opening-in-rider

Purpose

Use this skill when the user wants to open a file or project in JetBrains Rider from the CLI, while preserving solution context.

Behavior

1. Accept a file or directory path (default .).
2. Walk upward from that location to find the nearest directory containing one or more *.sln files.
3. If a solution is found, open Rider with the solution and target path.
4. If no solution is found, fall back to nearest *.csproj.
5. If neither is found, open the target directly.
6. Launch Rider in non-blocking mode (fire-and-forget) so the terminal session is not held open.

Scripts

Use:

• Linux/macOS (Bash): ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.sh <path> [--line <n>]
• Windows (PowerShell): ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.ps1 <path> [--line <n>]

Examples:

• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.sh src/MyFile.cs
• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.sh src/MyFile.cs --line 120
• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.sh .
• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.ps1 src/MyFile.cs
• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.ps1 src/MyFile.cs --line 120
• ./skills/opening-in-rider/scripts/open-in-rider.ps1 .

Notes

• Requires Rider CLI to be available on PATH (rider on Unix-like systems; rider, rider.bat, or rider64.exe on Windows).
• When multiple .sln files exist in the same directory, the script prefers one whose base name matches that directory name; otherwise it uses alphabetical order.
