- Fetch And Send DatadotnetCall APIs, load data into components, and handle the async lifecycle in Blazor. USE FOR fetching data from a backend, submitting data to an API, displaying loading/error states, registering HttpClient, building service abstractions for Auto/WebAssembly render modes.
- Filter SyntaxdotnetReference data for test filter syntax across all platform and framework combinations: VSTest --filter expressions, MTP filters for MSTest/NUnit/xUnit v3/TUnit, and VSTest-to-MTP filter translation. DO NOT USE directly â loaded by run-tests, mtp-hot-reload, and migrate-vstest-to-mtp when they need filter syntax.
- Find Untested Sources.NET PlatformMANDATORY for static source-to-test pairing: find or list source files/modules without corresponding tests, or suggest test locations from repository structure. Invoke even for a tiny package; do not substitute manual globbing. Uses Roslyn for C#/.NET and tree-sitter for Python, TS/JS, Go, Java, Rust, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift, PowerShell, and C++.
- Generate Testability WrappersdotnetDO NOT USE when the target already consumes an injected interface or built-in abstraction such as IFileSystem or TimeProvider, even if the request says "generate a wrapper"; no new wrapper is needed. Use only when C# source calls an ambient/static dependency and no injectable seam exists: first-time TimeProvider, IHttpClientFactory, or System.IO.Abstractions adoption; minimal Environment/Console/…
- Grade Tests.NET PlatformGrade curated individual tests for readiness, A-F quality and improvements. ALWAYS USE FOR: grade tests, review only a named test, per-test readiness or quality bands for supplied methods, bodies, file spans or bounded PR diffs, including existing tests. Return Pass/Failed/Uncertain/Not applicable; unresolved/empty scopes omit grades. Compose read-only per-test evidence. Polyglot.
- Improve Skill Quality.NET PlatformDiagnoses and fixes skills in the dotnet/skills repository that lose to their own baseline, fail to activate, time out, or return "no credible improvement". Use when an evaluation verdict is a regression or underpowered, when a skill regressed after a change, when /evaluate reports no results, or when deciding whether a weak skill should be strengthened or retired.
- Including Generated FilesdotnetFix MSBuild targets that generate files during the build but those files are missing from compilation or output. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. USE FOR: generated source files not compiling (CS0246 for a type that should exist), custom build tasks that create files but they are invisible to subsequent targets, globs not capturing build-generated files because they expand at…
- Incremental BuilddotnetGuide for optimizing MSBuild incremental builds. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. USE FOR: builds slower than expected on subsequent runs, 'nothing changed but it rebuilds anyway', diagnosing why targets re-execute unnecessarily, fixing broken no-op builds.
- Item ManagementdotnetPatterns for managing MSBuild item groups: Include/Remove/Update semantics, item metadata, batching with %(Metadata), transforms, per-item filtering, and cross-product batching pitfalls. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context.
- Maui App Lifecycledotnet.NET MAUI app lifecycle guidance — the four app states, cross-platform Window lifecycle events (Created, Activated, Deactivated, Stopped, Resumed, Destroying), platform-specific lifecycle mapping, backgrounding and resume behavior, and state-preservation patterns.
- Maui CollectionviewdotnetGuidance for implementing CollectionView in .NET MAUI apps — data display, layouts (list & grid), selection, grouping, scrolling, empty views, templates, incremental loading, swipe actions, and pull-to-refresh.
- Maui Data BindingdotnetGuidance for .NET MAUI XAML and C# data bindings — compiled bindings, INotifyPropertyChanged / ObservableObject, value converters, binding modes, multi-binding, relative bindings, fallbacks, and MVVM best practices.
- Maui Dependency InjectiondotnetGuidance for configuring dependency injection in .NET MAUI apps — service registration in MauiProgram.cs, lifetime selection (Singleton / Transient / Scoped), constructor injection, Shell navigation auto-resolution, platform-specific registrations, and testability patterns.
- Maui Safe Areadotnet.NET MAUI safe area and edge-to-edge layout guidance for .NET 10+. Covers the new SafeAreaEdges property, SafeAreaRegions enum, per-edge control, keyboard avoidance, Blazor Hybrid CSS safe areas, migration from legacy iOS-only APIs, and platform-specific behavior for Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst.
- Maui Shell NavigationdotnetGuide for implementing Shell-based navigation in .NET MAUI apps. Covers AppShell setup, visual hierarchy (FlyoutItem, TabBar, Tab, ShellContent), URI-based navigation with GoToAsync, route registration, query parameters, back navigation, flyout and tab configuration, navigation events, and navigation guards.
- Maui ThemingdotnetGuide for theming .NET MAUI apps — light/dark mode via AppThemeBinding, ResourceDictionary theme switching, DynamicResource bindings, system theme detection, and user theme preferences. Use when: "dark mode", "light mode", "theming", "AppThemeBinding", "theme switching", "ResourceDictionary theme", "dynamic resources", "system theme detection", "color scheme", "app theme", "DynamicResource".
- MCP Csharp CreatedotnetCreate MCP servers using the C# SDK and .NET project templates. Covers scaffolding, tool/prompt/resource implementation, and transport configuration for stdio and HTTP. USE FOR: creating new MCP server projects, scaffolding with dotnet new mcpserver, adding MCP tools/prompts/resources, choosing stdio vs HTTP transport, configuring MCP hosting in Program.cs, setting up ASP.NET Core MCP endpoints…
- MCP Csharp DebugdotnetRun and debug C# MCP servers locally. Covers IDE configuration, MCP Inspector testing, GitHub Copilot Agent Mode integration, logging setup, and troubleshooting. USE FOR: running MCP servers locally with dotnet run, configuring VS Code or Visual Studio for MCP debugging, testing tools with MCP Inspector, testing with GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, diagnosing tool registration issues, setting up…
- MCP Csharp PublishdotnetPublish and deploy C# MCP servers. Covers NuGet packaging for stdio servers, Docker containerization for HTTP servers, Azure Container Apps and App Service deployment, and publishing to the official MCP Registry.
- MCP Csharp TestdotnetTest C# MCP servers at multiple levels: unit tests for individual tools and integration tests using the MCP client SDK. USE FOR: unit testing MCP tool methods, integration testing with in-memory MCP client/server, end-to-end testing via MCP protocol, testing HTTP MCP servers with WebApplicationFactory, mocking dependencies in tool tests, creating evaluations for MCP servers, writing eval…
- MicrobenchmarkingdotnetActivate this skill when BenchmarkDotNet (BDN) is involved in the task — creating, running, configuring, or reviewing BDN benchmarks. Also activate when microbenchmarking .NET code would be useful and BenchmarkDotNet is the likely tool. Consider activating when answering a .NET performance question requires measurement and BenchmarkDotNet may be needed.
- Migrate Dotnet10 To Dotnet11dotnetMigrate a .NET 10 project or solution to .NET 11 and resolve all breaking changes. This is a MIGRATION skill — use it when upgrading from .NET 10 to .NET 11, NOT for writing new programs. USE FOR: upgrading TargetFramework from net10.0 to net11.0, fixing build errors after updating the .NET 11 SDK, resolving source-breaking and behavioral changes in .NET 11 runtime, C# 15 compiler, and EF Core…
