SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up the eShop reference application locally on macOS involves multiple tools (.NET SDK, Docker or Colima, Homebrew, Aspire dashboard) and common first-run errors. This Skill walks developers through the full setup sequence and resolves known errors without hunting through documentation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup Walkthrough: Follows the authoritative setup guide at .github/prompts/local-setup.prompt.md step by step, from installing dependencies to running the app. - Error Resolution: Applies known-error resolutions documented in the shared prompt file when a specific step fails. - Use Case: A new team member clones the eShop repository on a Mac and asks how to get it running; the Skill walks them through Homebrew, Colima, .NET install, and launching the Aspire dashboard. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to walk you through setting up and running this project locally on your Mac from scratch.
