Skill instructions
Aspire Version Upgrade Scenario Upgrade an existing Aspire project from its current Aspire version to a newer version — handling package renames, breaking API changes, TFM upgrades, SDK format consolidation, and configuration migration. This scenario is for projects that already use Aspire. If you need to add Aspire to a project that doesn't have it, use the Aspire Integration scenario instead. What This Scenario Covers - Package upgrades — bumps all Aspire. and Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery. packages to the target version - Package renames — handles package renames across all version transitions (see breaking-changes.md for the full list) - Code transforms — auto-fixes breaking API changes across all version transitions (type renames, method renames, argument reorders, fluent chain refactors) - TFM upgrades — updates target frameworks to match the target Aspire version requirements (e.g., net10.0 for Aspire 13.x) - AppHost SDK consolidation — migrates legacy <Sdk child element
