Use it when changing build files, packaging modules, publishing command-line tools, or preparing release files.
Why use it?
It provides the repository-standard process for building, packaging, checking, and publishing these different outputs.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is EvotecIT/DesktopManager's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on DesktopManager itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything DesktopManager configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

desktopmanager-build scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DesktopManager Build

Use this skill when the task touches how DesktopManager is built, packaged, or published.

Golden Path

  1. Use the repo entrypoint first: .\Build\Build-Project.ps1
  2. Prefer plan mode before changing packaging behavior: .\Build\Build-Project.ps1 -Plan
  3. For PowerShell module-only work, use: .\Build\Build-Module.ps1 -SkipInstall
  4. For CLI/app publish verification, use: .\Build\Build-Project.ps1 -Build:$false -BuildModule:$false
  5. For the daily WinUI tray app without installers, use: .\Build\Build-DesktopManagerApp.ps1
  6. For the generated DesktopManager app MSI, use: .\Build\Build-DesktopManagerApp-MSI.ps1 The MSI wrapper publishes DesktopManager.App as PortableCompat.
  7. When checking a specific runtime publish, pass: -Runtimes win-x64

Decision Rules

  • Treat Build/Build-Project.ps1 as the primary repo build and release entrypoint.
  • Prefer changing Build/project.build.json and powerforge.dotnetpublish.json over hardcoding publish behavior in ad-hoc scripts.
  • Prefer Build/Build-Module.ps1 for PowerShell packaging behavior instead of editing checked-in artefacts by hand.
  • Prefer the app/MSI wrapper scripts for daily desktop app packaging instead of invoking generated WiX files directly.
  • Verify the resulting behaviour from the real surfaces: NuGet/library, PowerShell import, CLI help, desktopmanager mcp serve, DesktopManager.App.exe, and MSI plan/build output.
  • Keep docs aligned with the actual build flow: Docs/Build.Runbook.md, README.MD, and repo-local skills.
  • When packaging or publish output changes, check the expected output locations before concluding: Artefacts/ProjectBuild, Artefacts/Unpacked, Artefacts/Packed, Artefacts/PowerForge/DesktopManager, Artefacts/PowerForge/DesktopManager.App, and Artefacts/PowerForge/Msi/DesktopManager.App.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
