Skill instructions
When to use Use this skill when: - Adding Windows platform support to an existing project (Electron, .NET, C++, Rust, Flutter, Tauri, etc.) - Cloning a repo that already uses winapp and need to restore SDK packages - Updating SDK versions to get the latest Windows SDK or Windows App SDK Prerequisites Install the winapp CLI before running any commands: powershell Via winget (recommended for non-Node projects) winget install Microsoft.WinAppCli --source winget Via npm (recommended for Electron/Node projects — includes Node.js SDK) npm install --save-dev @microsoft/winappcli You need an existing app project — winapp init does not create new projects, it adds Windows platform files to your existing codebase. Already have a Package.appxmanifest? .NET projects that already have a packaging manifest (e.g., WinUI 3 apps or projects with an existing MSIX packaging setup) likely don't need winapp init. Ensure your .csproj references the Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK NuGet package and has the right pro
