Configure Aspire AppHost to emit explicit app config via environment variables; keep app code free of Aspire clients and service discovery.
Migrate a .NET 8 project to .NET 9 and resolve all breaking changes. USE FOR: upgrading TargetFramework from net8.0 to net9.0, fixing build errors after updating the .NET 9 SDK, resolving behavioral changes in .NET 9 / C# 13 / ASP.NET Core 9 / EF Core 9, replacing BinaryFormatter (now always throws), resolving SYSLIB0054-SYSLIB0057, adapting to params span overload resolution, fixing C# 13 compiler changes, updating HttpClientFactory for SocketsHttpHandler, and resolving EF Core 9 migration/Cosmos DB changes. DO NOT USE FOR: .NET Framework migrations, upgrading from .NET 7 or earlier, greenfield .NET 9 projects, or cosmetic modernization unrelated to the upgrade.
Migrate a .NET 9 project or solution to .NET 10 and resolve all breaking changes. USE FOR: upgrading TargetFramework from net9.0 to net10.0, fixing build errors after updating the .NET 10 SDK, resolving source and behavioral changes in .NET 10 / C# 14 / ASP.NET Core 10 / EF Core 10, updating Dockerfiles for Debian-to-Ubuntu base images, resolving obsoletion warnings (SYSLIB0058-SYSLIB0062), adapting to SDK/NuGet changes (NU1510, PrunePackageReference), migrating System.Linq.Async to built-in AsyncEnumerable, fixing OpenApi v2 API changes, cryptography renames, and C# 14 compiler changes (field keyword, extension keyword, span overloads). DO NOT USE FOR: .NET Framework migrations, upgrading from .NET 8 or earlier (use migrate-dotnet8-to-dotnet9 first), greenfield .NET 10 projects, or cosmetic modernization. LOADS REFERENCES: csharp-compiler, core-libraries, sdk-msbuild (always); aspnet-core, efcore, cryptography, extensions-hosting, serialization-networking, winforms-wpf, containers-interop (selective).
Detects MSBuild projects with conflicting OutputPath or IntermediateOutputPath. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. USE FOR: builds failing with 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists', 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process', intermittent build failures that succeed on retry, missing outputs in multi-project builds, multi-targeting builds where project.assets.json conflicts. Diagnoses when multiple projects or TFMs write to the same bin/obj directories due to shared OutputPath, missing AppendTargetFrameworkToOutputPath, or extra global properties like PublishReadyToRun creating redundant evaluations. DO NOT USE FOR: file access errors unrelated to MSBuild (OS-level locking), single-project single-TFM builds, non-MSBuild build systems. INVOKES: dotnet msbuild binlog replay, grep for output path analysis.
Create a shared ServiceDefaults project for Aspire applications. Centralizes OpenTelemetry, health checks, resilience, and service discovery configuration across all services.
Run single-file C# programs as scripts for quick experimentation, prototyping, and concept testing. Use when the user wants to write and execute a small C# program without creating a full project.
Proper handling of files generated during the MSBuild's build process. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. Use when generated files are not being included in compilation, output, or when globs aren't capturing generated files. Covers MSBuild evaluation vs execution phases, timing targets to include generated files, and ensuring generated files are tracked for incremental builds and clean.
Build or review distributed .NET applications with Orleans grains, silos, persistence, streaming, reminders, placement, transactions, serialization, event sourcing, testing, and cloud-native hosting.
Writing xUnit tests. v3 Fact/Theory, fixtures, parallelism, IAsyncLifetime, v2 compatibility.
Choosing the right concurrency abstraction in .NET - from async/await for I/O to Channels for producer/consumer to Akka.NET for stateful entity management. Avoid locks and manual synchronization unless absolutely necessary.
Write unit and integration tests for Akka.NET actors using modern Akka.Hosting.TestKit patterns. Covers dependency injection, TestProbes, persistence testing, and actor interaction verification. Includes guidance on when to use traditional TestKit.
Optimize Entity Framework Core queries by fixing N+1 problems, choosing correct tracking modes, using compiled queries, and avoiding common performance traps. Use when EF Core queries are slow, generating excessive SQL, or causing high database load.
