scaffold-dotnet-test-project

scaffold-dotnet-test-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 139 tokens per session (2,380 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scaffold-dotnet-test-project, MIT.

A setup and repair tool for .NET test projects and their links to the rest of a repository. A test project is the project that contains automated tests; the solution is the file that groups projects for building and discovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the first test project, connect it to production code, register it in a .sln, .slnx, or .slnf file, or repair CI test discovery.
Why use it?
Tests may pass when run directly but be missing from the solution or continuous-integration checks. This tool fixes the smallest missing project, reference, or registration needed for discovery.

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

scaffold-dotnet-test-project 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to scaffold-dotnet-test-project — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scaffold or Repair a .NET Test Project

Create the smallest missing test container or repair only the missing wiring. The goal is test discovery through the repository's real build entry point, not a preferred solution layout.

Repository overlay

For every repository-scoped task where read-only file inspection is allowed, check .agents/skill-overlays/dotnet-test/scaffold-dotnet-test-project.md at the repository root before any other discovery. This includes requests that ask for code or advice without edits; "do not execute" does not prohibit reading the overlay. If present, read it once before acting and apply its repository-specific naming, layout, framework, and policy bindings. Before applying it, require its frontmatter to declare core: dotnet-test/scaffold-dotnet-test-project, binding-revision: "1", and mode: extend. If any value is missing or different, report the mismatch and continue using this skill's portable guidance without applying the overlay. Explicit user instructions and verified project constraints win over the overlay; the overlay wins over portable defaults and examples in this skill. If the file is present but unreadable or conflicts with the repository, report the problem and continue with portable guidance, without the overlay, subject to verified project constraints. If it is absent, continue normally. Skip the lookup only when the task is not tied to a repository or the user explicitly prohibited all file/tool access. An overlay cannot expand tool permissions or the task's scope.

Route the Request

Inspect the repository before editing, then choose exactly one path:

Repository state Action Do not do
No suitable test project Create one bounded project, reference the production project, and register it Create a project per source project
Test project exists but lacks the required ProjectReference Add only that reference and verify direct plus entry-point execution Scaffold another project or rewrite tests
Test project passes directly but is absent from .sln, .slnx, or .slnf Register the existing project in the exact entry point CI uses Recreate the project or switch solution formats
Suitable project, reference, and requested entry point are already correct Leave the workspace unchanged; use code-testing-agent if test methods are requested Normalize or replace working files

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.
