maui-current-apis

maui-current-apis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui-labs. It costs 74 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for choosing .NET MAUI APIs that match the project's target framework. .NET MAUI is a framework for building apps for phones, desktops, and other platforms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when checking target frameworks, replacing outdated app and window APIs, handling platform-specific code, and building the affected project.
Why use it?
It avoids code that only works on a newer .NET version or relies on older Xamarin.Forms patterns.

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

maui-current-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 6d 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.

MAUI Current APIs

Use this skill before changing MAUI app code when API currency matters. The goal is to inspect the project target first, then select APIs that match that target instead of generating stale Xamarin.Forms or early MAUI patterns.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the target frameworks and package versions before recommending APIs:

    grep -R -n --include="*.csproj" --include="Directory.Build.props" "<TargetFramework" . 2>/dev/null
    grep -R -n --include="*.csproj" --include="Directory.Build.props" --include="Directory.Packages.props" \
      "Microsoft.Maui.Controls\\|UseMaui\\|MauiVersion" . 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Identify whether the project targets .NET 8, .NET 9, .NET 10, or multiple versions. Do not assume net10.0.

  3. Prefer APIs from Microsoft.Maui.* namespaces. Do not add Xamarin.Forms or Xamarin.Essentials namespaces to MAUI projects.

  4. If replacing an obsolete API, explain the replacement and why it matches the detected target.

  5. Keep platform-specific code behind #if ANDROID, #if IOS, #if MACCATALYST, #if WINDOWS, or an injected platform service.

  6. Build the changed project for the relevant target framework.

Common Agent Traps

Avoid Prefer
using Xamarin.Forms; using Microsoft.Maui.Controls;
using Xamarin.Essentials; using Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel, Microsoft.Maui.Devices, Microsoft.Maui.Storage, or the specific MAUI namespace
Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(...) MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(...)
Device.StartTimer(...) Dispatcher.StartTimer(...) or IDispatcherTimer
Device.RuntimePlatform for platform behavior DeviceInfo.Platform, OnPlatform, or compile-time platform services
MessagingCenter for new app architecture WeakReferenceMessenger, events, interfaces, or another explicit messaging abstraction
Old Xamarin.Forms custom renderers for new code MAUI handlers, property mappers, or platform services
Hard-coded safe area padding SafeAreaEdges / safe area APIs for the detected MAUI version
Coordinate-based UI automation Stable AutomationId plus DevFlow queries
Application.Current.MainPage = ... for routine navigation Shell navigation with registered routes, or set Window.Page explicitly for intentional app reset flows
