dotnet-advisor

Router and index skill for dotnet-agent-harness. Always loaded. Routes .NET development queries to the appropriate specialist skills based on context.

Scope

• Routing .NET/C# requests to the correct domain skill or specialist agent
• Loading [skill:dotnet-csharp-coding-standards] as baseline for all code paths
• Maintaining the skill catalog and routing precedence
• Delegating complex analysis to specialist agents
• Decision-tree navigation for ambiguous requests spanning multiple domains

Out of scope

• Domain-specific implementation guidance -- see [skill:dotnet-architecture-patterns], [skill:dotnet-csharp-async-patterns], and other domain skills in the catalog below
• Project scaffolding -- see [skill:dotnet-scaffold-project]
• Version detection -- see [skill:dotnet-version-detection]
• Build system and MSBuild authoring -- see [skill:dotnet-msbuild-authoring]

Immediate Routing Actions (Do First)

For every .NET/C# request, execute this sequence before detailed planning:

1. Invoke [skill:dotnet-csharp-coding-standards].
2. Invoke the primary domain skill for the request (API, EF Core, testing, UI, CLI, architecture, etc.).
3. Continue with any additional routed skills.

For generic "build me an app" requests, do not skip step 1 even when project scaffolding is the next action.

Default Quality Rule

For any task that may produce, change, or review C#/.NET code:

1. Load [skill:dotnet-csharp-coding-standards] as a baseline dependency.
2. Then load domain-specific skills (API, EF Core, testing, UI, etc.).
3. Apply standards from coding-standards throughout planning and implementation, not only in final cleanup.

First Step: Detect Project Version

Before any .NET guidance, determine the project's target framework:

Load [skill:dotnet-version-detection] to read TFMs from .csproj, Directory.Build.props, and global.json. Adapt all guidance to the detected .NET version (net8.0, net9.0, net10.0, net11.0).
