SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides you through bootstrapping WinUI 3 apps with proper environment setup and a safe scaffold flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bundled setup bootstrap that enables Developer Mode, installs Visual Studio Community 2026, and Windows App SDK workloads.
  • Packaging-model decisioning (packaged by default or unpackaged on request) and first-project scaffolding using the official setup flow.
  • Clear naming, workspace placement, and verification steps to produce a ready-to-run WinUI 3 project.
  • References and remediation guidance for environment readiness and startup recovery.

Quick Start

Run the bundled bootstrap to verify your environment and scaffold a brand-new WinUI 3 app using the setup-and-scaffold flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about winui-app

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up and scaffold a new WinUI 3 app project?▼

To scaffold a WinUI 3 app, you need to enable Developer Mode, install Visual Studio Community 2026 with Windows App SDK workloads, and run the guided setup flow to generate a ready-to-run project in your current workspace.

What environment is required to bootstrap a WinUI 3 application?▼

Bootstrapping a WinUI 3 application requires Developer Mode enabled, Visual Studio Community 2026, and the Windows App SDK workloads to ensure the toolchain and packaging model are correctly configured.

Can I build an unpackaged WinUI 3 app or is packaged the default?▼

Packaged is the default packaging model for a new WinUI 3 app, but you can explicitly request an unpackaged configuration during the scaffolding flow to suit your deployment requirements.

Does scaffolding a Windows App SDK project require Visual Studio Community 2026?▼

Yes, installing Visual Studio Community 2026 is part of the bundled setup flow required to identify the toolchain and successfully scaffold a new Windows App SDK project.

Why does my WinUI 3 project setup fail to verify the environment readiness?▼

WinUI 3 setup verification fails if Developer Mode, Visual Studio Community 2026, or Windows App SDK workloads are missing; the bundled flow captures readiness statuses in config.yaml and provides remediation guidance.
