Analytics
startup-perf
Measures Aspire startup profiling with CLI self-profile capture and dashboard export traces.
UI Design
reviewing-aspire-architecture
Use only when the user explicitly requests a deep Aspire architectural or pattern review of an existing PR or diff, or when a generic reviewer escalates a named Aspire-domain question it cannot resolve. Do not use for ordinary review, implementation, debugging, explanation, or design discussion—even when a PR is referenced—and never select it from changed file paths alone.
Testing
pr-testing
Use when asked to test a microsoft/aspire pull request, including CLI, hosting, dashboard, component, template, and VS Code extension changes. Also covers testing PRs that change CI infrastructure — GitHub Actions (workflows, actions, gh-aw agentic workflows, CI scripts under .github/ and eng/) and Azure DevOps pipelines (eng/pipelines, eng/common).
Testing
issue-investigation
Investigates GitHub issues in microsoft/aspire by gathering issue context, routing to specialized skills, preparing the right reproduction environment, reproducing behavior, and drafting evidence-backed findings or insufficient-info comments for user approval. Use when asked to investigate, reproduce, validate, debug, triage, or root-cause an Aspire issue.
Application Security
hosting-integration-authoring
Guides authoring and reviewing Aspire.Hosting integration APIs. Classifies integration archetypes, then applies self-contained best practices for naming, resource shape, run/publish/deploy behavior, eventing, connection properties, security, endpoint semantics, polyglot exports, READMEs, and tests.
Developer Tools
hex1b
CLI tool for automating any terminal application — TUI apps, shells, CLI tools, REPLs, and more. Use when you need to launch a process in a virtual terminal, capture its screen output, inject keystrokes or mouse input, take screenshots, record sessions, or assert on what's visible.
Testing
fix-flaky-test
Reproduces and fixes flaky or quarantined tests. Tries local reproduction first (fast), then falls back to CI reproduce workflow (reproduce-flaky-tests.yml). Use this when asked to investigate, reproduce, debug, or fix a flaky test, a quarantined test, or an intermittently failing test.
Backend
deprecate-integration
Sunsets (soft-deprecates) a shipped Aspire hosting integration: marks its public API [Obsolete], adds a README warning banner, hides the package from `aspire add`, removes integration-specific automation, suppresses the resulting warnings in first-party consumers, and ships one final obsolete release. Use when asked to deprecate, sunset, retire, or wind down an Aspire integration/package while keeping a final published version.
Delivery
deployment-e2e-testing
Guide for writing Aspire deployment end-to-end tests. Use this when asked to create, modify, or debug deployment E2E tests that deploy to Azure.
Cloud Platforms
dependency-update
Guides dependency version updates by checking nuget.org for latest versions, triggering the dotnet-migrate-package Azure DevOps pipeline, and monitoring runs. Use this when asked to update external NuGet dependencies.
Analytics
dashboard-testing
Guide for writing tests for the Aspire Dashboard. Use this when asked to create, modify, or debug dashboard unit tests or Blazor component tests.
Developer Tools
create-pr
Create a pull request using the repository PR template. Use when asked to: create PR, open PR, push and create PR, submit PR, open pull request, send changes for review.
AI Agents
connection-properties
Specialized agent for creating and improving Connection Properties in Aspire resource and README files
Testing
code-review
Review a GitHub pull request for problems. Use when asked to review a PR, do a code review, check a PR for issues, or review pull request changes. Focuses only on identifying problems — not style nits or praise.
Testing
cli-e2e-testing
Use when creating, modifying, debugging, or reviewing Aspire CLI end-to-end tests that use Hex1b terminal automation under tests/Aspire.Cli.EndToEnd.Tests/.
Testing
cli-channel-debugging
Emulates any Aspire CLI build identity (channel, version, commit, package source) from a locally built CLI using ASPIRE_CLI_* environment variables and the install sidecar, so a reported bug can be reproduced and fixed locally without going through the install/PR loop. Use this when asked to reproduce channel/version/quality-specific CLI behavior, simulate a daily/staging/stable/PR build locally, or decide which override knobs to set for a given scenario.
Testing
ci-test-failures
Guide for diagnosing GitHub Actions test failures, extracting failed tests from runs, and creating or updating failing-test issues. Use this when asked to investigate GitHub Actions test failures, download failure logs, create failing-test issues, or debug CI issues.
Testing
backport-pr
Backports a merged PR to a release branch by triggering the /backport bot, waiting for the bot-created PR, and filling in the shiproom template (Customer Impact, Testing, Risk, Regression?). Use when asked to: backport a PR, port a fix to a release branch, fill in a backport template, prepare a backport for shiproom review.
Cloud Platforms
azdo-internal
Expert knowledge for triggering, monitoring, and validating changes to the Aspire internal Azure DevOps pipeline (microsoft-aspire, definition 1602) on dnceng/internal. Use when asked to trigger an internal/AzDO build, check pipeline/build status, push to the internal mirror, or validate eng/ pipeline (eng/pipelines/azure-pipelines.yml / release pipeline) changes for the microsoft/aspire repository.
Backend
api-review
Reviews .NET API surface area PRs for design guideline violations. Analyzes api/*.cs file diffs, applies review rules from .NET Framework Design Guidelines and Aspire conventions, and attributes findings to the developer who introduced each API (via git blame). Use this when asked to review API surface area changes.
