SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Drops a minimal Aspire AppHost skeleton and generates aspire.config.json for repos that lack an AppHost, enabling a smooth handoff to wiring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects when no AppHost exists and drops a skeleton plus configuration.
  • Generates aspire.config.json and prepares the project for wiring via aspireify.
  • Handoff to aspireify for full resource wiring and validation during app integration.

Quick Start

Run aspire init in a workspace that has no Aspire AppHost to drop the skeleton and hand off to aspireify for wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions about aspire-init

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold an Aspire AppHost in an existing repository?▼

Running aspire init in a repository without an AppHost drops a minimal skeleton and generates aspire.config.json. This provides a guided first-run workflow that validates prerequisites and prepares the project for resource wiring.

What does the Aspire first-run setup workflow do when no AppHost exists?▼

The Aspire first-run setup detects the missing AppHost and drops a minimal skeleton alongside aspire.config.json. It validates prerequisites, coordinates with the Aspire CLI, and hands off to aspireify for full resource wiring and validation.

Do I need the Aspire CLI installed to initialize an AppHost skeleton?▼

Initializing an AppHost skeleton requires the Aspire CLI, as the workflow validates prerequisites and coordinates with it. This ensures a consistent first-run experience before dropping the skeleton and generating aspire.config.json.

What's the best way to automate Aspire project initialization for devops handoff?▼

Automating Aspire project initialization is best handled by running aspire init, which scaffolds the AppHost skeleton and generates aspire.config.json. This enables a seamless handoff to aspireify for full resource wiring, validation, and startup.

What happens after the Aspire AppHost skeleton is created?▼

After the Aspire AppHost skeleton is created and aspire.config.json is generated, the workflow hands off to aspireify. aspireify handles full resource wiring, validation, and app startup during integration.

Can I use aspire init to add Aspire configuration to a repo that already has an AppHost?▼

aspire init targets repos that lack an AppHost by detecting its absence and scaffolding a minimal skeleton. If an AppHost already exists, the guided first-run workflow to drop the skeleton and generate aspire.config.json is not triggered.
