Convert .NET test projects from xUnit.net v2 or v3 to MSTest v4. Use for replacing xunit packages, [Fact]/[Theory], xUnit assertions, fixtures, ITestOutputHelper, traits, skips, and xUnit parallelization with MSTest equivalents while preserving the current VSTest or MTP runner. DO NOT USE FOR: xUnit v2 to v3 upgrades, MSTest version upgrades, migrations from NUnit/TUnit, or runner-only VSTest to MTP migrations.

Validates custom dotnet new templates for correctness before publishing. Catches missing fields, parameter bugs, shortName conflicts, constraint issues, and common authoring mistakes that cause templates to fail silently. USE FOR: checking template.json files for errors before publishing or testing, diagnosing why a template doesn't appear after installation, reviewing template parameter definitions for type mismatches and missing defaults, finding shortName conflicts with dotnet CLI commands, validating post-action and constraint configuration. DO NOT USE FOR: finding or using existing templates (use template-discovery), creating projects from templates (use template-instantiation), creating templates from existing projects (use template-authoring).

Compares two or more dotnet new templates side by side to help users choose between them based on parameters, feature support, frameworks, and classifications. USE FOR: deciding between similar templates (webapi vs webapp, blazor vs blazorwasm, console vs worker), producing a side-by-side comparison of parameters and feature support, understanding how templates differ before creating a project. DO NOT USE FOR: creating a project from a template (use template-instantiation), authoring or validating custom templates (use template-authoring and template-validation), general single-template discovery (use template-discovery).

Canonical patterns for writing custom MSBuild targets. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing custom target authoring anti-patterns; broken SDK target chains across files (e.g., Directory.Build.targets silently redefining SDK targets); targets that replace CompileDependsOn instead of extending it with $(CompileDependsOn); query targets returning stale results from Outputs vs Returns misuse; missing Inputs/Outputs causing unnecessary rebuilds; missing FileWrites registration. Covers DependsOnTargets vs BeforeTargets vs AfterTargets, the Build→CoreBuild three-level pattern, and the $(XxxDependsOn) chain-extension pattern. DO NOT USE FOR: incremental build tuning (use incremental-build), parallelization (use build-parallelism), general anti-patterns (use msbuild-antipatterns), non-MSBuild build systems.

Guide for using MSBuild Server to improve CLI build performance. Activate when developers report slow incremental builds from the command line, or when CLI builds are noticeably slower than IDE builds. Covers MSBUILDUSESERVER=1 environment variable for persistent server-based caching. Do not activate for IDE-based builds (Visual Studio already uses a long-lived process).

Use this skill to bring any vision model from HuggingFace or NVIDIA NGC into an NVIDIA DeepStream pipeline with end-to-end automation: ONNX download, SafeTensors export, TRT engine build, custom nvinfer bbox parser, multi-stream benchmark, and PDF report. Object detection models only.

Guide for interpreting ResolveProjectReferences time in MSBuild performance summaries. Activate when ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target and developers are trying to optimize it directly. Explains that the reported time includes wait time for dependent project builds and is misleading. Guides users to focus on task self-time instead. Do not activate for general build performance -- use build-perf-diagnostics instead.

Guide for writing effective code documentation, including docstrings, JSDoc, dartdoc, and implementation comments. Use this skill when writing new code, adding features, or improving existing documentation in Dart, Python, or TypeScript to ensure clarity and maintainability.

Use when an AI agent needs a temporary/disposable email address — for receiving verification emails, testing email integrations, or any task requiring a temporary inbox via the moemail CLI

Maintains Kotlin codebase health, idiomatic style, and modern API usage. Use this skill to fix code smells, update deprecated APIs, resolve outdated TODOs, apply Kotlin scope functions, flatten deeply nested logic, and resolve lint or detekt warnings.

Removes app bloat, secures data, and ensures failures are visible. Use this skill to safely eliminate dead code or unused resources, secure vulnerabilities like hardcoded API keys, fix silent exceptions (empty catch blocks), convert heavy assets to WebP, and ensure logs do not contain PII.

Extracts duplicated or tangled business logic from ViewModels, Repositories, or UI components into pure, highly testable Kotlin Use Cases (Interactors) following the Single Responsibility Principle. Use this skill to decouple Android dependencies from business rules, create domain-layer interactors, or reduce ViewModel bloat.

Automate and interact with web pages through Chrome or Chromium using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP): navigate, click, fill forms, inspect content, take screenshots, and debug console or network activity. Use when an agent needs a real browser. Prefer headless Chrome unless visible browser interaction is required.

Override built-in Markstream node renderers and add trusted custom tags across Vue, React, Svelte, and Angular. Use when Codex needs scoped `setCustomComponents`, renderer-local React `streamingComponents` or `htmlComponents`, Angular/Svelte `customComponents`, Vue app-scoped components, node override keys such as `image`, `code_block`, `mermaid`, or `link`, or nested renderers for tags such as `thinking`.

Guide for performing the DirectX Tool Kit for DirectX 11 release process. Use this skill when asked to help with releasing a new version, publishing packages, or updating ports.

Guide for implementing Shell-based navigation in .NET MAUI apps. Covers AppShell setup, visual hierarchy (FlyoutItem, TabBar, Tab, ShellContent), URI-based navigation with GoToAsync, route registration, query parameters, back navigation, flyout and tab configuration, navigation events, and navigation guards. Use when: setting up Shell navigation, adding tabs or flyout menus, navigating between pages with GoToAsync, passing parameters between pages, registering routes, customizing back button behavior, or guarding navigation with confirmation dialogs. Do not use for: deep linking from external URLs (see .NET MAUI deep linking documentation), data binding on pages (use maui-data-binding), dependency injection setup (use maui-dependency-injection), or NavigationPage-only apps that don't use Shell.

Audits .NET test mock usage by tracing each mock setup through the production code's execution path to find dead, unreachable, redundant, or replaceable mocks. Use when the user asks to audit mock usage, find unused or unnecessary mock setups, check if mocks are needed, reduce mock duplication or over-mocking, simplify test setup, or review whether mock configurations like ILogger/IOptions should use real implementations instead. Supports Moq, NSubstitute, and FakeItEasy.

Activate this skill when BenchmarkDotNet (BDN) is involved in the task — creating, running, configuring, or reviewing BDN benchmarks. Also activate when microbenchmarking .NET code would be useful and BenchmarkDotNet is the likely tool. Consider activating when answering a .NET performance question requires measurement and BenchmarkDotNet may be needed. Covers microbenchmark design, BDN configuration and project setup, how to run BDN microbenchmarks efficiently and effectively, and using BDN for side-by-side performance comparisons. Do NOT use for profiling/tracing .NET code (dotnet-trace, PerfView), production telemetry, or load/stress testing (Crank, k6).

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.

Symbolicate the .NET runtime frames in an Android tombstone file. Extracts BuildIds and PC offsets from the native backtrace, downloads debug symbols from the Microsoft symbol server, and runs llvm-symbolizer to produce function names with source file and line numbers. USE FOR triaging a .NET MAUI or Mono Android app crash from a tombstone, resolving native backtrace frames in libmonosgen-2.0.so or libcoreclr.so to .NET runtime source code, or investigating SIGABRT, SIGSEGV, or other native signals originating from the .NET runtime on Android. DO NOT USE FOR pure Java/Kotlin crashes, managed .NET exceptions that are already captured in logcat, or iOS crash logs. INVOKES Symbolicate-Tombstone.ps1 script, llvm-symbolizer, Microsoft symbol server.
