**WORKFLOW SKILL** - Wire an Aspire AppHost after `aspire init` drops a skeleton.
Scans the repo, proposes a resource graph, edits the AppHost (C#, file-based C#, or
TypeScript), wires `Aspire.ServiceDefaults` + OTel, validates with `aspire start`,
then self-deactivates.
USE FOR: wire AppHost, scaffold resource graph, add Postgres/Redis/Rabbit/Mongo to
Aspire, connect frontend to API, after `aspire init` what next, AddNextJsApp, AddViteApp,
WithBrowserLogs, file-based apphost.cs, apphost.ts, unified withEnvironment,
refuse .aspire/modules edit, migrate .env files, migrate user secrets.
DO NOT USE FOR: skeleton drop (use aspire-init), start/stop/wait/restart (use
aspire-orchestration), publish/deploy/destroy (use aspire-deployment), logs/traces
(use aspire-monitoring).
INVOKES: aspire CLI (add, start, wait, describe, docs api search, stop), AppHost
source edits, ServiceDefaults wiring.
FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: Run `aspire add PACKAGE` directly for a one-off integration.
