Create or reorganize .NET solutions with clean project boundaries, repeatable SDK settings, and a maintainable baseline for libraries, apps, tests, CI, and local development. USE FOR: creating a new .NET solution or restructuring an existing one; setting up Directory.Build.props, shared package management, or repo-wide defaults; defining project. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Best for new repositories or structural refactors of existing .NET solutions.
.NET Project Setup
Trigger On
creating a new .NET solution or restructuring an existing one
setting up Directory.Build.props, shared package management, or repo-wide defaults
defining project layout for apps, libraries, and test projects
Workflow
Start from the app model and deployment target, then choose the smallest correct SDK and target framework set.
Use solution folders and project names that reflect bounded contexts or product areas, not temporary implementation details.
Centralize shared build settings, analyzer rules, nullable context, and package versions where it reduces duplication without hiding important differences.
Create test projects and CI hooks early so new projects do not drift into unverified templates.
Prefer project references and composition over circular dependencies or utility dumping grounds.
Document the local build, test, and run path in repo docs or AGENTS.md when the workflow is not obvious.
Current Upstream Notes
The July 2026 "Build apps with .NET" Learn refresh reinforces app-model-first setup: console, web, worker, desktop, mobile, cloud, and AI entry points should drive SDK/template choice.
.NET SDK 10.0.302 is the current 10.0.3xx servicing SDK; it fixes Aspire AppHost launching and tool-runner duplicate-flag handling and enables file-based app #:include / #:exclude without feature flags. .NET SDK 8.0.423 remains the current 8.0 servicing SDK. Keep global.json and CI images explicit for the selected line.
Deliver
a coherent solution structure
shared build defaults that are easy to reason about
starter quality and testing hooks for future work
Validate
projects have explicit responsibility boundaries
shared MSBuild settings do not accidentally override platform-specific needs
a new contributor can build and test the repo without guessing
