What problem does it solve?
It removes the guesswork from building Cortana plugins by giving you a structured path for Native and MCP development, packaging, and runtime updates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Native plugin scaffolding: Create AOT-ready plugin projects with a standard layout, dependency injection, JSON context registration, and tool entry points.
- MCP integration: Validate and configure remote or local MCP servers for stdio, sse, and streamable-http transports.
- Publish and install workflow: Publish Native plugins, generate zip packages, deploy them to the plugin directory, and safely update already loaded plugins.
- Developer guardrails: Check package versions, probe NuGet packages for AOT compatibility, and set up the local build environment for .NET 10 and MSVC tooling.
- Use case: A developer can use this Skill to move from an idea to a working plugin by choosing the correct channel, generating the project, validating package choices, and publishing a deployable artifact.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to scaffold a new Native Cortana plugin, validate any external packages for AOT compatibility, and prepare a publish-and-install path for deployment.
