About this skill

What it does. Guides installation of a chosen .NET SDK into .dotnet, configures global.json to resolve it, and adds the directory to .gitignore. It can also install workloads and create team setup scripts for repeatable local or CI installs.

When to use it. For preview testing, version pinning, workloads, or shared setup scripts with a .NET 10+ host. It does not apply to system-wide or runtime-only installs, older hosts, or projects that do not use SDK-style commands.
