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

using-agent-skills 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.

Using dotnet-skills

Overview

dotnet-skills is a collection of 23 engineering workflow skills organized by development phase, targeted at modern .NET (8+ LTS, C# 12+). Each skill encodes a specific process with concrete dotnet CLI commands, NuGet-ecosystem tooling, and .NET-specific anti-patterns. This meta-skill helps you discover and apply the right skill for your current task.

The plugin is an indirect fork of addyosmani/agent-skills (MIT © 2025 Addy Osmani) with targeted adaptations — see the plugin's README.md and NOTICE.md. The companion avalonia-dev plugin in this marketplace covers structural Avalonia/MAUI reviews (design tokens, project layout, phased migration) and pairs naturally with the frontend-ui-engineering-avalonia skill defined here.

How Skills Activate

Two activation paths, both native to Claude Code plugins:

  1. Natural-language triggering — Each skill's YAML description is keyword-dense with .NET vocabulary (.NET 8, C# 12, xUnit, EF Core, Avalonia, dotnet test, FluentValidation, ProblemDetails, …). When your prompt matches, Claude Code offers the skill. You don't type anything special — just describe what you want.
  2. Explicit listing — Run /dotnet-skills to see every available skill grouped by phase, with natural-language trigger examples for each. Useful when you don't know the name yet, or when browsing what's possible.

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.
