dotnet / migrate-nunit-to-mstestConvert .NET tests from NUnit 3/4 to MSTest v4 while preserving VSTest or MTP. Use for replacing NUnit/NUnit3TestAdapter packages, Test/TestCase/ TestCaseSource/Values attributes, constraint assertions, SetUp/TearDown, OneTimeSetUp, SetUpFixture, FixtureLifeCycle, TestContext, categories, retries, t…
dotnet / crap-scoreCalculates CRAP (Change Risk Anti-Patterns) for a named .NET method, class, or file. USE FOR: explicit CRAP calculation or coverage-and-complexity risk within that named target, including which tests to prioritize.
dotnet / detect-static-dependenciesACTIVATION PREREQUISITE: the request or discovered target must explicitly identify C#, .NET, `.cs`, or `.csproj`; otherwise stay dormant without invoking this skill.
dotnet / grade-testsGrade 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.
dotnet / testability-obstacleMUST USE for C#/.NET deterministic tests that require the smallest production seam for DateTime/Task.Delay/File/Environment/Guid/Random, static API preservation, nested/parallel overrides, or no real I/O. USE ONLY when the target workspace contains C# source plus a .csproj or .sln.
dotnet / winforms-expertCreate, modify, debug, or review Windows Forms applications only when the request contains a concrete Windows Forms marker.
dotnet / create-custom-agentCreates VS Code custom agent files (.agent.md) for specialized AI personas with tools, instructions, and handoffs
dotnet / vectorizationDesign, implement, optimize, and review SIMD code in .NET. USE FOR: vectorizing scalar loops with TensorPrimitives, Vector64/128/256/512, or platform hardware intrinsics; reviewing existing SIMD code, including the generic Vector type, for contract equivalence, tail handling, memory safety, portabil…
dotnet / dump-collectConfigure and collect crash dumps for modern .NET applications. USE FOR: enabling automatic crash dumps for CoreCLR or NativeAOT, capturing dumps from running .NET processes, setting up dump collection in Docker or Kubernetes, using dotnet-dump collect or createdump.
dotnet / binlog-generationGenerate MSBuild binary logs (binlogs) for build diagnostics and analysis. USE FOR: adding /bl:{} to any dotnet build, test, pack, publish, or restore command to capture a full build execution trace, prerequisite for binlog-failure-analysis and build-perf-diagnostics skills, enabling post-build inve…
dotnet / eliminate-redundant-restoresRemove repeated NuGet restores from multi-step .NET builds safely. USE FOR: build/test/publish steps that each restore, Directory.Build.rsp with -restore, safe restore suppression, NETSDK1004/NETSDK1047 after --no-restore.
dotnet / item-managementOwn concrete MSBuild ItemGroup and item-expression questions. USE FOR: Include, Remove, Update, item identity and metadata, transforms, filtering, batching, duplicate or overlapping items, and reviews that verify whether those operations are correct.
dotnet / template-comparisonCompares two or more dotnet new templates side by side to help users choose between them based on parameters, feature support, frameworks, and classifications.
dotnet / filter-syntaxReference-only filter syntax for VSTest and MTP with MSTest, NUnit, xUnit v3, and TUnit. Load only after the platform/framework is known and a consumer needs to create or translate a filter. Do not load for unfiltered runs or platform detection.
dotnet / scaffold-dotnet-test-projectMUST USE when an existing .NET test project was excluded from a .slnf/CI solution filter, disappeared from .sln/.slnx discovery, or lost its production ProjectReference; also for requests to set up, create, reuse, add, register, include, or repair a test project.
dotnet / exp-test-maintainabilityDetects duplicate boilerplate, copy-paste tests, and structural maintainability issues across .NET test suites
dotnet / platform-detectionIdentify a .NET project's test platform, framework, command mode, and SDK-style vs classic project system. Use only for "which test platform/framework?", "VSTest or MTP?", or "what runner does this project use?", including bridge settings, UseVSTest opt-outs, and incompatible or conflicting VSTest/M…
dotnet / use-igniteui-blazorAdd, configure, or review Ignite UI for Blazor Lite component support in Blazor applications. USE FOR: installing IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite or IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite, registering AddIgniteUIBlazor() in Blazor Server, WASM, Hybrid, or split Blazor Web App projects, adding @using IgniteUI.Blazor.Controls…
dotnet / convert-to-cpmConvert .NET projects and solutions (.sln, .slnx) to NuGet Central Package Management (CPM) using Directory.Packages.props.
dotnet / assertion-qualityAnalyze assertion quality, depth, variety, and false confidence in existing tests. ALWAYS USE when asked about weak, shallow, trivial, always-true, self-referential, assertion-free, presence/truthiness-only, or insufficiently diverse assertions, including MSTest, Jest, pytest, and Go.
dotnet / test-anti-patternsAudit a test file or suite; produce a severity-ranked diagnostic report. ALWAYS USE for tests that verify nothing, missing/tautological assertions, swallowed/broad exceptions, flaky/order-dependent tests, duplication, or magic values. Polyglot.
dotnet / test-gap-analysisFind caller-visible production changes existing tests would miss through pseudo-mutation analysis; verify candidates or close gaps only when requested. Includes read-only per-test composition for grading. Polyglot. USE FOR: would tests catch a bug, behavioral blind spots, surviving mutations.
dotnet / migrate-dotnet10-to-dotnet11Migrate 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.
