Description
dotnet-upgrade is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection, a set of prompts for analyzing, planning and carrying out a .NET framework upgrade across a multi-project solution. The prompts cover the whole upgrade lifecycle. Project discovery and assessment classifies every project as .NET Framework, .NET Core or .NET Standard, reads each project file for its target framework and SDK use, reviews external and internal dependencies for compatibility, and flags legacy packages.config projects that need moving to the PackageReference format. Upgrade strategy and sequencing recommends an order that starts with the least dependent components, so class libraries are upgraded before the APIs and Azure Functions that use them, and proposes an incremental plan with rollback checkpoints, weighing whether to use the Upgrade Assistant or manual changes. Progress tracking produces a checklist covering build, test and deployment readiness for every project. The skill also covers code modernization and breaking change detection. It is useful for teams with a large solution that cannot be upgraded in one step. The plan is only a proposal, so the team should confirm the order and the checkpoints against its own release schedule, and each step should be built and tested before the next begins. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 11.3K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
