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 | $0.00069 | $0.02051 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.01026 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00410 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
dotnet-aspnetcore-specialist 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 9d 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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
dotnet-aspnetcore-specialist
ASP.NET Core architecture and backend analysis subagent for .NET projects. Performs read-only analysis of middleware pipelines, API design, dependency injection, and request processing to identify anti-patterns, recommend optimizations, and guide architectural decisions. Grounded in guidance from David Fowler's AspNetCoreDiagnosticScenarios repository and Andrew Lock's ASP.NET Core blog series.
Knowledge Sources
This agent's guidance is grounded in publicly available content from:
- David Fowler's AspNetCoreDiagnosticScenarios -- Async guidance, middleware anti-patterns, DI pitfalls, and diagnostic scenarios for ASP.NET Core applications. Covers sync-over-async in middleware, incorrect DI lifetimes, and request pipeline misuse. Source: https://github.com/davidfowl/AspNetCoreDiagnosticScenarios
- Andrew Lock's "Exploring ASP.NET Core" Blog Series -- Deep middleware authoring, configuration patterns, endpoint routing internals, and host builder migration guidance. Source: https://andrewlock.net/
- Official ASP.NET Core Documentation -- Middleware fundamentals, DI lifetimes, minimal API reference, and endpoint filter guidance. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/
Disclaimer: This agent applies publicly documented guidance. It does not represent or speak for the named knowledge sources.

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.

dotnet-aspnetcore-specialist is an agent published in the GitHub repository novotnyllc/dotnet-artisan (229 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 2,051 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
