Query .NET APIs across NuGet packages, platform libraries, and local files. Search for types, list API surfaces, compare versions, find extension methods and implementors. Use whenever you need to answer questions about .NET library contents.
Organize DI registrations using IServiceCollection extension methods. Group related services into composable Add* methods for clean Program.cs and reusable configuration in tests.
Guide for optimizing MSBuild incremental builds. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. Use when builds are slower than expected on subsequent runs, when 'nothing changed but it rebuilds anyway', or when diagnosing why incremental builds are broken. Covers Inputs/Outputs on targets, FileWrites tracking, up-to-date checks, and diagnosing unnecessary rebuilds via binlog analysis.
Guide for organizing MSBuild infrastructure with Directory.Build.props, Directory.Build.targets, Directory.Packages.props, and Directory.Build.rsp. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. Use when structuring multi-project repos, centralizing build settings, or implementing central package management. Invoke when asked about Directory.Build files, centralizing project properties, or organizing build infrastructure.
Patterns for using Testcontainers in .NET integration tests to spin up real dependencies like databases and message queues. Use when writing integration tests that require real databases, testing with message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka, or isolating test dependencies with Docker containers.
Production-grade logging and observability patterns for ASP.NET Core Razor Pages. Covers structured logging with Serilog, correlation IDs, health checks, request logging, OpenTelemetry integration, and diagnostic best practices. Use when setting up structured logging in ASP.NET Core applications, implementing distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry, or configuring health checks and observability.
Modeling business domains. Aggregates, value objects, domain events, rich models, repositories.
Publish and deploy C# MCP servers. Covers NuGet packaging for stdio servers, Docker containerization for HTTP servers, Azure Container Apps and App Service deployment, and publishing to the official MCP Registry. USE FOR: packaging stdio MCP servers as NuGet tools, creating Dockerfiles for HTTP MCP servers, deploying to Azure Container Apps or App Service, publishing to the MCP Registry at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, configuring server.json for MCP package metadata, setting up CI/CD for MCP server publishing. DO NOT USE FOR: publishing general NuGet libraries (not MCP-specific), general Docker guidance unrelated to MCP, creating new servers (use mcp-csharp-create), debugging (use mcp-csharp-debug), writing tests (use mcp-csharp-test).
Create MCP servers using the C# SDK and .NET project templates. Covers scaffolding, tool/prompt/resource implementation, and transport configuration for stdio and HTTP. USE FOR: creating new MCP server projects, scaffolding with dotnet new mcpserver, adding MCP tools/prompts/resources, choosing stdio vs HTTP transport, configuring MCP hosting in Program.cs, setting up ASP.NET Core MCP endpoints with MapMcp. DO NOT USE FOR: debugging or running existing servers (use mcp-csharp-debug), writing tests (use mcp-csharp-test), publishing or deploying (use mcp-csharp-publish), building MCP clients, non-.NET MCP servers.
Guide for implementing Shell-based navigation in .NET MAUI apps. Covers AppShell setup, visual hierarchy (FlyoutItem, TabBar, Tab, ShellContent), URI-based navigation with GoToAsync, route registration, query parameters, back navigation, flyout and tab configuration, navigation events, and navigation guards. Use when: setting up Shell navigation, adding tabs or flyout menus, navigating between pages with GoToAsync, passing parameters between pages, registering routes, customizing back button behavior, or guarding navigation with confirmation dialogs. Do not use for: deep linking from external URLs (see .NET MAUI deep linking documentation), data binding on pages (use maui-data-binding), dependency injection setup (use maui-dependency-injection), or NavigationPage-only apps that don't use Shell.
Design, tune, or review EF Core data access with proper modeling, migrations, query translation, performance, and lifetime management for modern .NET applications.
Guides creation and validation of custom dotnet new templates. Generates templates from existing projects and validates template.json for authoring issues. USE FOR: creating a reusable dotnet new template from an existing project, validating template.json files for schema compliance and parameter issues, bootstrapping .template.config/template.json with correct identity, shortName, parameters, and post-actions, packaging templates as NuGet packages for distribution. DO NOT USE FOR: finding or using existing templates (use template-discovery and template-instantiation), MSBuild project file issues unrelated to template authoring, NuGet package publishing (only template packaging structure).
