About this plugin
This plugin provides skills for diagnosing MSBuild failures, generating and analysing binary logs, improving build performance, reviewing project configuration, and modernising build files. It covers topics including incremental builds, parallelism, project references, item and property patterns, generated files, output copying, and target authoring.
Reach for it when a .NET build is failing, slow, difficult to maintain, or needs a structured review. It also exposes a binlog MCP server to supported hosts for working with MSBuild binary logs.
