This skill reviews a .NET Aspire AppHost and its service-defaults project for cloud-native readiness — the way the solution declares its services, wires their dependencies, applies health checks and resiliency, and handles configuration and secrets. Aspire composes a distributed application for local development; whether that composition translates to a production-ready system depends on health checks being present, dependencies being resilient, secrets staying out of committed configuration, and the team understanding that the AppHost is a development-time orchestrator, not a deployment platform. The review catches committed secrets, the AppHost mistaken for a production runtime, missing dependency health checks, dependencies with no resiliency policy, configuration drift between AppHost and services, optimistic service-discovery assumptions, and missing container evidence. It is a static review of source and sanitized configuration; it never runs the AppHost or deploys.
EXPLICIT NON-GOAL: The actual cloud target is out of scope — route AWS, Azure, and GCP deployment questions to those boards. Generic ASP.NET Core API review is owned by the API skill; route those there. This skill reviews only the Aspire AppHost, ServiceDefaults, and manifest.
