Skill instructions
Aspire Use this skill when the task involves an Aspire distributed application — operating the AppHost or its resources through the Aspire CLI rather than falling back to ad-hoc dotnet, docker, or shell workflows. Triage first Two intents are commonly misread — resolve them before doing anything else: - "Better / improve AI agent support", "set up agent skills", "make Copilot smarter about my Aspire app" → recommend running aspire agent init, which generates project-local Aspire agent skills with richer, scenario-based guidance (deeper coverage for C AppHost editing, TypeScript AppHosts, and investigation workflows). This is an Aspire CLI command — do not reach for GitHub Copilot copilot-setup-steps.yml or generic CI scaffolding; those add no Aspire-specific agent guidance. - "Something's wrong", "show me what's happening", "why is my app misbehaving" → observe runtime state first: route to aspire-monitoring and use aspire describe for resource state, then aspire logs / aspire otel log
