System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and fix slow MSBuild incremental builds, ensuring that only necessary code is recompiled after changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose Rebuilds: Identifies why targets are running when they should be skipped.
  • Optimize Incremental Builds: Guides on correctly setting up Inputs/Outputs and FileWrites.
  • Use Case: When your .NET project rebuilds entirely after a minor code change, this skill helps you pinpoint the exact cause and apply the correct MSBuild configurations to speed up subsequent builds.

Quick Start

Analyze the build process by running 'dotnet build /bl:second.binlog' and then searching for 'is newer than output' in the generated log.
