Journey fit
Aspireify is a build-phase workflow: after scaffolding, it wires all services, databases, and integrations together into a working Aspire distributed application ready for development. This skill is fundamentally about integrations — connecting .NET projects, Node services, databases, caches, message brokers, and frontends into a cohesive Aspire resource graph.
