Skill instructions
Application Insights Setup This skill detects your .NET application type and instrumentation state, then guides you through the correct setup, migration, or enhancement path. Step 1 — Detect Application Type Find all .csproj files (also .fsproj, .vbproj) in the workspace. If multiple non-library projects exist, ask the user which one to instrument before proceeding. Also check for global.json as a .NET workspace indicator. First, check the <Project Sdk="..." attribute in the .csproj: SDK-style projects (modern format — has Sdk attribute) | Signal | App Type | |---|---| | Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web" | ASP.NET Core | | Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker" | Worker Service | | Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker or Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions in PackageReference | Azure Functions — not supported by this skill; refer to Azure Functions monitoring docs | | Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk" with <OutputTypeExe</OutputType | Console App | | Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk" with <OutputTypeLibrary</OutputType or no Outpu
