Windows Workflow Foundation
Trigger On
- working on WF activities, workflows, or designer-backed process logic
- reviewing long-lived workflow state and persistence behavior
- assessing whether to keep, isolate, or replace Workflow Foundation
Workflow
- Treat WF as legacy infrastructure and start by understanding what workflow behavior is still business-critical before proposing replacement.
- Separate workflow host concerns, activity logic, persistence, and integration points so risk is visible.
- Avoid half-migrations that leave workflow state and business rules split across two orchestration systems without ownership.
- If replacement is needed, define explicit equivalence for triggers, compensation, persistence, and audit expectations.
- Stabilize current behavior with targeted tests or scenario captures before changing designer-driven artifacts.
- Validate with representative long-running and failure scenarios, not just a single successful execution path.
Deliver
- practical maintenance or migration guidance for WF
- clear boundaries around host, workflow, and persistence responsibilities
- risk-aware change plans for legacy process logic
Validate
- business-critical workflow behavior is identified before change
- migration work preserves state and audit expectations
- designer artifacts are treated carefully

Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
dotnet-project-setup
Create or reorganize .NET solutions with clean project boundaries, repeatable SDK settings, and a maintainable baseline for libraries, apps, tests, CI, and local development.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
csharp-scripts
Run single-file C# programs as scripts (file-based apps) for quick experimentation, prototyping, and concept testing. Use when the user wants to write and execute a small C# program without creating a full project.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
dotnet-pinvoke
Correctly call native (C/C++) libraries from .NET using P/Invoke and LibraryImport. Covers function signatures, string marshalling, memory lifetime, SafeHandle, and cross-platform patterns. USE FOR: writing new P/Invoke or LibraryImport declarations, reviewing or debugging existing native interop code, wrapping a C or C++ library for use in .NET, diagnosing crashes, memory leaks, or corruption at the managed/native boundary. DO NOT USE FOR: COM interop, C++/CLI mixed-mode assemblies, or pure managed code with no native dependencies.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
nuget-trusted-publishing
Set up NuGet trusted publishing (OIDC) on a GitHub Actions repo — replaces long-lived API keys with short-lived tokens. USE FOR: trusted publishing, NuGet OIDC, keyless NuGet publish, migrate from NuGet API key, NuGet/login, secure NuGet publishing. DO NOT USE FOR: publishing to private feeds or Azure Artifacts (OIDC is nuget.org only). INVOKES: shell (powershell or bash), edit, create, ask_user for guided repo setup.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
dotnet-legacy-aspnet
Maintain classic ASP.NET applications on .NET Framework, including Web Forms, older MVC, and legacy hosting patterns, while planning realistic modernization boundaries.
managedcode/dotnet-skills
dotnet-code-review
Review .NET changes for bugs, regressions, architectural drift, missing tests, incorrect async or disposal behavior, and platform-specific pitfalls before you approve or merge them.
