+# Build scripts - quick guideline
+
+As the result of our recent changes, use the following guidance when working in the PowerToys repo:
+
+1. Use `build-essentials.ps1` before any development in general
+   - Purpose: restore NuGet packages for the full solution and build a small set of essential native projects (runner, settings). This is a fast way to ensure native artifacts required for local development are available.
+
+2. Use `build.ps1` from any folder
+   - Purpose: lightweight local builder. It auto-discovers the target platform (x64/arm64/x86) and builds projects it finds in the current directory.
+   - Notes: you can pass additional MSBuild arguments (e.g. `./tools/build/build.ps1 '/p:CIBuild=true'`) — the script will forward them to MSBuild.
+   - Use `-RestoreOnly` to only restore packages for local projects.
+
+3. Use `build-installer.ps1` to create a local installer (use with caution)
+   - Purpose: runs the full pipeline that restores, builds the full solution, signs packages, and builds the installer (MSI/bootstrapper).
+   - Caution: this script performs cleaning (git clean) and installer packaging steps that may remove untracked files under `installer/`.
+
+Additional notes
+- Shared helpers live in `build-common.ps1` and are used by the other scripts (`RunMSBuild`, `RestoreThenBuild`, `BuildProjectsInDirectory`, platform auto-detection).
+- If you want a different default platform selection, set the `-Platform` parameter explicitly when invoking the scripts.
+
+If you want, I can add this guidance to the repository README instead or add a short one-liner comment to the top of `build-common.ps1` so tools can discover it automatically.

+.SYNOPSIS
+Shared build helper functions for PowerToys build scripts.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+This file provides reusable helper functions used by the build scripts:
+- Get-BuildPaths: returns ScriptDir, OriginalCwd, RepoRoot (repo root detection)
+- RunMSBuild: wrapper around msbuild.exe (accepts optional Platform/Configuration)
+- RestoreThenBuild: performs restore and optionally builds the solution/project
+- BuildProjectsInDirectory: discovers and builds local .sln/.csproj/.vcxproj files
+
+USAGE
+Dot-source this file from a script to load helpers:
+. "$PSScriptRoot\build-common.ps1"
+
+.NOTES
+Do not execute this file directly; dot-source it from `build.ps1` or `build-installer.ps1` so helpers are available in your script scope.

+.DESCRIPTION
+Lightweight script to build a small set of essential C++ projects used by PowerToys' runner and native modules. This script first restores NuGet packages for the full solution (`PowerToys.sln`) and then builds the runner and settings projects. Intended for fast local builds during development.

+Target platform for the build (for example: 'x64', 'arm64'). If omitted the script will attempt to auto-detect the host platform.

+.SYNOPSIS
+Light-weight wrapper to build local projects (solutions/projects) in the current working directory using helpers in build-common.ps1.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+This script is intended for quick local builds. It dot-sources `build-common.ps1` and calls `BuildProjectsInDirectory` against the current directory. Use `-RestoreOnly` to only restore packages for local projects. If `-Platform` is omitted the script attempts to auto-detect the host platform.
+
+.PARAMETER Platform
+Target platform (e.g., 'x64', 'arm64'). If omitted the script will try to detect the host platform automatically.
+
+.PARAMETER Configuration
+Build configuration (e.g., 'Debug', 'Release'). Default: 'Debug'.
+
+.PARAMETER RestoreOnly
+If specified, only perform package restore for local projects and skip the build steps for a solution file (i.e. .sln).
+
+.PARAMETER ExtraArgs
+Any remaining, positional arguments passed to the script are forwarded to MSBuild as additional arguments (e.g., '/p:CIBuild=true').
+
+.EXAMPLE
+.\tools\build\build.ps1
+Builds any .sln/.csproj/.vcxproj in the current working directory (auto-detects Platform).
+
+.EXAMPLE
+.\tools\build\build.ps1 -Platform x64 -Configuration Release
+Builds local projects for x64 Release.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+.\tools\build\build.ps1 '/p:CIBuild=true' '/p:SomeOther=Value'
+Pass additional MSBuild arguments; these are forwarded to the underlying msbuild calls.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+.\tools\build\build.ps1 -RestoreOnly '/p:CIBuild=true'
+Only restores packages for local projects; ExtraArgs still forwarded to msbuild's restore phase.
+
+.NOTES
+- This file expects `build-common.ps1` to be located in the same folder and dot-sources it to load helper functions.
+- ExtraArgs are captured using PowerShell's ValueFromRemainingArguments and joined before being passed to the helpers.
