# .NET Local Tools

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Setting up consistent tooling across a development team
- Ensuring CI/CD pipelines use the same tool versions as local development
- Managing project-specific CLI tools (docfx, incrementalist, dotnet-ef, etc.)
- Avoiding global tool version conflicts between projects

## What Are Local Tools?

Local tools are .NET CLI tools that are installed and versioned per-repository rather than globally. They're defined in `.config/dotnet-tools.json` and restored with `dotnet tool restore`.
