# GitHub DevOps
- Identify your sub-task and read ONLY the relevant reference before proceeding. The project-specific build references live in `6-Docs/DevOps/` and are looked up by name from the root `AGENTS.md` Repository Configuration & Paths registry, not by a path embedded here — this keeps the skill valid if that documentation moves.
+ Identify your sub-task and read ONLY the relevant reference document before proceeding. All references are self-contained and located in the local `references/` directory.
- | Sub-Task | When to Use | Registry Key |
+ | Sub-Task | When to Use | Reference |
|---|---|---|
- | CI Build Diagnostics | Build step fails in GitHub Actions; capture and analyze binary logs (binlog); replay error/warning logs | [CI Build Diagnostics](./references/ci-build-diagnostics.md) (skill-local, not registered) |
- | Build Performance | CI builds are slow; enable parallelism (`-m`); identify bottlenecks; MSBuild Server warm-up for sequential CI builds | **Build Performance** |
- | Incremental Build & Caching | GitHub Actions cache for `obj/`; incremental build never skipping targets; always rebuilding after first run | **Incremental Build** |
- | Directory.Build Organization | Centralize build settings across projects; `Directory.Build.props`/`.targets`/`Directory.Packages.props`; multi-level hierarchy | **Directory.Build Organization** |
- | MSBuild Modernization | Legacy `.csproj` with `ToolsVersion`; explicit `<Compile>` lists; `packages.config`; migrate to SDK-style | **MSBuild Modernization** |
- | MSBuild Anti-patterns | Cross-platform build failures; hardcoded paths; `<Exec>` shell commands; `<Reference>` with `HintPath`; unquoted conditions | **MSBuild Anti-patterns** |
