Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### Describe the bug

The skills and/or the mcp specification must be absolutely terrible 👎

Because, I have yet to see it properly use `aspire start` EVER without manual prompting to use the skill. 👎

It doesn't use `aspire wait`, often preferring to make a manual loop of checking the healthcheck endpoint. 👎

and trying to detect startup/compile errors usually results in it trying to compile manually. 👎

Getting file lock errors while compiling? Correctly guesses it is aspire holding the locks, but usually just ignores it and determines project is un-buildable. 👎

Finished the task, and not doing anything? Leave aspire hanging around keeping those file locks, so that you have to kill aspire manually in task manager to compile and run yourself. 👎

Overall, an extremely frustrating experience.

### Expected Behavior

That the skill/mcp actually improves the usability...

### Steps To Reproduce

Try it for something other than demo.

### Exceptions (if any)

_No response_

### .NET Version info

_No response_

### Anything else?

13.2.0+1b339b0aab41b049e8e0d21ed1a79596cf8b8509
