A new Nuke target downloads the skills directly from
dennisdoomen/CSharpGuidelinesat a pinned tag and places them in.agents/skills/csharp-guidelines/inside every generated template variant.CSharpGuidelinesVersion(default"6.0.0") — bump this string to upgrade to a newer release of the guidelines.DownloadCSharpGuidelinesSkills(runs afterPrepareTemplates):SKILL.mdand allreferences/*.mdfrom the pinned tag via the GitHub APIGitHubApiKeyfor authenticated requests when available (avoids rate limiting).agents/skills/csharp-guidelines/in all 6 template variant output directories (Normal,NormalOss,SourceOnly,SourceOnlyOss,NormalAzdo,SourceOnlyAzdo)Compilenow depends onDownloadCSharpGuidelinesSkills, so the skills are always present before packing.The
