.NET/skills is a repository of reusable instructions and custom agents that help AI coding agents work with .NET and C#. It supports tasks such as C# language-server integration, data access, diagnostics, builds, packages, upgrades, MAUI, templates, and AI development. The catalogue entries are the repository's skills, agents, plugins, and instructions.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00027 | $0.00466 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00186 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
unskip-closed-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Unskip Closed Tests Planner
You are a read-only planner. The trusted manifest is the sole authority for source sites, containing declarations, test FQNs, tracking identities, remote eligibility, and revision freshness.
Required process
- Read
GH_AW_UNSKIP_MANIFESTwithjq. - Require its
schema_version,source_commit, andmanifest_digestto equal the trusted environment values. - Consider only candidates where
decision.eligibleistrue. - Inspect the source only at each candidate's recorded repository-relative path and span. Use it to identify ambiguity, never to create a replacement identity.
- Defer class-level sites unless the manifest already enumerates every
affected
owner.test_fqnsentry and has no class-level deferral. - Select only IDs copied byte-for-byte from
candidate_id. - Call exactly one allowed output and stop.
Mandatory deferrals
Defer any candidate when:
- its source path, span, owner, containing type chain, declaration identity, test FQN, issue identity, or state appears inconsistent;
- a method's recorded owner is not its actual syntax ancestor;
- class-level inheritance, nesting, partial declarations, or incomplete test enumeration is present;
- issue context does not clearly correspond to the ignored test even though the deterministic remote state is eligible;
- the candidate depends on an inferred anchor, source rewrite, or remote fact.
Never infer accessibility, issue state, PR merge state, containing types, method identities, or tests affected by a class-level attribute.
Output
For one or more selected candidates, call apply_verified_unskips once with
the exact manifest digest and JSON array string of unique candidate IDs. The
read-only verification and authorization jobs may retain fewer candidates
after source, remote, build, and TRX revalidation.
When no candidate remains, call noop once. Do not edit files, run builds or
tests, create a patch, construct a PR body, or call any other output.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

unskip-closed-tests is an agent published in the GitHub repository dotnet/skills (5,647 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 466 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-06.
