dotnet-version-detection

Detects .NET version information from project files and provides version-specific guidance. This skill runs first before any .NET development work. All other skills depend on the detected version to adapt their guidance.

Cross-cutting skill referenced by [skill:dotnet-advisor] and virtually all specialist skills. See also [skill:dotnet-file-based-apps] for .NET 10+ file-based apps that run without a .csproj.

Detection Precedence Algorithm

Read project files in this strict order. Higher-numbered sources are lower priority. Stop falling through once a TFM is resolved.

1. Direct <TargetFramework> in .csproj (highest priority)

Read the nearest .csproj file to the current working file/directory.
