dotnet-mvvm

dotnet-mvvm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,329 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mvvm, MIT.

A guide for building .NET user interfaces with Model-View-ViewModel, or MVVM. MVVM separates the visible screen from application data and UI behavior so that the behavior can be tested independently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create ViewModels, bind screen data, implement commands and property changes, connect services, handle messaging, and test UI logic without opening the interface.
Why use it?
It helps prevent business logic from becoming tangled inside UI code. It also gives commands, data binding, state, and messaging clear responsibilities.

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-mvvm 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.

MVVM Pattern for .NET

Trigger On

  • implementing UI separation with Model-View-ViewModel
  • using MVVM Toolkit (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm) for ViewModels
  • designing testable UI architecture
  • handling commands, property changes, and messaging
  • choosing between MVVM frameworks

Documentation

References

See detailed examples in the references/ folder:

Core Concepts

Component Responsibility Example
Model Business logic and data Product, Order, User
View UI presentation (XAML/Razor) ProductPage.xaml
ViewModel UI logic and state ProductViewModel

Workflow

  1. Keep Views dumb — no business logic in code-behind
  2. Use data binding — connect View to ViewModel properties
  3. Commands for actions — handle user interactions via ICommand
  4. Inject dependencies — services go into ViewModel constructors
  5. Test ViewModels — they should be unit testable without UI

MVVM Toolkit Setup

<PackageReference Include="CommunityToolkit.Mvvm" Version="8.*" />

ViewModel Patterns

Basic ViewModel with Source Generators

public partial class ProductViewModel(IProductService productService) : ObservableObject
{
    [ObservableProperty]
    private string _name = string.Empty;

    [ObservableProperty]
    private decimal _price;

    [ObservableProperty]
    [NotifyCanExecuteChangedFor(nameof(SaveCommand))]
    private bool _isValid;

    [RelayCommand(CanExecute = nameof(CanSave))]
    private async Task SaveAsync()
    {
        await productService.SaveAsync(new Product { Name = Name, Price = Price });
    }

    private bool CanSave() => IsValid && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name);
}

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.
