Validate runtime packages and releases
Use this skill for changes to NuGet packaging, .nuspec files, runtime .targets, package versioning, release automation, or runtime package composition.
Source of truth
Whisper.net/Whisper.net.csproj contains the main package version and target frameworks.Directory.Packages.props centralizes package versions.runtimes/*.nuspec defines runtime package metadata and dependency relationships.runtimes/*/*.targets controls which native assets are copied into consuming projects..github/workflows/pack-all.yml packs all NuGet packages..github/workflows/release.yml orchestrates native builds, packing, and optional NuGet push.windows-scripts.ps1 contains the PackAll entry point used by CI.
Local pack workflow
Populate runtimes/ with the native artifacts being packaged, then run:
$version = Select-Xml -Path .\Whisper.net\Whisper.net.csproj -XPath "/Project/PropertyGroup/Version" | ForEach-Object { $_.Node.InnerText }
$env:USE_WHISPER_MAUI = "TRUE"
dotnet workload restore .\Whisper.net.Maui.Tests.slnx
. .\windows-scripts.ps1
PackAll $version
Remove-Item Env:\USE_WHISPER_MAUI
If the task does not affect MAUI package targets, it is acceptable to skip MAUI workload installation locally and rely on CI for MAUI-specific packaging, but state that limitation.
Package checks
- Verify every changed runtime package includes only the intended runtime assets.
- Keep package IDs, dependency IDs, and target import paths aligned.
- If adding a runtime, update all affected package surfaces: enum/loading code, dependency checker support, nuspecs, targets, README runtime list, examples, and workflows.
- Do not commit packed
.nupkg files unless the task explicitly asks for release artifacts.
Validation with tests
After package metadata changes, run managed build/tests with populated runtimes/:
dotnet restore .\Whisper.net.slnx
dotnet build .\Whisper.net.slnx --no-restore -warnaserror
dotnet test .\Whisper.net.slnx --no-build --logger "trx"
