file owns a target or customization (use directory-build-organization); item operations; target structure; broad reviews without a concrete property defect; non-MSBuild work.

Use SonarJS-derived rules in .NET repositories that ship JavaScript or TypeScript frontends and need deeper bug-risk, code-smell, or cognitive-complexity checks than a minimal ESLint baseline. USE FOR: SonarQube, SonarCloud, or eslint-plugin-sonarjs setups; frontend code smells; cognitive complexity and deeper bug-risk rules. DO NOT USE FOR: lightweight base lint setups with no extra smell or complexity rules; teams that reject Sonar tooling. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Use webhint in .NET repositories that ship browser-facing frontends. Use when a repo needs CLI audits for accessibility, performance, security headers, PWA signals, SEO, or runtime page quality against a. USE FOR: the repo ships a browser-facing site and the user asks about accessibility, performance, SEO, security headers, or page quality; the repo has .hintrc, hint scripts, or a. DO NOT USE FOR: JavaScript or TypeScript semantic linting; route that to eslint or biome; stylesheet-only linting; route that to stylelint. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Use `pvanalyze` to inspect existing .NET `.nettrace` files from the command line, including GC, JIT, CPU stacks, allocation, DATAS, events, exceptions, timeline, and call-tree analysis with JSON or SpeedScope. USE FOR: the user mentions pvanalyze, PerfView-style CLI trace analysis, or cross-platform .nettrace inspection; the task starts from an existing .nettrace file and needs. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Own MSBuild import and hook discovery. USE FOR: CustomBefore/CustomAfter hooks, ordered wildcard and NuGet auto-imports, control properties, build/buildTransitive packed layout, package ID and file-name matching, per-TFM forwarders, and tracing why assets or hooks are missing, broken, or replaced. An import guard remains in scope when it is one defect in a broader hook/import flow. DO NOT USE for a focused safety verdict on whether one specific Import needs Exists or is an intentionally unguarded package contract; use msbuild-antipatterns. NEVER INVOKE when imports and hook placement already work and the request is only target Inputs/Outputs, incremental skipping, or FileWrites clean tracking; use incremental-build or target-authoring. Exclude props-versus-targets placement and non-MSBuild systems.

Analyze MSBuild binary logs to diagnose build failures. USE FOR: build errors that are unclear from console output, diagnosing cascading failures across multi-project builds, tracing MSBuild target execution order, and generally any MSBuild build issues. Requires an existing .binlog file. DO NOT USE FOR: generating binlogs (use binlog-generation), binlog MCP startup or connection failures (use troubleshoot-binlog-mcp), non-MSBuild build systems.

USE ONLY for (1) two or more projects with repeated MSBuild policy, targets, or package versions, or (2) an existing Directory.Build.props/targets/rsp hierarchy with an import, placement, or layering defect. A one-project repo without an existing Directory.Build file is outside scope; do not load this skill. Covers centralizing shared policy and targets, Directory.Packages.props across projects, parent hierarchy/import structure, props-versus-targets placement, and folder/project exceptions. An existing hierarchy defect remains in scope when only one project is affected. For property value or condition semantics use property-patterns. Exclude legacy-to-SDK migration and non-MSBuild systems.

Guide for optimizing MSBuild incremental builds. USE FOR: builds slower than expected on subsequent runs, 'nothing changed but it rebuilds anyway', diagnosing why targets re-execute unnecessarily, fixing broken no-op builds. Covers 8 common causes: missing Inputs/Outputs on custom targets, volatile properties in output paths (timestamps/GUIDs), file writes outside tracked Outputs, missing FileWrites registration, glob changes, Visual Studio Fast Up-to-Date Check (FUTDC) issues. Key diagnostic: look for 'Building target completely' vs 'Skipping target' in binlog. DO NOT USE FOR: first-time build slowness (use build-perf-baseline), parallelism issues (use build-parallelism), evaluation-phase slowness (use eval-performance), non-MSBuild build systems.

Generate MSBuild binary logs (binlogs) for build diagnostics and analysis. USE FOR: adding /bl:{} to any dotnet build, test, pack, publish, or restore command to capture a full build execution trace, prerequisite for binlog-failure-analysis and build-perf-diagnostics skills, enabling post-build investigation of errors or performance. Requires MSBuild 17.8+ / .NET 8 SDK+ for {} placeholder; PowerShell must quote the complete switch as '-bl:{}'. DO NOT USE FOR: non-MSBuild build systems (npm, Maven, CMake), analyzing an existing binlog (use binlog-failure-analysis instead), binlog MCP startup failures (use troubleshoot-binlog-mcp).

Diagnose MSBuild bottlenecks from binlog timelines and Target/Task Performance Summaries after build-perf-baseline establishes measurements. USE FOR: unknown build slowness, RAR >5s, analyzers >30% of Csc, one target >50% of build time, node utilization <80%, excessive Copy tasks, finding restore overhead. DO NOT USE FOR: known repeated-restore fixes (use eliminate-redundant-restores), initial baselines (use build-perf-baseline), incremental rebuilds (use incremental-build), parallelism tuning (use build-parallelism), non-MSBuild builds.

Activate this skill when BenchmarkDotNet (BDN) is involved in the task — creating, running, configuring, or reviewing BDN benchmarks. Also activate when microbenchmarking .NET code would be useful and BenchmarkDotNet is the likely tool. Consider activating when answering a .NET performance question requires measurement and BenchmarkDotNet may be needed. Covers microbenchmark design, BDN configuration and project setup, how to run BDN microbenchmarks efficiently and effectively, and using BDN for side-by-side performance comparisons. Do NOT use for profiling/tracing .NET code (dotnet-trace, PerfView), production telemetry, or load/stress testing (Crank, k6).

