Bundled agent skills

Section titled “Bundled agent skills”

Purview.Aspire.ResourceKit ships one or more bundled Agent Skills that are auto-installed into consuming repositories so supported coding agents can discover ResourceKit-specific guidance automatically.

How auto-install works

Section titled “How auto-install works”

When a consuming project builds, any skills/**/SKILL.md files in the package are copied to .agents/skills/** in the consuming repository.

Example mapping:

  • skills/aspire-apphost-to-resourcekit/SKILL.md → .agents/skills/aspire-apphost-to-resourcekit/SKILL.md

A local .gitignore is written into each generated skill folder to keep updates out of source control noise, so the skills stay fresh on rebuild without polluting the repository history.

Opting out

Section titled “Opting out”

To disable this behavior, set the shared opt-out property in your project (or Directory.Build.props):

<EnableAgentFolderInPackage>false</EnableAgentFolderInPackage>
