Individual skill
template-comparison
Compares two or more dotnet new templates side by side to help users choose between them based on parameters, feature support, frameworks, and classifications. USE FOR: deciding between similar templates (webapi vs webapp, blazor vs blazorwasm, console vs worker), producing a side-by-side comparison of parameters and feature support, understanding how templates differ before creating a project. DO NOT USE FOR: creating a project from a template (use template-instantiation), authoring or validating custom templates (use template-authoring and template-validation), general single-template discovery (use template-discovery).

# Template Comparison
This skill helps an agent compare 2+ `dotnet new` templates side by side so the user can
pick the right one. It inspects each template's parameters and feature support and renders
a comparison table.
## When to Use
- User is deciding between similar templates (e.g., `webapi` vs `webapp`, `blazor` vs `blazorwasm`)
- User asks "which template should I use for X?"
- User wants to understand how two or more templates differ before creating a project
## When Not to Use
