Generate wrapper interfaces and DI registration for hard-to-test static dependencies in C#. Produces IFileSystem, IEnvironmentProvider, IConsole, IProcessRunner wrappers, or guides adoption of TimeProvider and IHttpClientFactory. USE FOR: generate wrapper for static, create IFileSystem wrapper, wrap DateTime.Now, make static testable, make class testable, create abstraction for File.*, generate DI registration, TimeProvider adoption, IHttpClientFactory setup, testability wrapper, mock-friendly interface, mock time in tests, create the right abstraction to mock, how to mock DateTime, test code using File.ReadAllText, what abstraction for Environment, how to make statics injectable, adopt System.IO.Abstractions, make file calls testable. DO NOT USE FOR: detecting statics (use detect-static-dependencies), migrating call sites (use migrate-static-to-wrapper), general interface design not about testability.
Generates comprehensive, workable unit tests for any programming language using a multi-agent pipeline. Use when asked to generate tests, write unit tests, improve test coverage, add test coverage, create test files, or test a codebase. Supports C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, and more. Orchestrates research, planning, and implementation phases to produce tests that compile, pass, and follow project conventions.
Database access patterns for performance. Separate read/write models, avoid N+1 queries, use AsNoTracking, apply row limits, and never do application-side joins. Works with EF Core and Dapper.
Establish build performance baselines and apply systematic optimization techniques. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. Use when diagnosing slow builds, establishing before/after measurements, or applying advanced optimization strategies like MSBuild Server, static graph builds, artifacts output, and dependency graph trimming. Start here before diving into specific optimizations from build-perf-diagnostics, incremental-build, or build-parallelism skills. DO NOT use for non-MSBuild build systems.
Best practices for writing MSTest 3.x/4.x unit tests. Use when the user needs to write, improve, or review MSTest tests, including modern assertions, data-driven tests, test lifecycle, and common anti-patterns. Covers MSTest.Sdk, sealed classes, Assert.Throws, DynamicData with ValueTuples, TestContext, and conditional execution.
Design stable, compatible public APIs using extend-only design principles. Manage API compatibility, wire compatibility, and versioning for NuGet packages and distributed systems.
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.
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.
Enable nullable reference types in a C# project and systematically resolve all warnings. USE FOR: adopting NRTs in existing codebases, file-by-file or project-wide migration, fixing CS8602/CS8618/CS86xx warnings, annotating APIs for nullability, cleaning up null-forgiving operators, upgrading dependencies with new nullable annotations. DO NOT USE FOR: projects already fully migrated with zero warnings (unless auditing suppressions), fixing a handful of nullable warnings in code that already has NRTs enabled, suppressing warnings without fixing them, C# 7.3 or earlier projects. INVOKES: Get-NullableReadiness.ps1 scanner script.
Configure and collect crash dumps for modern .NET applications. USE FOR: enabling automatic crash dumps for CoreCLR or NativeAOT, capturing dumps from running .NET processes, setting up dump collection in Docker or Kubernetes, using dotnet-dump collect or createdump. DO NOT USE FOR: analyzing or debugging dumps, post-mortem investigation with lldb/windbg/dotnet-dump analyze, profiling or tracing, or for .NET Framework processes.
Generate MSBuild binary logs (binlogs) for build diagnostics and analysis. Only activate in MSBuild/.NET build context. USE FOR: adding /bl:{} to any dotnet build, test, pack, publish, or restore command to capture a full build execution trace, prerequisite for binlog-failure-analysis and build-perf-diagnostics skills, enabling post-build investigation of errors or performance. Requires MSBuild 17.8+ / .NET 8 SDK+ for {} placeholder; PowerShell needs -bl:{{}}. DO NOT USE FOR: non-MSBuild build systems (npm, Maven, CMake), analyzing an existing binlog (use binlog-failure-analysis instead). INVOKES: shell commands (dotnet build /bl:{}).
Design, tune, or review EF Core data access with proper modeling, migrations, query translation, performance, and lifetime management for modern .NET applications.
