dotnet-wcf

dotnet-wcf is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (410 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of wcf, MIT.

A guide for WCF, a .NET technology for SOAP services and clients that can use several communication protocols. It covers service contracts, bindings, security, hosting, and migration decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build or review WCF services and clients, configure transport and security settings, and plan endpoint-by-endpoint migrations.
Why use it?
It helps maintain WCF configuration safely and decide when an older SOAP service should remain in place or move to a modern HTTP API.

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-wcf 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

Windows Communication Foundation

Trigger On

  • working on WCF services, bindings, or clients
  • deciding whether a service should stay WCF or move to modern HTTP APIs
  • reviewing transport, security, or interoperability settings

Workflow

  1. Use WCF where SOAP, WS-* features, or multi-transport service requirements are real; do not rewrite those needs into HTTP-only guidance by accident.
  2. Keep contracts, bindings, behaviors, and hosting configuration explicit because WCF complexity compounds through configuration indirection.
  3. For new REST-style services, prefer modern ASP.NET Core APIs instead of extending WCF into a shape it is no longer best suited for.
  4. Plan migrations per endpoint and capability: transport, security model, transaction requirements, metadata, and client compatibility.
  5. Validate interoperability and deployment assumptions with the actual client ecosystem, not only local service startup.
  6. When WCF coexists with ASP.NET, be explicit about which runtime behaviors are shared and which are not.

Deliver

  • stable WCF service or client configuration
  • realistic migration guidance to newer stacks where appropriate
  • clear contract and binding ownership

Validate

  • WCF is used for a reason the modern stack does not replace directly
  • binding and security behavior are explicit
  • interop is verified with real consumers

References

  • migration.md - WCF to gRPC/REST/CoreWCF migration paths, decision framework, and endpoint-by-endpoint migration strategy
  • patterns.md - WCF maintenance patterns for configuration, contracts, hosting, security, diagnostics, and client proxy management

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.
