dotnet-development

dotnet-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 24 tokens per session (439 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for modern C# and .NET applications, including web APIs, dependency injection, asynchronous code, and automated tests. .NET is Microsoft's application platform, and C# is its main programming language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build .NET services and APIs, structure configuration and middleware, write unit and integration tests, and connect to real test infrastructure.
Why use it?
It provides consistent application patterns and helps avoid common problems with null values, service dependencies, asynchronous work, and testing.

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-development 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 26d 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.

What it actually says

CIEL ADAPTATION: .NET Development (Modern & Typed)

This skill formalizes the development of robust C# applications using .NET 8+. it prioritizes immutability, explicit DI, and async efficiency.

Idiomatic Standards

  1. Immutability First: Use public sealed record for all DTOs and Value Objects. Use init setters for optional properties.
  2. Explicit Nullability: Enable <Nullable>enable</Nullable>. Use ? for optional types.
  3. Async Efficiency: Use await all the way down. ALWAYS pass CancellationToken to async I/O calls.
  4. DI Discipline: Depend on abstractions (IInterface). Prohibit manual new Service() in business logic.

ASP.NET Core Patterns

  • Minimal APIs: Use MapGroup to organize routes. Use TypedResults for unit-testable responses.
  • Options Pattern: Map config sections to sealed class options. Inject via IOptions<T>.
  • Middleware: Use for cross-cutting concerns (Logging, Auth, Performance).

TDD & Verification

  • Framework: xUnit + FluentAssertions.
  • Mocking: Use NSubstitute for clean, interface-based mocking.
  • Integration: Use WebApplicationFactory and Testcontainers for real infrastructure testing (SQL, Redis).
  • Gate: Run dotnet test with 80% coverage check.

Anti-Patterns

  • Async Void: Using async void except for top-level event handlers.
  • Blocking on Async: Using .Result or .Wait() (causes deadlocks).
  • Fat Controllers: Putting business logic in API controllers instead of Services or MediatR handlers.

Changes

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.
