dotnet-workload-info

dotnet-workload-info is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui-labs. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discovery guide for .NET workload and dependency information using live NuGet and .NET release data. A workload is an optional group of tools and libraries, such as those needed to build Android or iOS apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up versions and dependencies for .NET MAUI, Android, iOS, Mac Catalyst, macOS, or tvOS workloads.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when determining which SDK, workload set, Xcode, Java, Android SDK, or CI package versions a MAUI project needs.

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-workload-info scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

.NET Workload Info Discovery

Query live NuGet APIs to discover authoritative .NET SDK versions, workload sets, and dependency requirements.

Inputs

Parameter Required Example Notes
dotnetVersion yes 9.0, 10.0 Major.minor format
prerelease no true/false Default false
workload no ios, android, maui Alias or full id

Workload Aliases

Alias Full ID
ios microsoft.net.sdk.ios
android microsoft.net.sdk.android
maccatalyst microsoft.net.sdk.maccatalyst
macos microsoft.net.sdk.macos
tvos microsoft.net.sdk.tvos
maui microsoft.net.sdk.maui

Discovery Process

Step 1: Get Latest SDK Version

curl -s "https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/releases-index.json" | \
  jq '.["releases-index"][] | select(.["channel-version"]=="{MAJOR}.0")'

Extract latest-sdk and derive SDK band:

  • 10.0.103 → band 10.0.100 (hundreds digit)
  • 10.0.205 → band 10.0.200

Step 2: Find Workload Set Package / Version

Use the dotnet workload search version command to discover the latest workload set version (requires .NET SDK 9.0.200+ with workload sets support):

dotnet workload search version
# Returns: workload set version, e.g. 10.0.103
dotnet workload search version

Note: This command requires .NET SDK 9.0.200 or later. If unavailable, use the NuGet API instead: https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-gz-semver2/microsoft.net.workloads.10.0.100/index.json

The returned workloadVersion is the CLI version to use with --version flag.

Version conversion: To convert this to the NuGet package version (needed for Steps 3-4):

CLI 10.0.103 → NuGet 10.103.0 (remove middle .0., combine) Do not use the CLI version as the NuGet package version in flat-container URLs. The NuGet package is Microsoft.NET.Workloads.{band} where {band} is the SDK band derived from the CLI version (for example, CLI 10.0.103 → package Microsoft.NET.Workloads.10.0.100, NuGet version 10.103.0).

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.
