{what this skill teaches agents}

End-to-end workflow for building, deploying, inspecting, and debugging .NET MAUI and MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps as an AI agent. Use when: (1) Building or running a MAUI app on iOS simulator, Android emulator, Mac Catalyst, macOS (AppKit), or Linux/GTK, (2) Inspecting or interacting with a running app's UI (visual tree, tapping, filling text, screenshots, property queries), (3) Debugging Blazor WebView content via CDP, (4) Managing simulators or emulators, (5) Setting up MauiDevFlow in a MAUI project, (6) Completing a build-deploy-inspect-fix feedback loop, (7) Handling permission dialogs and system alerts, (8) Managing multiple simultaneous apps via the broker daemon. Covers: maui devflow CLI (the `maui` dotnet global tool, `devflow` subcommand), androidsdk.tool, appledev.tools, adb, xcrun simctl, xdotool, and dotnet build/run for all MAUI target platforms including macOS (AppKit) and Linux/GTK.

Use this skill when the user is working with an Aspire distributed application and needs to operate the AppHost or its resources through the Aspire CLI: start, restart, stop, or wait on the app; work through code/resource changes with watch, rebuild, hot reload, or resource commands; inspect resources, logs, traces, docs, or health; add integrations; manage secrets or config; publish, deploy, or rerun a named pipeline step; initialize Aspire in an existing app; recover missing `.modules` files in a TypeScript AppHost; discover the right frontend URL for Playwright from Aspire state; expose custom dashboard/resource commands; or understand unfamiliar Aspire AppHost APIs in C# or TypeScript. Use it even if they describe the task in terms of an AppHost, resources, dashboard, existing app bootstrap, missing generated modules, Playwright URL discovery, C# API understanding, or local distributed app workflow without explicitly naming Aspire. Do not use it for non-Aspire .NET apps, container-only repos with no AppHo

End-to-end testing and verification for SentenceStudio. USE THIS SKILL whenever the user says "test", "verify", "check", "validate", "confirm it works", "smoke test", "run the app and check", "does it work", "try it", "make sure", or any variation of testing a feature or fix in a running app. Also use after EVERY bug fix or feature implementation as a mandatory final verification step — even if you think a build check is enough. Covers: launching via Aspire, interacting with Playwright (webapp) or maui-ai-debugging (native), verifying UI state, checking database records, and reading structured logs. If someone asks you to test anything in this app, or to verify a fix works, or to run a smoke test, or to check that CRUD operations work, or to confirm audio/quiz/import/activity features behave correctly — this is the skill to use. Do NOT skip this skill when verification is needed.

Core conventions and patterns for SentenceStudio

**WORKFLOW SKILL** - Orchestrates Aspire applications using the Aspire CLI and MCP tools for running, debugging, deploying, and managing distributed apps. USE FOR: aspire run, aspire stop, aspire deploy, start aspire app, aspire describe, list aspire integrations, debug aspire issues, view aspire logs, add aspire resource, aspire dashboard, update aspire apphost, Azure Container Apps deployment, PostgreSQL production configuration. DO NOT USE FOR: non-Aspire .NET apps (use dotnet CLI), container-only deployments (use docker/podman). INVOKES: Aspire MCP tools (list_resources, list_integrations, list_structured_logs, get_doc, search_docs), bash for CLI commands. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: Use Aspire MCP tools directly for quick resource status or doc lookups.

Do not use it for non-Aspire .NET apps, container-only repos with no AppHost, or ordinary build and test tasks.
