maui-shell-navigation
Guide for implementing Shell-based navigation in .NET MAUI apps.

code-testing-agent
Generates comprehensive, workable unit tests for any programming language using a multi-agent pipeline.

coverage-analysis
Automated, project-wide code coverage and CRAP (Change Risk Anti-Patterns) score analysis for .NET projects with existing unit tests. Auto-detects solution structure, runs coverage collection via `dotnet test` (supports both Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage and Coverlet), generates reports via ReportGenerator, calculates CRAP scores per method, and surfaces risk hotspots — complex code with low test coverage that is dangerous to modify. Use when the user wants project-wide coverage analysis with risk prioritization, coverage gap identification, CRAP score computation across an entire solution, or to diagnose why coverage is stuck or plateaued and identify what methods are blocking improvement. DO NOT USE FOR: targeted single-method CRAP analysis (use crap-score skill), writing tests, general test execution unrelated to coverage/CRAP analysis, or coverage reporting without CRAP context.

-
exp-test-gap-analysis
Performs pseudo-mutation analysis on .NET production code to find gaps in existing test suites. Use when the user asks to find weak tests, discover untested edge cases, check if tests would catch a bug, or evaluate test effectiveness through mutation-style reasoning. Analyzes production code for mutation points (boundary conditions, boolean flips, null returns, exception removal, arithmetic changes) and checks whether existing tests would detect each mutation. Works with MSTest, xUnit, NUnit, and TUnit. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use writing-mstest-tests), detecting test anti-patterns (use test-anti-patterns), measuring assertion diversity (use exp-assertion-quality), or running actual mutation testing tools.

configuring-opentelemetry-dotnet
Configure OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, metrics, and logging in ASP.NET Core using the .NET OpenTelemetry SDK. Use when adding observability, setting up OTLP exporters, creating custom metrics/spans, or troubleshooting distributed trace correlation.

-
exp-mock-usage-analysis
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.

exp-dotnet-test-frameworks
Reference data for .NET test framework detection patterns, assertion APIs, skip annotations, setup/teardown methods, and common test smell indicators across MSTest, xUnit, NUnit, and TUnit. DO NOT USE directly — loaded by test analysis skills (exp-test-smell-detection, exp-assertion-quality, exp-test-maintainability, exp-test-tagging) when they need framework-specific lookup tables.

-
exp-assertion-quality
Analyzes the variety and depth of assertions across .NET test suites. Use when the user asks to evaluate assertion quality, find shallow testing, identify tests with only trivial assertions, measure assertion coverage diversity, or audit whether tests verify different facets of correctness. Produces metrics and actionable recommendations. Works with MSTest, xUnit, NUnit, and TUnit. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use writing-mstest-tests), detecting anti-patterns (use test-anti-patterns), or fixing existing assertions.
