Overview

ASP.NET Core APIs, data access, backend services, security, and cloud-native patterns. This consolidated skill spans 32 topic areas. Load the appropriate companion file from

references/

based on the routing table below.

Baseline dependency:

references/minimal-apis.md

defines the core ASP.NET Core Minimal API patterns (route groups, endpoint filters, TypedResults, parameter binding) that apply to most API development tasks. Load it by default when building HTTP endpoints.

Most-shared companion:

references/architecture-patterns.md

covers vertical slices, request pipelines, error handling, caching, and idempotency patterns used across nearly all ASP.NET Core projects.
