Description
dotnet-core-expert is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection that helps a coding agent build .NET 8 applications, including minimal APIs, clean architecture layers, cloud-native microservices, Entity Framework Core and CQRS. Its workflow is shown as five steps. The agent analyses requirements to identify the architecture pattern, data models and API design; designs the solution with clean architecture layers; implements the code with modern C# features and runs dotnet build, fixing errors until it compiles; adds authentication, authorisation and security practices; and tests with xUnit and integration tests, running dotnet test and checking endpoints with curl or a REST client, diagnosing and fixing failures before continuing. The skill makes build and test runs part of the loop, so the agent does not stop at code that has not been compiled. It is useful for developers building .NET services who want a structured process. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as failing, which the FAQ lists, while Socket and Snyk pass. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/jeffallan/claude-skills --skill dotnet-core-expert.…
