Detects new MAF releases, extracts breaking changes, and keeps the toolkit's registry/matrix/guide current. Pipeline: (1) deterministic data extraction via GitHub Actions + Python helpers + dotnet-inspect, opens a PR with raw data and TODOs on a per-version branch (never commits direct to main), (2) optionally, a maintainer manually runs a sibling workflow that opens a GitHub issue for GitHub Copilot Coding Agent to fill the TODOs, (3) Copilot opens a PR with the fills. This skill documents the whole loop end-to-end.
The fix-everything playbook for the maf-remediate loop: per-rule canonical fix + how to tell a real finding from a false positive (by confidence tier). Use when driving a codebase to a clean MAF health grade — triage heuristic findings before changing code.
Machine-readable registry of known CS0618 obsolete API warnings for MAF migrations. Each entry maps an obsolete method signature to its replacement, with the exact fix pattern. Prefer the MCP tool MafRegistryLookup (by ID) or MafApiSafety (by symbol) for one-shot queries; this skill is for understanding the registry schema and contributing new entries. Load this skill when cs0618-hunter has identified a CS0618 warning and you need the deterministic fix.
Maintainer runbook for keeping maf-autopilot current with new MAF releases. Use when a new MAF version has shipped and .maf-version is stale. Covers the full loop: pre-flight check → trigger watcher → monitor PR → fill TODOs → review → merge. Distinct from maf-release-watcher (which describes what the automation does internally); this skill tells YOU what to do as the operator.
Cross-framework migration map: Semantic Kernel (C#) → Microsoft Agent Framework. Load this skill when porting an SK app to MAF (NOT a MAF version bump). It is the smart index over docs/migration/from-semantic-kernel-to-maf.md — it tells you each SK construct's MAF target and its migration strategy (🌉 bridge / 🔁 rewrite / 🏗 re-architect), so you migrate construct-by-construct, side-by-side, non-destructively.
Validates fan-out / fan-in workflow topology — detects the silent fan-in starvation pattern (handlers returning void / non-generic Task that produce no downstream message). Canonical rules + procedure for what the compiler cannot catch and the build cannot surface.
Scans a MAF 1.3.0 codebase for known anti-patterns AFTER migration is complete. Prefer the MCP tool MafScanAntiPatterns for one-shot scans; this skill is for understanding the rule taxonomy or contributing new anti-pattern rules. Detects insecure credential usage (DefaultAzureCredential, hard-coded keys), unsafe defaults (EnableSensitiveData=true in non-dev), thread-unsafe state in AIContextProvider, missing observability (UseOpenTelemetry not wired), and missing identity (ManagedIdentityCredential preferred over secret-based auth). Counterpart to migration tooling: this is steady-state best-practice review.
Detects and fixes CS0618 obsolete API warnings in .NET builds. The compiler is the authoritative source for what your project actually triggers — it catches transitive obsoletions, overload-resolution surprises, and project-local [Obsolete] attributes that static inspection cannot see. Pair with dotnet-inspect@0.7.8+ for the static / pre-build view.
