dotnet-ui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from novotnyllc/dotnet-artisan. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,281 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building .NET user interfaces across Blazor, MAUI, Uno Platform, WPF, WinUI, and WinForms, including layouts, components, platform behavior, and accessibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or review Blazor components, XAML and MVVM interfaces, MAUI apps, Windows desktop apps, JavaScript interop, authentication, testing, localization, and accessibility.
Why use it?
It helps choose and apply the right .NET UI patterns across web, desktop, and mobile applications instead of treating every framework the same way.

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-ui 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 8d 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 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.
