How does this help with debugging distributed systems?

It provides deep integration with the Aspire Dashboard and CLI for real-time logs, traces, and metrics, allowing Claude to diagnose issues across multiple services simultaneously.

Is the Aspire CLI required to use this skill?

Yes, the skill leverages the Aspire CLI (versions 13.1 or 13.2+) to execute orchestration commands and manage the application lifecycle.

Does this skill only work with .NET applications?

No, while the orchestration host (AppHost) is .NET-based, Aspire is polyglot and supports Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, Rust, and more.

Can I use this for container-only deployments?

While Aspire orchestrates containers, it is specifically designed for AppHost orchestration. For pure Docker or Podman deployments without the Aspire framework, generic container tools should be used.
