Skill instructions
Misleading ResolveProjectReferences Time Prevent misguided optimization of ResolveProjectReferences by explaining that its reported time is wall-clock wait time, not CPU work. When to Use - ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target in the Target Performance Summary - A developer is trying to optimize ResolveProjectReferences directly - Build performance analysis shows a single target consuming 50-80% of total build time When Not to Use - General build performance optimization (use build-perf-diagnostics instead) - The bottleneck is clearly a different target (e.g., Csc, ResolveAssemblyReference) - The user has not yet captured a binlog or performance summary Inputs | Input | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | Build log or binlog | Yes | A diagnostic build log or binlog containing the Target Performance Summary | Workflow Step 1: Confirm the misleading symptom Verify that ResolveProjectReferences appears as the top target in the Target Perf
