Cadenza.Templates

Read this in 한국어.

dotnet new project templates for the Cadenza single-file scripting SDK family. Each template produces a single .cs file ready to dotnet run.

Install

dotnet new install Cadenza.Templates

Use

Short name Variant Produces
cadenza-console (also cadenza) Cadenza Console script (shell, CLI, build glue)
cadenza-worker Cadenza.Worker Background service / daemon
cadenza-web Cadenza.Web Minimal API endpoint
cadenza-mcp Cadenza.Mcp MCP server for Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code AI
cadenza-agent Cadenza.Agent AI agent with OpenAI-compatible HTTP frontend (Ollama / OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure OpenAI)
dotnet new cadenza -n mytool -o ./mytool   # alias for cadenza-console
cd mytool
dotnet run mytool.cs

Each starter pins the matching SDK version, lists the Tier 1 bare names available, and includes a comment with the publish command for a self-contained binary.

Categorization

All five templates carry the Cadenza classification tag so they group together in Visual Studio's "New Project" dialog (once VS surfaces them as of a later release), while each also carries its own variant tag (Console, Worker, Web / WebAPI, AI / MCP, AI / Agent) so they appear under those filters too. The defaultName pre-fills a sensible project name per variant (e.g., MyScript, MyWorker, MyApi, MyMcpServer, MyAgent).

Uninstall

dotnet new uninstall Cadenza.Templates

See the project repository for the full SDK family.
