wpf

wpf is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 122 tokens per session (3,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building and modernizing WPF applications, Windows desktop programs made with .NET's XAML-based user-interface framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for WPF interfaces, MVVM structure, commands, data binding, styles, threading, and migration from .NET Framework to newer .NET versions.
Why use it?
WPF applications can fail through incorrect data binding, unsafe UI-thread work, styling problems, or XAML errors that appear only when the program runs.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

wpf 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 23d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 416 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WPF

Trigger On

  • working on WPF UI, MVVM, binding, commands, or desktop modernization
  • migrating WPF from .NET Framework to .NET
  • integrating newer Windows capabilities into a WPF app
  • implementing data binding, styles, templates, or control customization
  • connecting desktop applications with backend agent services and building AI agents with .NET

Documentation

Workflow

  1. Confirm Windows-only scope — WPF is Windows-only even when the wider .NET stack is cross-platform
  2. Apply MVVM pattern — keep views dumb, logic in ViewModels, use commands
  3. Manage data binding explicitly — choose correct binding modes, validate at runtime
  4. Use styles and templates deliberately — keep UI composable, avoid page-specific hacks
  5. Handle threading correctly — use Dispatcher for UI updates, async/await for long operations
  6. Validate both designer and runtime — XAML composition failures often surface only at runtime

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
