aspire

Installation and usage

Use this skill when the user is working with an Aspire distributed application and needs to operate the AppHost or its resources through the Aspire CLI: start, restart, stop, or wait on the app; inspect resources, logs, traces, docs, or health; add integrations; manage secrets or config; publish, deploy, or rerun a named pipeline step; initialize Aspire in an existing app; recover missing `.modules` files in a TypeScript AppHost; discover the right frontend URL for Playwright from Aspire state; expose custom dashboard/resource commands; or understand unfamiliar Aspire AppHost APIs in C# or TypeScript. Use it even if they describe the task in terms of an AppHost, resources, dashboard, existing app bootstrap, missing generated modules, Playwright URL discovery, C# API understanding, or local distributed app workflow without explicitly naming Aspire. Do not use it for non-Aspire .NET apps, container-only repos with no AppHost, or ordinary build and test tasks.
