SKILL.md

Generate Dockerfile and configuration files to containerize an ASP.NET .NET Framework application for Windows containers.

Detects .NET Framework version from project file and selects appropriate Windows Server base images (Core or Full, versions 2016–2022)

Modifies web.config to enable environment variable configuration via ConfigurationBuilders for app settings and connection strings

Creates multi-stage Dockerfile with separate build (SDK) and runtime (ASP.NET) stages, including LogMonitor setup for container logging

Handles dependencies: GAC assembly registration, MSI installation, COM component registration, registry keys, Windows roles/features, and custom file copying

Generates .dockerignore and LogMonitorConfig.json files; validates successful Docker image build before completion

ASP.NET .NET Framework Containerization Prompt

Containerize the ASP.NET (.NET Framework) project specified in the containerization settings below, focusing exclusively on changes required for the application to run in a Windows Docker container. Containerization should consider all settings specified here.

REMEMBER: This is a .NET Framework application, not .NET Core. The containerization process will be different from that of a .NET Core application.

Containerization Settings

This section of the prompt contains the specific settings and configurations required for containerizing the ASP.NET (.NET Framework) application. Prior to running this prompt, ensure that the settings are filled out with the necessary information. Note that in many cases, only the first few settings are required. Later settings can be left as defaults if they do not apply to the project being containerized.

Any settings that are not specified will be set to default values. The default values are provided in [square brackets].
