dotnet-maui-wpf-desktop

dotnet-maui-wpf-desktop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,935 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building Windows and cross-platform desktop apps with WPF, .NET MAUI, and Windows App SDK. It explains MVVM, a way to separate screens from application logic, plus asynchronous work, native integration, rendering, and memory use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure XAML interfaces and view models, synchronize background work with the user interface, connect native APIs, and optimize rendering and memory.
Why use it?
It helps keep desktop interfaces maintainable while preventing slow or unresponsive screens and managing platform-specific behavior.

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-maui-wpf-desktop 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 7d 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 Desktop Application Architecture: WPF & MAUI

High-Level Architecture & MVVM Pattern

Modern enterprise .NET desktop applications require clean separation of concerns, decoupling UI controls from business rules and data ingestion.
