dotnet-nuget
Overview
Use this skill for NuGet package management, dependency upgrades, central package management, restore failures, lock files, feeds, and package modernization with guidance from dotnet/skills.
Workflow
- Inspect package references,
Directory.Packages.props, lock files, NuGet config, feeds, and CI restore commands.
- Identify direct and transitive dependencies before changing versions.
- Preserve compatibility ranges, target frameworks, package source mapping, and private-feed configuration.
- Validate with restore, build, tests, and package vulnerability checks where available.
Guardrails
- Do not update unrelated packages in the same change.
- Avoid leaking private feed URLs, credentials, or tokens in output.
- Call out breaking changes and package downgrade or conflict risks.
Expected Output
Return package changes or guidance with dependency rationale and validation results.
