Is it safe to use in a repository?

Yes, the skill is designed with guardrails to operate only in specific directories and specifically ignores bin/ and obj/ folders to prevent committing build artifacts.

Can I build a single project instead of the whole solution?

Yes, you can specify a specific project path to build individual .csproj files rather than the entire .sln file.

Where are the build artifacts placed?

Artifacts are generated in the project's bin/ directory, typically following the standard .NET path structure based on the chosen configuration.

Does this skill support running unit tests?

No, this skill is focused on compilation and restoration. You should use a dedicated 'dotnet-test' skill for executing test suites.

How does this skill handle NuGet dependency issues?

It includes specific workflows for 'dotnet restore' and troubleshooting common errors like NU1301 to ensure all dependencies are available before building.
