Do not load every reference by default.</p>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Confirm the target framework, SDK, and current app model.</li>\n<li>Open <a href=\"references/stack-selection.md\">references/stack-selection.md</a> first for new apps or major refactors.</li>\n<li>Open <a href=\"references/program-and-pipeline.md\">references/program-and-pipeline.md</a> next for <code>Program.cs</code>, DI, configuration, middleware, routing, logging, and static assets.</li>\n<li>Open exactly one primary app-model reference:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-blazor.md\">references/ui-blazor.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-razor-pages.md\">references/ui-razor-pages.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-mvc.md\">references/ui-mvc.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md\">references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md</a></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Add cross-cutting references only as needed:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/data-state-and-services.md\">references/data-state-and-services.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/security-and-identity.md\">references/security-and-identity.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md\">references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"references/testing-performance-and-operations.md\">references/testing-performance-and-operations.md</a></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Open <a href=\"references/versioning-and-upgrades.md\">references/versioning-and-upgrades.md</a> before introducing new platform APIs into an older solution or when migrating between major versions.</li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"references/source-map.md\">references/source-map.md</a> when you need the Microsoft Learn section that corresponds to a task not already covered by the focused references.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Default Operating Assumptions</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer the latest stable ASP.NET Core and .NET unless the repository or user request pins an older target.</li>\n<li>As of March 2026, prefer .NET 10 / ASP.NET Core 10 for new production work. Treat ASP.NET Core 11 as preview unless the user explicitly asks for preview features.</li>\n<li>Prefer <code>WebApplicationBuilder</code> and <code>WebApplication</code>. Avoid older <code>Startup</code> and <code>WebHost</code> patterns unless the codebase already uses them or the task is migration.</li>\n<li>Prefer built-in DI, options/configuration, logging, ProblemDetails, OpenAPI, health checks, rate limiting, output caching, and Identity before adding third-party infrastructure.</li>\n<li>Keep feature slices cohesive so the page, component, endpoint, controller, validation, service, data access, and tests are easy to trace.</li>\n<li>Respect the existing app model. Do not rewrite Razor Pages to MVC or controllers to Minimal APIs without a clear reason.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Reference Guide</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/_sections.md\">references/_sections.md</a>: Quick index and reading order.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/stack-selection.md\">references/stack-selection.md</a>: Choose the right ASP.NET Core application model and template.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/program-and-pipeline.md\">references/program-and-pipeline.md</a>: Structure <code>Program.cs</code>, services, middleware, routing, configuration, logging, and static assets.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-blazor.md\">references/ui-blazor.md</a>: Build Blazor Web Apps, choose render modes, and use components, forms, and JS interop correctly.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-razor-pages.md\">references/ui-razor-pages.md</a>: Build page-focused server-rendered apps with handlers, model binding, and conventions.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/ui-mvc.md\">references/ui-mvc.md</a>: Build controller/view applications with clear separation of concerns.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md\">references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md</a>: Build HTTP APIs with Minimal APIs or controllers, including validation and response patterns.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/data-state-and-services.md\">references/data-state-and-services.md</a>: Use EF Core, <code>DbContext</code>, options, <code>IHttpClientFactory</code>, session, temp data, and app state responsibly.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/security-and-identity.md\">references/security-and-identity.md</a>: Apply authentication, authorization, Identity, secrets, data protection, CORS, CSRF, and HTTPS guidance.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md\">references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md</a>: Use SignalR, gRPC, and hosted services.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/testing-performance-and-operations.md\">references/testing-performance-and-operations.md</a>: Add integration tests, browser tests, caching, compression, health checks, rate limits, and deployment concerns.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/versioning-and-upgrades.md\">references/versioning-and-upgrades.md</a>: Handle target frameworks, breaking changes, obsolete APIs, and migrations.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/source-map.md\">references/source-map.md</a>: Map the official ASP.NET Core documentation tree to the references in this skill.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Execution Notes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>When generating new code, start from the correct <code>dotnet new</code> template and keep the generated structure recognizable.</li>\n<li>When editing an existing solution, follow the solution's conventions first and use these references to avoid framework misuse or outdated patterns.</li>\n<li>When a task mentions \"latest\", verify the feature on Microsoft Learn or the ASP.NET Core docs repo before relying on memory.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":222,"isText":true},{"path":"assets/dotnet-logo.png","sizeBytes":2270,"isText":false},{"path":"LICENSE.txt","sizeBytes":11357,"isText":true},{"path":"references/apis-minimal-and-controllers.md","sizeBytes":3040,"isText":true},{"path":"references/data-state-and-services.md","sizeBytes":2422,"isText":true},{"path":"references/program-and-pipeline.md","sizeBytes":4182,"isText":true},{"path":"references/realtime-grpc-and-background-work.md","sizeBytes":1896,"isText":true},{"path":"references/_sections.md","sizeBytes":2412,"isText":true},{"path":"references/security-and-identity.md","sizeBytes":2941,"isText":true},{"path":"references/source-map.md","sizeBytes":2040,"isText":true},{"path":"references/stack-selection.md","sizeBytes":3700,"isText":true},{"path":"references/testing-performance-and-operations.md","sizeBytes":2698,"isText":true},{"path":"references/ui-blazor.md","sizeBytes":2478,"isText":true},{"path":"references/ui-mvc.md","sizeBytes":1954,"isText":true},{"path":"references/ui-razor-pages.md","sizeBytes":1937,"isText":true},{"path":"references/versioning-and-upgrades.md","sizeBytes":2085,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":5544,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
