binlog-generation
binlog-generation is a Build, CI & test failure triage skill for AI agents, published by dotnet in the skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates binlog-generation C (74/100) and it passed the safety scan; it has also been tested head-to-head on real tasks.
Generate MSBuild binary logs (binlogs) for build diagnostics and analysis. USE FOR: adding /bl:{} to any dotnet build, test, pack, publish, or restore command to capture a full build execution trace, prerequisite for binlog-failure-analysis and build-perf-diagnostics skills, enabling post-build investigation of errors or performance. Requires MSBuild 17.8+ / .NET 8 SDK+ for {} placeholder; PowerShell needs -bl:{{}}. DO NOT USE FOR: non-MSBuild build systems (npm, Maven, CMake), analyzing an existing binlog (use binlog-failure-analysis instead).
