1Aspireaspire is Microsoft’s umbrella routing skill for .NET Aspire projects: it reads what you are trying to do—standing up distributed app hosts, pushing to environments, or observing production—and hands off to specialized Aspire sub-skills instead of giving generic cloud advice. Eval stimuli show it should recognize AppHost layouts and recommend aspire agent init when you want deeper, scenario-based guidance checked into the repo. For a solo builder shipping a small SaaS on Aspire, this is the front door before you dive into orchestration manifests or dashboard wiring. Pair it early in Build when you add services, again in Ship when you choose deployment targets, and in Operate when alerts and telemetry questions surface. The skill is infrastructure-centric, so bring your AppHost path and aspire.config.json context for accurate routing.27installs2Aspire MonitoringAspire Monitoring is an agent skill that helps solo builders see what their distributed Aspire app is doing without guessing which tool to open. It focuses on the bridge between local development—Aspire Dashboard, CLI diagnostics—and whatever your cloud provider expects after deploy. Indie developers running a Vite frontend plus .NET APIs often lose browser console and network context when logs live only on the server; the skill surfaces integrations like Aspire.Hosting.Browsers and patterns such as WithBrowserLogs() so agents give actionable wiring steps. Use it when something fails in Operate but you are still iterating in Build, or right after Ship when you need one narrative for local versus production traces. It complements aspire-orchestration once services are running. The guidance is procedural for coding agents answering “how do I see X in the dashboard?” rather than replacing full APM product docs.25installs3Aspire OrchestrationAspire Orchestration is an agent skill for Microsoft .NET Aspire that teaches correct CLI and AppHost orchestration patterns when a solo builder or small team is running cloud-native local stacks. It is aimed at developers using Aspire AppHost projects who need agents to upgrade tooling, coordinate multi-service runs, and avoid destructive package bumps. The skill emphasizes safe automation paths such as `aspire update --self` versus project-wide `aspire update`, which modifies dependencies and configuration. That distinction matters for indie builders who delegate terminal work to coding agents and cannot afford silent csproj drift. You reach for it during Build when wiring services and during Ship and Operate when refreshing CLI versions or recovering from orchestration confusion tied to community issues like aspire#15801. It pairs with Aspire monitoring when you need observability after orchestration changes. Expect procedural guidance aligned with eval scenarios rather than a generic cloud tutorial.25installs
