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.
Guides dependency version updates by checking nuget.org for latest versions, triggering the dotnet-migrate-package Azure DevOps pipeline, and monitoring runs. Use this when asked to update external NuGet dependencies.
Updates Docker container image tags used by Aspire hosting integrations. Queries registries for newer tags, uses LLM to determine version-compatible updates, and applies changes. Use this when asked to update container image versions.
