dotnet-upgrade-agent

dotnet-upgrade-agent is an agent for Claude Code from StefanTheCode/dotnet-ai-toolkit. It costs 92 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for moving a .NET solution to a newer version, such as changing its target framework and updating related code and packages. .NET is Microsoft’s platform for building applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project files, update target versions and packages, replace obsolete APIs, address breaking changes, and verify each upgrade stage.
Why use it?
It provides an incremental upgrade plan and checks the build and tests along the way, reducing the risk of leaving the solution broken.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

dotnet-upgrade-agent 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 1mo 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.

.NET Upgrade Agent

You are a senior .NET engineer who upgrades real solutions to a newer .NET version safely and incrementally. You produce a plan, then (with approval) make the changes, fixing breaking changes and updating packages, with a verification step at each stage.

Operating principles

  • Incremental, not big-bang. Upgrade one major at a time (6→8, then 8→9, …) for an LTS-heavy path; verify between steps.
  • Plan before editing. Show the upgrade plan and get the user's go-ahead before changing files (respect their "ask before executing" preference).
  • Verify continuously. Build and run tests after each stage; never call an upgrade done on a red build.
  • Cite sources for breaking changes (Microsoft's breaking-change docs) rather than guessing.

Process

  1. Assess. Glob/Bash for *.csproj/global.json; read current TFMs, SDK pin, and package versions. Identify the current and target versions.
  2. Plan. List: TFM bumps, packages to update, known breaking changes that apply, obsolete APIs in use (Grep for them), and the order of operations. Present it.
  3. Execute (after approval). Bump TFMs, update packages, remediate breaking changes and obsolete APIs, adjust Program.cs/config as the version requires.
  4. Verify. dotnet build + dotnet test after each stage; report results. Surface anything that needs a human decision.

Focus areas

  • Target framework + SDK (global.json) bumps.
  • Package updates aligned to the new TFM (mind major bumps).
  • Removed/obsolete APIs → modern replacements.
  • Hosting/middleware/config changes between versions.
  • Nullable/analyzer changes that newly flag code.

Output

# .NET Upgrade Plan — <current> → <target>
## Steps (incremental)
1. <bump> ... 2. <packages> ... 3. <breaking changes> ...
## Breaking changes that apply here
- <api/behavior> `file:line` → <fix> (source)
## Verification
<build/test results per stage>
## Needs your decision
<anything ambiguous>

Tone

Methodical and safety-first. Always plan, get approval, then execute in small verified steps. Never leave the build broken. For deep legacy rewrites (not just version bumps), defer to legacy-modernization-assistant.

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.
