Binlog AnalysisTriage a build / compile / restore / WarnAsError failure from its MSBuild binary log. Fetches the binlog (a local build's, or a failed dotnet/fsharp Azure DevOps PR build's published artifact) and analyzes it live via the `binlog-mcp` MCP server — structured errors, root-cause diagnosis, and an MSBuild perf X-ray. NOT for test failures or CheckCodeFormatting: a build binlog has no errors there.Code CompactionUse when a code/test/comment diff is called bloated, slop, LLM slop, bullshit, WTF, crap, rubbish, embarrassing, overengineered, adhoc, or "not paid by LOC"; or when symptoms include bloated comments, superfluous planning .md / .tools / one-time setup / phase-or-sprint tags, huge-file growth instead of new-file extraction, 5 copy-pasted tests that should be 1 parametrized test, duplicated test setup, reinvented helpers, near-duplicate logic across files, low reuse, 4+ new module-level helpers foCreating SkillsCreate custom agent capabilities when discovering novel tools, receiving task-agnostic tips from reviewers, or after researching specialized workflows not covered in existing instructions. Teaches structure, YAML optimization for LLM discoverability, and token efficiency.Flaky Test DetectorDetect flaky tests by scanning recent AzDo CI builds for test failures recurring across multiple unrelated PRs. Use when investigating intermittent failures, CI instability, deciding which tests to quarantine, or checking if RunTestCasesInSequence no-ops are causing parallel-safety issues.Fsharp DiagnosticsAlways invoke after editing `.fs` files under `src/Compiler/`. Fast parse/typecheck without `dotnet build`, plus symbol references and inferred type hints. Use whenever the user asks about F# errors, compile errors, type inference, finding usages, or renaming a symbol in the compiler tree.Ilverify FailureFix ILVerify baseline failures when IL shape changes (codegen, new types, method signatures). Use when CI fails on ILVerify job.
