About this skill

What it does. Adds /bl:{} to MSBuild-based .NET commands so each build, test, pack, publish or restore run produces a unique binary log. It covers PowerShell brace escaping, fixed filenames when needed, verifying output and preserving logs during repository cleaning.

When to use it. Use before investigating build failures or performance, including repeated builds and multiple configurations. It does not apply to non-MSBuild systems or analysis of an existing binlog.
