item-management

item-management is a JVM & .NET skill for AI agents, published by dotnet in the skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates item-management C (74/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Patterns for managing MSBuild item groups: Include/Remove/Update semantics, item metadata, batching with %(Metadata), transforms, per-item filtering, and cross-product batching pitfalls. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing item group anti-patterns in .csproj files, reviewing item management for correctness, fixing CS2002 duplicate file warnings from SDK globbing, fixing targets that run more times than expected due to cross-product batching, fixing Include vs Update misuse on SDK-globbed items, fixing FileWrites registration for generated file clean support, moving generated files to IntermediateOutputPath. DO NOT USE FOR: target chain architecture (use target-authoring), property patterns (use property-patterns), incrementality (use incremental-build), general anti-patterns (use msbuild-antipatterns), non-MSBuild build systems.
