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 | $0.00053 | $0.00979 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00490 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00196 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00098 |
Grade A, and why
neo-dotnet-minimal-apis 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 12d 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 Minimal APIs Expert Skill
Trigger On
- The user requests to create, debug, refactor, or review .NET Minimal APIs.
- The project's
Program.cscontainsWebApplication.CreateBuilder(args)and is not configured with a Controllers directory. - The target framework is .NET 6.0 (LTS) and above.
- There is a need to optimize API performance or simplify Web API architecture.
Workflow
- Perceive (Architecture Awareness):
- Check
.csprojto identifyTargetFramework. - Analyze
Program.csto distinguish whether it uses simple endpoints or adopts a Module-based or Vertical Slice organization. - Identify whether OpenAPI (Swagger) support has been configured.
- Check
- Reason (Planning Phase):
- Evaluate whether "Route Groups" need to be introduced to optimize organizational structure.
- Determine whether to use "Endpoint Filters" to handle cross-cutting concerns (such as parameter validation).
- Choose the most appropriate syntax based on the .NET version (e.g.,
TypedResultsin .NET 7+).
- Act (Execution Phase):
- Write clean, high-performance Minimal API code, prioritizing Lambdas or extension methods.
- Implement strong typing and DTOs (prioritize using
record). - Integrate dependency injection, avoiding the Service Locator pattern.
- Validate (Standard Validation):
- Validate whether the endpoints correctly return expected HTTP status codes.
- Check whether the generated OpenAPI documentation is complete.
- Ensure asynchronous operations correctly pass the
CancellationToken.
Feature Roadmap (.NET 6 - 10)
.NET 6 & 7 (Foundation)
- Minimal Hosting: Simplified startup process and top-level statements.
- Route Groups: Use
MapGroupto consolidate prefixes and authentication. - Endpoint Filters: Implement interception logic within Minimal APIs.
- Typed Results: Improved unit testing and Swagger support.
.NET 8 & 9 (Productivity)
- Antiforgery: Built-in anti-forgery token support.
- Form Binding: Support for
[FromForm]parameter binding. - HybridCache: High-performance multi-level caching support.
- OpenAPI Improvements: Better OpenAPI code generation.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

neo-dotnet-minimal-apis is a skill published in the GitHub repository Benknightdark/neo-skills (7 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 979 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 2026-08-31.
