dotnet-add-ci

Add starter CI/CD workflows to an existing .NET project. Detects the hosting platform (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps) and generates an appropriate starter workflow for build, test, and pack.

Scope

• Platform detection (GitHub Actions vs Azure DevOps)
• Starter build/test/pack workflow generation
• Basic CI workflow templates for .NET projects

Out of scope

• Advanced CI/CD patterns (reusable workflows, matrix builds, deployment) -- see [skill:dotnet-gha-patterns] and [skill:dotnet-ado-patterns]

Prerequisites: Run [skill:dotnet-version-detection] first to determine SDK version for the workflow. Run [skill:dotnet-project-analysis] to understand solution structure.

Cross-references: [skill:dotnet-project-structure] for build props layout, [skill:dotnet-scaffold-project] which generates the project structure these workflows build.

---

Platform Detection

Detect the CI platform from existing repo indicators:

Indicator	Platform
.github/ directory exists	GitHub Actions
azure-pipelines.yml exists	Azure DevOps
.github/workflows/ has YAML files	GitHub Actions (already configured)
Neither	Ask the user which platform to target

---

GitHub Actions Starter Workflow

Create .github/workflows/build.yml:

name: Build and Test

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

permissions:
  contents: read

env:
  DOTNET_NOLOGO: true
  DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT: true