Guide for diagnosing and improving MSBuild project evaluation performance. USE FOR: builds slow before any compilation starts, high evaluation time in binlog analysis, expensive glob patterns walking large directories (node_modules, .git, bin/obj), deep import chains (>20 levels), preprocessed output >10K lines indicating heavy evaluation, property functions with file I/O ($([System.IO.File]::ReadAllText(...))), multiple evaluations per project. Covers the 5 MSBuild evaluation phases, glob optimization via DefaultItemExcludes, import chain analysis with /pp preprocessing. DO NOT USE FOR: compilation-time slowness (use build-perf-diagnostics), incremental build issues (use incremental-build), non-MSBuild build systems.

Guide for modernizing and migrating MSBuild project files to SDK-style format. USE FOR: converting legacy .csproj/.vbproj with verbose XML to SDK-style, migrating packages.config to PackageReference, removing Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs in favor of auto-generation, eliminating explicit Compile Include lists via implicit globbing, consolidating shared settings into Directory.Build.props. Indicators of legacy projects: ToolsVersion attribute, an Import of Microsoft.CSharp.targets via $(MSBuildToolsPath), .csproj files over 50 lines for simple projects. DO NOT USE FOR: projects already in SDK-style format, non-.NET build systems (npm, Maven, CMake), .NET Framework projects that cannot move to SDK-style.

Guide for interpreting ResolveProjectReferences time in MSBuild performance summaries. Activate when ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target and developers are trying to optimize it directly. Explains that the reported time includes wait time for dependent project builds and is misleading. Guides users to focus on task self-time instead. Do not activate for general build performance -- use build-perf-diagnostics instead.

Diagnoses and fixes skills in the dotnet/skills repository that lose to their own baseline, fail to activate, time out, or return "no credible improvement". Use when an evaluation verdict is a regression or underpowered, when a skill regressed after a change, when /evaluate reports no results, or when deciding whether a weak skill should be strengthened or retired. Do not use for scaffolding a brand-new skill (use create-skill) or a brand-new eval (use create-skill-test).

Convert .NET projects and solutions (.sln, .slnx) to NuGet Central Package Management (CPM) using Directory.Packages.props. USE FOR: converting to CPM, centralizing or aligning NuGet package versions across multiple projects, inlining MSBuild version properties from Directory.Build.props into Directory.Packages.props, resolving version conflicts or mismatches across a solution or repository, updating or bumping or syncing package versions across projects. Also activate when packages are out of sync, drifting, or inconsistent -- even without the user mentioning CPM. Provides baseline build capture, version conflict resolution, build validation with binlog comparison, and a structured post-conversion report. DO NOT USE FOR: packages.config projects (must migrate to PackageReference first) or repositories that already have CPM fully enabled.

Guides creation and validation of custom dotnet new templates from existing projects. Generates a .template.config/template.json that preserves the source project's conventions. USE FOR: creating a reusable dotnet new template from an existing project, bootstrapping .template.config/template.json with correct identity, shortName, parameters, and post-actions, adding parameters or conditional content to a template you are authoring, validating the template.json you are authoring before publishing, packaging templates as NuGet packages for distribution. DO NOT USE FOR: validating an existing template.json as a standalone task (use template-validation), finding or using existing templates (use template-discovery and template-instantiation), MSBuild project file issues unrelated to template authoring, NuGet package publishing (only template packaging structure).

Applies cross-parameter default rules when creating .NET projects with dotnet new, filling gaps consistently without overriding values the user set explicitly. USE FOR: choosing which target framework to pair with native AOT, deciding whether to keep HTTPS when authentication is enabled, recognizing that controllers and minimal-API flags are mutually exclusive, filling unset related parameters during project creation, explaining why a default was applied and ensuring an explicit user value is never overridden. DO NOT USE FOR: creating the project itself (use template-instantiation), finding or comparing templates (use template-discovery and template-comparison), authoring or validating custom templates (use template-authoring and template-validation).

Detects MSBuild projects with conflicting OutputPath or IntermediateOutputPath. USE FOR: builds failing with 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists', 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process', intermittent build failures that succeed on retry, or missing/overwritten outputs in multi-project or multi-targeting builds where bin/obj (or project.assets.json) collide. Common causes: shared OutputPath, missing AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath, extra global properties (e.g. PublishReadyToRun), or SetTargetFramework on a ProjectReference to a single-targeting project. DO NOT USE FOR: file access errors unrelated to MSBuild (OS-level locking), single-project single-TFM builds, non-MSBuild build systems.

Own concrete MSBuild ItemGroup and item-expression questions. USE FOR: Include, Remove, Update, item identity and metadata, transforms, filtering, batching, duplicate or overlapping items, and reviews that verify whether those operations are correct. Generated items stay in scope when the central defect is item identity, metadata, batching, duplicate declarations, or glob/Remove/Update semantics. For a generated artifact missing from compilation or output, wrong target timing/path, or FileWrites clean tracking without a broader item-semantics defect, use including-generated-files. The item operation may be broken, suspected, or already correct. Exclude property-only issues, general incrementality with no item question, broad reviews with no concrete item concern, and non-MSBuild systems.

Use the open-source free `QuickDup` clone detector for .NET repositories. Use when a repo needs duplicate C# code discovery, structural clone detection, DRY refactoring candidates, or repeatable duplication. USE FOR: the repo wants QuickDup; the team needs repeatable duplicate-code scans for C#; the user asks about DRY cleanup, copy-paste detection, clone detection, or duplicate. DO NOT USE FOR: formatting-only work; repos that intentionally use a different clone detector and do not want overlap. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.
