csharp-scripts

separate

Run file-based C# apps with the .NET CLI when the user explicitly wants C#/.NET code without creating a project. Use for C# language/API experiments, one-file C# apps, small multi-file C# apps composed with `#:include`/`#:exclude`, or C# file-based apps linked with `#:ref`. Do not use for language-agnostic throwaway scripts, generic computations, Python/PowerShell-style automation, full projects, or existing app integration.

When to use

• Testing a C# concept, API, or language feature with a quick file-based app
• Prototyping logic before integrating it into a larger project
• Building a small utility from one entry-point file and a few helper `.cs` files

When not to use

• The user asks for a language-agnostic quick script, throwaway computation, or shell/Python/PowerShell-style automation
• The user needs a full project, solution integration, or project references in an existing app
• The user is working inside an existing .NET solution and wants to add code there
• The app is large enough that project structure, build customization, tests, or publish configuration should live in a `.csproj`
