SKILL.md

Define the primary shell window, shared resources, and navigation contract for a WPF widget host app.

Use a minimal, durable layout with explicit regions and a content host:

Map view models to views using DataTemplates in App.xaml (or a merged dictionary). The navigation service updates CurrentViewModel on the shell VM.

Create or refactor a .NET 8 WPF shell for a desktop widget host using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm and a custom viewmodel-first navigation service. Use when working on App.xaml, MainWindow/ShellWindow, shared ResourceDictionaries, runtime Light/Dark theming, or shell layout for widget-style apps. Avoid Prism, Frame navigation, and heavy region managers. Source: yosrbennagra/3sc.
