About this skill
What it does. Inspects an existing .binlog with the Binlog MCP server to query errors, warnings, properties, items, project evaluation and target execution, including files embedded in the log. If the server is unavailable, it replays the binary log into searchable text logs.
When to use it. For unclear MSBuild failures, multi-project build cascades and target-order issues when a .binlog already exists. It does not analyse non-MSBuild builds or generate binlogs as its main workflow.
