dotnet-project-setup

dotnet-project-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (431 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-project-setup, MIT.

A guide for creating or reorganizing .NET solutions, including applications, libraries, tests, shared settings, and local development files. It helps define clear boundaries between projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose target frameworks, structure solution folders, configure shared MSBuild settings, manage packages, add test projects, and document build and run commands.
Why use it?
It prevents duplicated build settings, tangled project dependencies, unclear ownership, and new projects that lack tests or a reliable build path.

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-project-setup 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 it actually says

.NET Project Setup

Trigger On

  • creating a new .NET solution or restructuring an existing one
  • setting up Directory.Build.props, shared package management, or repo-wide defaults
  • defining project layout for apps, libraries, and test projects

Workflow

  1. Start from the app model and deployment target, then choose the smallest correct SDK and target framework set.
  2. Use solution folders and project names that reflect bounded contexts or product areas, not temporary implementation details.
  3. Centralize shared build settings, analyzer rules, nullable context, and package versions where it reduces duplication without hiding important differences.
  4. Create test projects and CI hooks early so new projects do not drift into unverified templates.
  5. Prefer project references and composition over circular dependencies or utility dumping grounds.
  6. Document the local build, test, and run path in repo docs or AGENTS.md when the workflow is not obvious.

Deliver

  • a coherent solution structure
  • shared build defaults that are easy to reason about
  • starter quality and testing hooks for future work

Validate

  • projects have explicit responsibility boundaries
  • shared MSBuild settings do not accidentally override platform-specific needs
  • a new contributor can build and test the repo without guessing

References

  • patterns.md: solution layout conventions, Directory.Build.props, Directory.Build.targets, Central Package Management, global.json, nuget.config, analyzers, multi-targeting, and source link
  • templates.md: dotnet new templates for console apps, class libraries, ASP.NET Core APIs, worker services, Blazor, test projects, .NET Aspire, and gRPC 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.
