dotnet
Overview
Use this skill when a .NET repository needs C# language-server grounding, project discovery, or high-level agent guidance from the upstream dotnet/skills project.
Workflow
- Identify the solution, project files, SDK version, target frameworks, workloads, and test projects.
- Prefer language-server and
dotnet CLI evidence over guessing symbols, references, or diagnostics.
- Make changes in small slices, preserving public API, configuration, serialization, and deployment behavior.
- Validate with the narrowest useful restore, build, test, or analyzer command.
Guardrails
- Do not assume upstream plugins are installed locally.
- Match the repository's current SDK, target framework, nullable context, analyzers, and formatting.
- Record missing SDKs, workloads, packages, or LSP capabilities explicitly.
Expected Output
Return .NET-focused code changes or guidance with project evidence, commands run, and validation results.
