SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automates the setup and maintenance of the .NET toolchain across teams by coordinating SDK installation, workloads, and development tooling to ensure consistent environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

Manages .NET SDK installation (dotnet-install) and workloads to reproduce environments reliably.
Automates project scaffolding and MSBuild tooling setup (Directory.Build.props, CPM, and LSP/C# tooling integration).
Provides profiling, build optimization, Native AOT/trimming, and GC tuning support along with CLI tooling support (System.CommandLine, Spectre.Console, Terminal.Gui), ILSpy decompilation, and VS Code debugging configurations.
Use case: onboarding new developers or configuring CI pipelines to guarantee identical toolchains across platforms.

Quick Start

Install and configure the required .NET tooling for your project and run the bootstrap commands to align local development environments.
