Steps

1. Run:

   dotnet add <project> package <package-name> [--version <version>]
   

   If no project path is given, omit it and let the CLI resolve from the current directory.

Inputs

Use the package name plus any extra flags the user provided (for example, --version or --project). If the request does not specify at least a package name, ask the user which package to add and to which project.
