Skill instructions
VSSDK SDK-Style Conversion Convert Visual Studio extension projects from legacy (old-style) format to modern SDK-style while preserving VSIX packaging, F5 debugging, and extension functionality. Related skills: - converting-to-sdk-style — base SDK-style conversion mechanics (used during execution) - sdk-style-conversion — general SDK-style conversion scenario (for non-VSIX projects) - managing-package-references — NuGet package management Workflow Stages Run these stages in order: 1. Assessment — Analyze the VSIX project structure and risks. Creates assessment.md. 2. Planning — Create the conversion plan with VSSDK specifics. Creates plan.md. 3. Execution — Convert the project and apply the VSSDK overlay. Modifies the project file and solution file. 4. Validation — Build, verify the VSIX output, and check deploy markers. 1. Assessment Analyze the VSIX project to understand its structure and identify conversion considerations. What to Capture | Aspect | Where to Look | Why It Matters |
