Description
Build and orchestrate tasks using Nuke build system. Use when task involves running Nuke build targets, orchestrating complex build workflows, or managing build pipelines.

Nuke Build Skill (Entry Map)

Status: Deprecated – Build orchestration now lives in the unify-build repository. Use that repository's build tooling instead of this skill when working on current projects. Goal: Guide agent to execute Nuke build targets and orchestrate build workflows.

Quick Start (Pick One)

  • Run build targetsreferences/build-targets.md
  • Setup Nuke in new projectreferences/setup-nuke.md

When to Use

  • Execute Nuke build targets (Clean, Restore, Compile)
  • Orchestrate complex build workflows
  • Run cross-platform builds with unified interface
  • Manage build pipelines and dependencies
  • Integrate with CI/CD systems

NOT for: Simple .NET builds (use dotnet-build), testing (dotnet-test), or formatting (code-format)

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs: target (Clean/Restore/Compile), configuration (Debug/Release), parameters (custom build parameters)

Outputs: Build artifacts, target execution logs, exit code (0=success)

Guardrails: Execute from ./build/nuke directory, verify targets exist, never commit build artifacts

Navigation

1. Run Build Targetsreferences/build-targets.md

  • Execute Clean, Restore, Compile targets
  • Pass custom parameters to build
  • Run multiple targets in sequence

2. Setup Nukereferences/setup-nuke.md

  • Bootstrap Nuke in existing project
  • Configure build targets and dependencies
  • Set up CI/CD integration

Common Patterns

Run Default Target (Compile)

cd ./build/nuke
./build.sh

Run Specific Target

cd ./build/nuke
./build.sh Clean
./build.sh Restore
./build.sh Compile

Run with Configuration

cd ./build/nuke
./build.sh Compile --configuration Release

Run Multiple Targets

cd ./build/nuke
./build.sh Clean Restore Compile

Windows (PowerShell)

cd ./build/nuke
./build.ps1 Compile

Windows (Command Prompt)

cd build\nuke
build.cmd Compile

Cross-Platform Build

# Linux/macOS
./build/nuke/build.sh Compile --configuration Release

# Windows
.\build\nuke\build.ps1 Compile --configuration Release

Troubleshooting

Build fails: Check error messages. See references/build-targets.md for detailed error handling.

Script not executable: Run chmod +x build.sh on Linux/macOS.

Missing .NET SDK: Install .NET SDK 8.0 or later. Build scripts will attempt to download if missing.

Target not found: Check available targets with ./build.sh --help or see references/build-targets.md.

Compilation errors: Nuke build uses MSBuild under the hood. Check Build.cs for target implementation.

Success Indicators

═══════════════════════════════
Target             Status      Duration
───────────────────────────────
Restore            ✓          00:00:02
Compile            ✓          00:00:05
───────────────────────────────
Build succeeded
═══════════════════════════════

Build artifacts in: ./build/nuke/build/bin/

Integration

Complements dotnet-build: Nuke orchestrates higher-level workflows; dotnet-build handles direct .NET compilation After build: dotnet-test (tests), code-analyze (static analysis) Before build: code-format (style fixes)

Nuke vs. dotnet CLI

| Aspect | Nuke Build | dotnet CLI | | ------------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Purpose | Build orchestration & pipelines | Direct .NET compilation | | Complexity | Complex multi-step workflows | Simple build/test tasks | | Cross-platform | Unified scripts (sh/ps1/cmd) | dotnet command (all platforms) | | Customization | C# code for build logic | MSBuild properties | | CI/CD | First-class support | Requires scripting | | Learning curve | Moderate (requires C# knowledge) | Low (CLI commands) |

When to use Nuke: Complex builds, CI/CD pipelines, multi-project orchestration When to use dotnet: Simple builds, quick compilation, local development

Available Targets

Current project targets (see Build.cs):

  • Clean: Removes build artifacts and output directories
  • Restore: Restores NuGet dependencies
  • Compile: Compiles the solution (default target)

Target dependencies:

  • Compile → Restore
  • Clean → (runs before Restore)
