description	Builds and validates the local single-RID Devolutions.PowerShell.SDK package using the repository's current workflow pins.

powershell sdk package validate

Use this skill when validating SDK packaging changes, checking a PowerShell release bump before opening a PR, or diagnosing Devolutions.PowerShell.SDK package layout/apphost issues.

This skill wraps the repository's canonical local build script and passes values from .github\workflows\powershell-sdk.yml, so validation follows the same explicit pins used by GitHub Actions.

Prerequisites

• PowerShell 7 (pwsh).
• .NET SDK and build prerequisites required by upstream PowerShell.
• Initialized pwsh-src/ submodule:

pwsh .\scripts\Initialize-Repository.ps1

Scripts

• scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1: Reads current workflow pins, runs the pin audit, then calls scripts\Build-LocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -Validate.
• ..\\powershell-pin-audit\\scripts\\Test-PowerShellPins.ps1: Confirms pins agree before spending time on a local build.
• ..\\..\\..\\..\\scripts\\Build-LocalPowerShellSdk.ps1: Canonical local package build and validation implementation.
• ..\\..\\..\\..\\eng\\Validate-PowerShellSdkPackage.ps1: Canonical package validation script.

Usage

Build and validate for the current host runtime identifier:

pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1

Validate a specific RID supported by the local build script:

pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -RuntimeIdentifier win-x64

Use a specific NuGet CLI:

pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -NuGetExe C:\tools\nuget.exe

Skip the pre-build pin audit only when intentionally debugging a partially edited tree:

pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -SkipPinAudit

Expected output

The canonical build writes under output\local-sdk\<rid>\ and emits:

• package\Devolutions.PowerShell.SDK.<version>.nupkg
• PowerShell-AppHost\ source-built apphost files
• validation output proving restore, build, framework-dependent publish, self-contained publish, apphost execution, and built-in module loading
