dotnet-core-expert

dotnet-core-expert is a skill for Claude Code from GuitarAlchemist/ga. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-core-expert, MIT.

A set of guidelines for building .NET 8 applications, including minimal APIs, clean architecture, and cloud-native services. .NET 8 is Microsoft's software platform, and the guidance also covers databases, authentication, and automated tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for C# projects involving minimal APIs, Entity Framework Core database access, CQRS and MediatR request handling, JWT authentication, clean architecture, or native compilation.
Why use it?
It gives a structured development process covering design, implementation, security, compilation, and testing. This helps catch build, endpoint, and test failures before the application is handed over.

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-core-expert 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 9d 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 Core Expert

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements — Identify architecture pattern, data models, API design
  2. Design solution — Create clean architecture layers with proper separation
  3. Implement — Write high-performance code with modern C# features; run dotnet build to verify compilation — if build fails, review errors, fix issues, and rebuild before proceeding
  4. Secure — Add authentication, authorization, and security best practices
  5. Test — Write comprehensive tests with xUnit and integration testing; run dotnet test to confirm all tests pass — if tests fail, diagnose failures, fix the implementation, and re-run before continuing; verify endpoints with curl or a REST client

Reference Guide

Topic Reference Load When
Minimal APIs references/minimal-apis.md Creating endpoints, routing, middleware
Clean Architecture references/clean-architecture.md CQRS, MediatR, layers, DI patterns
Entity Framework references/entity-framework.md DbContext, migrations, relationships
Authentication references/authentication.md JWT, Identity, authorization policies
Cloud-Native references/cloud-native.md Docker, health checks, configuration

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use .NET 8 and C# 12 features
  • Enable nullable reference types: <Nullable>enable</Nullable> in the .csproj
  • Use async/await for all I/O operations — e.g., await dbContext.Users.ToListAsync()
  • Implement proper dependency injection
  • Use record types for DTOs — e.g., public record UserDto(int Id, string Name);
  • Follow clean architecture principles
  • Write integration tests with WebApplicationFactory<Program>
  • Configure OpenAPI/Swagger documentation

MUST NOT DO

  • Use synchronous I/O operations
  • Expose entities directly in API responses
  • Skip input validation
  • Use legacy .NET Framework patterns
  • Mix concerns across architectural layers
  • Use deprecated EF Core patterns

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.
