 This skill ensures consistent and safe management of NuGet packages across .NET projects. It prioritizes using the `dotnet` CLI to maintain project integrity and enforces a strict verification and restoration workflow for version updates.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET SDK installed (typically .NET 8.0 SDK or later, or a version compatible with the target solution).
+- `dotnet` CLI available on your `PATH`.
+- `jq` (JSON processor) OR PowerShell (for version verification using `dotnet package search`).

 ## Core Rules
 
 1.  **NEVER** directly edit `.csproj`, `.props`, or `Directory.Packages.props` files to **add** or **remove** packages. Always use `dotnet add package` and `dotnet remove package` commands.
