WinUI 3: separate environment audit, machine setup, and scaffolding
Route to read-only audit, prerequisite setup, new-project scaffold, or app-specific guidance.
Skills
Classify the request as read-only readiness audit, machine setup, or app work; read `_sections.md` and the matching references. The bundled setup may enable Developer Mode and install Visual Studio/components, so explain impact and get consent first. For audit-only work without changes, report present/missing/uncertain. Check `dotnet new list winui`, scaffold the named app without `--force`, then build and launch and verify a real top-level window. For existing apps prefer Microsoft Learn/Gallery/Samples, preserve conventions, and validate packaging, themes, responsiveness, and accessibility.
Permissions
Prerequisites
- Bootstrap, build, review, or troubleshoot WinUI 3 desktop apps on Windows.
Permissions
- Bootstrap may enable Developer Mode and install/update Visual Studio/SDK; app work changes files.
Limitations
Distinguish audit/setup; machine-changing bootstrap needs consent; do not overwrite existing files.
