| description | Build a .NET solution from the project root without `cd`, logging output to a single file that gets read once instead of piped through repeated Bash calls. |
dotnet build
Runs dotnet build against a solution, avoiding the two habits that cause unnecessary
permission prompts and wasted turns:
- Never prefix the command with
cd. The Bash tool's working directory is already
the project root for every call — a leading cd is redundant and (per this project's
shell rule) triggers an extra permission prompt for no benefit.
- Log to one file, read it once. Don't pipe through
tail/grep as a second Bash
call. Redirect stdout+stderr to a single log file, then use the Read tool on that
file (with offset/limit if it's long) instead of issuing more shell commands.
Args
/dotnet-build [solution-path] [Configuration]
- solution-path (optional): path to the
.sln, relative to project root. Defaults to
src/GlobalStrategy.Core.sln for this repo.
- Configuration (optional): defaults to
Debug. Pass Release explicitly when needed
(e.g. before copying plugin DLLs per .claude/rules/unity/plugins.md).
Any additional flags the caller needs (e.g. --no-restore) should be appended to the
command line as given — this skill only fixes how the command is invoked, not what
it is.
Steps
-
Pick the log path: .tmp/dotnet-build.log (gitignored, per
.claude/rules/temp_scripts.md).
-
Run, in a single Bash tool call, with dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true (per this
project's dotnet-command convention — no permission prompt needed as long as there's
no cd):
dotnet build <solution-path> -c <Configuration> > .tmp/dotnet-build.log 2>&1
Default:
dotnet build src/GlobalStrategy.Core.sln -c Debug > .tmp/dotnet-build.log 2>&1
-
Read .tmp/dotnet-build.log with the Read tool. Use offset from the end (or a
large limit) for heavy output — don't re-run the command to see more, and don't add
a second Bash call to filter it.
-
Report the error/warning count from what you read.
-
Delete the log when done with it, as a separate Bash call, per the temp-scripts
run-then-delete convention.
Notes
- This applies to any solution/project, not just one repo — the log-file + single-Read
pattern is the reusable part. The default solution path above is specific to
GlobalStrategy; adjust it per-project.
