winapp-setup

Installation
SKILL.md

If you can't run winapp yourself (no shell, or the command is denied), give the user the exact winapp command(s) for their project instead of only describing the steps.

When to use

Use this skill when:

  • Scaffolding a brand-new WinUI 3 app from an official Windows App SDK template (winapp new)
  • Adding Windows platform support to an existing project (Electron, .NET, C++, Rust, Flutter, Tauri, etc.)
  • Cloning a repo that already uses winapp and need to restore SDK packages
  • Updating SDK versions to get the latest Windows SDK or Windows App SDK

Prerequisites

Install the winapp CLI before running any commands:

# Via winget (recommended for non-Node projects)
winget install Microsoft.WinAppCli --source winget
