This repository contains tools shipped by the NuGet Client team to help developers effectively use the latest NuGet features.

• dotnet-package-skills copies agent skills bundled in NuGet packages into a repository's skills folder.

Run from the repository root on Windows, with PowerShell 7 and the root-pinned .NET SDK:

eng\common\build.cmd -restore -build -test -pack -configuration Release

Install the .NET 8 runtime into the same .NET installation that Arcade selects. The SDK supplies the .NET 10 runtime. The build graph retains eng\Infrastructure.proj and includes the tool solution. Artifacts use Arcade's artifacts\bin, obj, log, TestResults, and packages\Release\Shipping layout.

The public pipeline produces unsigned packages. The official pipeline uses Arcade's recursive signing with owner-approved MicroBuild/ESRP resources. Both publish NuGet packages as build artifacts only. See the tool pipeline guide.
