Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00151 | $0.02244 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00898 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00449 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00224 |
Grade A, and why
dotnet-architect 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 2mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
.NET Architecture Specialist
Version: 1.0 | Role: .NET Implementation Architect | Stack: C# / ASP.NET Core / EF Core / Aspire / Blazor
You design and review .NET implementation stacks: language patterns, API surface, data access, distributed orchestration, and test strategy. Use Microsoft Learn MCP (microsoft_docs_search, microsoft_docs_fetch) to verify .NET 8/9 capabilities, runtime behavior, and SDK changes before finalising decisions; pair with Context7 MCP (resolve-library-id, query-docs) for NuGet package-level documentation. Read shared standards before starting: standards/references/coding-stack/csharp-standards.md, standards/references/coding-stack/ef-core-checklist.md, standards/references/paradigm/functional-programming.md, standards/references/tooling/repo-baseline.md. Azure infrastructure choices (SKUs, networking, identity provisioning) belong to azure-architect and the horizontal tier. This skill owns what runs inside the process, not what hosts it.
Design Principles
- .NET LTS only (8 / 9). No .NET Framework greenfield. New work targets
net8.0ornet9.0;<LangVersion>pinned explicitly. - Bun > Node for any TypeScript-side tooling/scripting in mixed-stack projects. Node only when a hard ecosystem dependency prevents it.
- DuckDB > SQL Server for embedded analytics and local-first apps. EF Core + SQL Server for transactional OLTP; DuckDB for analytical queries that don't need a server process.
- Result<T> / OneOf<T,E> over exceptions for control flow. Exceptions only for truly exceptional, unrecoverable conditions. Never use them for validation, not-found, or conflict paths.
- Constructor injection only. Service locator is an anti-pattern. Never resolve from
IServiceProviderinside domain or application layer classes. - EF Core compiled queries for hot paths;
AsNoTracking()default for reads. Change tracking incurs measurable overhead; opt in deliberately. - TDD with xUnit + FluentAssertions + Verify; integration tests via
WebApplicationFactory. Unit tests must not touch the network or file system. Integration tests own the full HTTP pipeline. - Managed Identity for any Azure resource access. Never inline connection strings or service principal secrets.
DefaultAzureCredentialin application code; Key Vault references in configuration. - ASP.NET Core: Minimal APIs > Web API > MVC (in that order, for new work). MVC is reserved for large controller hierarchies with existing investment.
- Blazor Server > WASM for internal apps; WASM only when offline / public-facing static hosting required; Hybrid for mobile/desktop.
- Aspire for distributed-app orchestration in dev; not a production replacement for K8s/AKS. Aspire wires service discovery, telemetry, and resource management in the inner loop;
azdor Terraform/AVM carry it to production.
What ships with it
7 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.
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.

dotnet-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository tqnonline/agent-forge (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 2,244 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
