Without an explicit <code>LangVersion</code>, the C# version follows the TFM (<code>net8.0</code> defaults to C# 12; <code>net6.0</code> defaults to C# 10, which lacks primary constructors and collection expressions). Project conventions win over these defaults, and raising <code>LangVersion</code> or the TFM to unlock syntax is a separate decision — ask first, don't do it on your own.</p>\n<h2>Defaults</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>BCL and existing NuGet packages first. Keep the app's existing choices: controllers vs minimal APIs, DI container, ORM, test framework.</li>\n<li>Nullable reference types stay on. Model absence with <code>?</code>; handle a missing result explicitly (e.g. return <code>NotFound</code>/<code>Problem</code>) instead of <code>!</code>. Never suppress a warning; fix it at the source.</li>\n<li>Async end to end: no <code>.Result</code>, <code>.Wait()</code>, or <code>GetAwaiter().GetResult()</code>. Pass <code>CancellationToken</code> through cancellable boundaries, including EF calls.</li>\n<li>Never let a singleton capture a scoped service (e.g. a <code>DbContext</code>); use <code>IServiceScopeFactory</code> or <code>IDbContextFactory</code> when a singleton needs scoped data.</li>\n<li>Validate request DTOs and message payloads at the handler before mapping to domain types; model binding alone is not validation. Return response DTOs from API boundaries, not entities.</li>\n<li>Bind and validate options at startup (<code>ValidateOnStart</code>); inject typed options instead of reading config ad hoc.</li>\n<li>Background services honor the stopping token; replace <code>Thread.Sleep</code> with a cancellable wait (<code>Task.Delay</code> with the token, or <code>PeriodicTimer</code>).</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>CLIs</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Existing CLI stack first; the BCL is enough for small tools. Add <code>System.CommandLine</code> or Spectre.Console only when the command surface justifies it.</li>\n<li>Keep <code>Program.cs</code> thin: test the command handler, or a <code>Run(args, stdout, stderr)</code> seam, and assert exit code and output with <code>dotnet test --filter</code>, including a non-zero exit and a stderr message on bad input.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/testing.md\">testing.md</a>: read when adding or reshaping tests, or when <code>dotnet test</code> is slow.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/linting.md\">linting.md</a>: read when changing <code>dotnet format</code>, analyzers, or warning policy.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Done when the relevant build/test/lint checks pass on what you changed, or you name each check that did not run and why.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"references/linting.md","sizeBytes":749,"isText":true},{"path":"references/testing.md","sizeBytes":996,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3021,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
