Skill instructions
Building WinUI AI Agent Quick Start powershell Always wrap commands with .\initrun.ps1 — it sets up the build environment automatically. Default flavor is amd64chk. Override with -Flavor. .\initrun.ps1 .\build.cmd /q full repo build (product + tests) — USE THIS BY DEFAULT .\initrun.ps1 .\build.cmd /q product product code only (no tests) .\initrun.ps1 .\build.cmd /q mux MUX only (Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll) .\initrun.ps1 msb /q "path\to\project.vcxproj" build a single project .\initrun.ps1 -Flavor arm64fre .\build.cmd /q build for a different flavor Prefer bt for inner-loop builds If the only changes are to source files (.cpp, .h, .idl, .xaml, .appxmanifest), use the bt-build skill instead of MSBuild. bt skips MSBuild entirely, replaying only the dirty compile/link steps in seconds. Use MSBuild (this skill) when any of these are true: - .vcxproj / .vcxitems files were added, removed, or edited - .props / .targets files were changed - NuGet package dependencies changed - WinRT runtime classes
