dotnet-aot-compat

dotnet-aot-compat is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (3,909 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-aot-compat, MIT.

A guide to making a .NET project work with Native AOT and trimming. Native AOT compiles an application ahead of time, while trimming removes code that static analysis considers unused; the guide addresses warnings caused by reflection and similar patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fix IL2026, IL2070, IL2067, IL2072, and IL3050 warnings, annotate reflection-based code, and enable AOT compatibility checks.
Why use it?
Code that discovers types or members at runtime can be removed or fail when the application is trimmed or compiled ahead of time. Resolving the analyzer warnings makes those assumptions explicit.

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-aot-compat 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 5d 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.

dotnet-aot-compat

Make .NET projects compatible with Native AOT and trimming by systematically resolving all IL trim/AOT analyzer warnings.

When to Use This Skill

  • "Make this project AOT-compatible"
  • "Fix trimming warnings" or "fix IL warnings"
  • "Resolve IL2070 / IL2067 / IL2072 / IL2026 / IL3050 warnings"
  • "Add DynamicallyAccessedMembers annotations"
  • "Enable IsAotCompatible in my .csproj"
  • "My project has trim analyzer warnings after upgrading to net8.0"
  • "Annotate reflection code for the trimmer"

When Not to Use This Skill

Do not use this skill when the project exclusively targets .NET Framework (net4x), which does not support the trim/AOT analyzers.

Prerequisites

An existing .NET project targeting net8.0 or later (or multi-targeting with at least one net8.0+ TFM) and the corresponding .NET SDK installed.

Background: What AOT Compatibility Means

Native AOT and the IL trimmer perform static analysis to determine what code is reachable. Reflection can break this analysis because the trimmer can't see what types/members are accessed at runtime. The IsAotCompatible property enables analyzers that flag these issues as build warnings (ILXXXX codes).

Critical Rules

❌ Never suppress warnings incorrectly

  • NEVER use #pragma warning disable for IL warnings. It hides warnings from the Roslyn analyzer at build time, but the IL linker and AOT compiler still see the issue. The code will fail at trim/publish time.
  • NEVER use [UnconditionalSuppressMessage]. It tells both the analyzer AND the linker to ignore the warning, meaning the trimmer cannot verify safety. Raising an error at build time is always preferable to hiding the issue and having it silently break at runtime.

💡 Preferred approaches

  • Prefer [DynamicallyAccessedMembers] annotations to flow type information through the call chain.
  • Prefer refactoring to eliminate patterns that break annotation flow (e.g., boxing Type through object[]).
  • Use [RequiresUnreferencedCode] / [RequiresDynamicCode] / [RequiresAssemblyFiles] to mark methods as fundamentally incompatible with trimming, propagating the requirement to callers. This surfaces the issue clearly rather than hiding it — callers must explicitly acknowledge the incompatibility.

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.
