Skill instructions
Create or Open a Project New app — scaffold with a template: powershell dotnet new winui-mvvm -n <AppName cd <AppName Creates an MVVM project with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, TitleBar, MicaBackdrop, and Frame navigation. Do NOT mkdir first — -n creates the folder. Existing app — read the .csproj to understand: - <TargetFramework (e.g., net10.0-windows10.0.26100.0) - <PackageReference versions (WindowsAppSDK, CommunityToolkit) - Project structure and established patterns Install Packages powershell dotnet add package <Name Never specify --version — omitting it gets the latest stable and avoids outdated API mismatches. Build & Run Use the BuildAndRun.ps1 script (included with this skill) — it handles everything: powershell .\BuildAndRun.ps1 Invoke the script with mode: "async". The script stays attached to the running app so a mode: "sync" call blocks your turn for the entire lifetime of the app. The output contains the PID of the running app once the app starts, which looks like this: ✅ <pkg
