description	Generate a TypeScript AppHost from an existing C# example AppHost, then add a TypeScriptAppHostTest-based integration test.

Aspire TypeScript AppHost Generator

Use this skill when the user wants to create a TypeScript AppHost (apphost.mts) from an existing C# example AppHost and add/update the corresponding integration test.

Prompting rule

• Ask for the integration only when this skill is actively running and only if the user did not provide it.
• Do not ask for integration selection before this skill is invoked.

Goal

For one integration, produce:

1. A TypeScript AppHost example beside the existing C# AppHost example.
2. A test in the integration's tests/CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.<Integration>.Tests project that uses TypeScriptAppHostTest.Run(...).

Workflow

1. Resolve the integration

   • If the user already specified an integration, use it.
   • Otherwise, prompt for it at runtime.

2. Locate the source AppHost and test project

   • Source C# example path pattern:
     • examples/<example>/CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.<Integration>.AppHost/Program.cs
   • Target TypeScript example path pattern:
     • examples/<example>/CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.<Integration>.AppHost.TypeScript/
   • Test project path:
     • tests/CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.<Integration>.Tests/

3. Create or update the TypeScript AppHost folder

   • Required files:
     • apphost.mts
     • aspire.config.json
     • package.json
     • tsconfig.json
     • eslint.config.mjs
     • package-lock.json
   • Keep template/config conventions aligned with existing TypeScript AppHost examples in this repo.
   • Use TypeScript API method names generated for Aspire exports (for overloads, use the exported TypeScript name, not guessed C# casing).

4. Translate C# AppHost logic to TypeScript

   • Preserve resource naming and behavior where practical.
   • Use TypeScript Aspire methods and options shapes.
   • Keep path handling and package mapping valid for the example location.

5. Add the integration TypeScript AppHost test

   • Add TypeScriptAppHostTests.cs in the integration test project if missing.
   • Use:
     • TypeScriptAppHostTest.Run(...)
     • appHostProject = CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.<Integration>.AppHost.TypeScript folder name
     • packageName = integration package name
     • exampleName = example folder name
     • waitForResources = resources required to verify startup in Aspire
   • Follow existing test style and attributes ([RequiresDocker] when applicable).

6. Validate changes

   • Run the relevant test project to ensure the TypeScript AppHost compiles and starts via the shared validation flow.

Guardrails

• Do not edit generated .aspire/modules/ files.
• Do not change unrelated examples or tests.
• Keep all changes scoped to the selected integration plus the skill files.
