System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses slow build times in .NET projects by optimizing how MSBuild utilizes multiple CPU cores and manages project dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Build Optimization: Configure MSBuild to use more CPU cores (/maxcpucount).
  • Dependency Graph Analysis: Understand and improve the order in which projects are built to minimize bottlenecks.
  • Graph Build Mode: Leverage /graph for enhanced scheduling in complex solutions.
  • Reference Optimization: Reduce unnecessary project references to streamline the build process.
  • Use Case: When your large .NET solution takes hours to build, this skill helps you diagnose why and implement strategies to cut build times significantly.

Quick Start

Use the build-parallelism skill to analyze why my build is not using all available CPU cores.
