Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Guide for interpreting ResolveProjectReferences time in MSBuild performance summaries. Activate when ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target and developers are trying to optimize it directly. Explains that the reported time includes wait time for dependent project builds and is misleading. Guides users to focus on task self-time instead. Do not activate for general build performance -- use build-perf-diagnostics instead.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-project-references' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-project-references' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named resolve-project-references already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/microsoft/testfx' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8dd78e1347417e400c3ef8d786059a8bb346162f' -- '.agents/skills/resolve-project-references' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/resolve-project-references' ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-project-references' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-project-references' ~/.claude/skills/'resolve-project-references' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
