dotnet-microsoft-extensions

dotnet-microsoft-extensions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-microsoft-extensions, MIT.

A guide to Microsoft’s shared .NET infrastructure components for dependency injection, configuration, logging, options, hosted services, and outgoing HTTP clients. These components help applications start, configure, and connect their services consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to wire services together, bind and validate settings, configure logging, add background services, and create managed HTTP clients in .NET applications.
Why use it?
It removes repeated setup code and avoids common problems such as scattered configuration, weak logging, or poorly managed HTTP connections.

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-microsoft-extensions 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 9d 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 it actually says

Microsoft.Extensions for .NET

Trigger On

  • wiring dependency injection, configuration, logging, or options
  • introducing Generic Host patterns into non-web .NET apps
  • cleaning up service registration, typed HTTP clients, or shared infrastructure code

Workflow

  1. Prefer the Generic Host for apps that need configuration, DI, logging, hosted services, or coordinated startup.
  2. Keep service registration predictable: composition at the edge, concrete implementations hidden behind interfaces only where that abstraction buys flexibility.
  3. Use options binding for structured configuration and validate configuration at startup when bad settings would fail later at runtime.
  4. Prefer IHttpClientFactory and typed or named clients for outbound HTTP instead of ad-hoc singleton or per-call HttpClient usage.
  5. Use logging categories and config-driven log levels rather than scattered ad-hoc logging behavior.
  6. Avoid building mini-frameworks over Microsoft.Extensions unless the repo genuinely needs reusable composition primitives.

Deliver

  • clean host wiring and service registration
  • configuration and logging that are observable and testable
  • infrastructure code that fits naturally with the .NET stack

Validate

  • service lifetimes are correct
  • configuration is strongly typed where it matters
  • host setup remains easy to debug and reason about

References

  • patterns.md - DI patterns, Configuration patterns, Options pattern, Logging patterns, HttpClientFactory patterns, Hosted Service patterns
  • anti-patterns.md - Common mistakes with DI, configuration, options, logging, HttpClient, and hosted services
Files

What ships with it

2 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.

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.
