.NET MAUI is a C# and XAML framework for building native mobile and desktop applications from one shared codebase. Developers use it to create apps for Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Windows. The catalogue entries provide skills, instructions, and agents for working with .NET MAUI.

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 | $0.02481 | $0.02481 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00992 | $0.00992 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00496 | $0.00496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00248 | $0.00248 |
Grade A, and why
maui integration-tests.instructions.md 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 MAUI Integration Tests Guidelines
Integration tests validate end-to-end functionality by creating, building, and running .NET MAUI projects using templates and the local workload.
Test Framework
These integration tests use NUnit as the test framework.
CI Infrastructure
All integration tests run on Azure DevOps agents via the stage template eng/pipelines/arcade/stage-integration-tests.yml.
- Windows tests: Run on Windows 1ES pools
- macOS tests: Run on Azure Pipelines hosted images
- General macOS tests:
macOS-15(ARM64/Apple Silicon) RunOnAndroid:macOS-15(via MacOSPool)RunOniOS_*: Each iOS test runs in two separate lanes:- ARM64 lane (
MacOSPoolArm64):macOS-15with Apple Silicon - MacOSPool lane (
MacOSPool): For comparison testing
- ARM64 lane (
- General macOS tests:
Test Retry
Integration tests are configured with automatic retry on failure (retryCountOnTaskFailure: 1). If a test fails, Azure DevOps will automatically retry it once before reporting failure.
Log Preservation: Logs from each attempt are saved to separate folders (attempt-1/, attempt-2/, etc.) so that both the original run and retry logs are preserved for debugging. This uses the SYSTEM_JOBATTEMPT environment variable provided by Azure DevOps.
Individual iOS Test Lanes
iOS tests are split into individual jobs for faster debugging and parallel execution. Each test runs on both ARM64 and MacOSPool for comparison:
| Test | Description | Timeout |
|---|---|---|
RunOniOS_MauiDebug |
MAUI app, Debug config | 45 min |
RunOniOS_MauiRelease |
MAUI app, Release config | 45 min |
RunOniOS_MauiReleaseTrimFull |
MAUI app, Release, full trim | 45 min |
RunOniOS_BlazorDebug |
Blazor app, Debug config | 45 min |
RunOniOS_BlazorRelease |
Blazor app, Release config | 45 min |
RunOniOS_MauiNativeAOT |
MAUI app, NativeAOT | 45 min |
Note: RunOniOS_BlazorReleaseTrimFull is temporarily disabled due to ASP.NET Core issue #63951.
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.

maui integration-tests.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dotnet/maui (23,322 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 2,481 tokens to every session, about $0.0099 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 2026-08-30.
