managedcode/dotnet-skills 302
dotnet-csharpier Use the open-source free `CSharpier` formatter for C# and XML. Use when a .NET repo intentionally wants one opinionated formatter instead of a highly configurable `dotnet format`-driven style model.
managedcode/dotnet-skills 302
dotnet-eslint Use ESLint in .NET repositories that ship JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or other Node-based frontend assets. Use when a repo needs a configurable CLI lint gate for frontend correctness, import hygiene, unsafe patterns, or framework-specific rules.
managedcode/dotnet-skills 302
dotnet-format Use the free first-party `dotnet format` CLI for .NET formatting and analyzer fixes. Use when a .NET repo needs formatting commands, `--verify-no-changes` CI checks, or `.editorconfig`-driven code style enforcement.
managedcode/dotnet-skills 302
dotnet-graphify-dotnet Use `graphify-dotnet` to generate codebase knowledge graphs, architecture snapshots, and exportable repository maps from .NET or polyglot source trees, with optional AI-enriched semantic relationships.
managedcode/dotnet-skills 302
migrate-mstest-v1v2-to-v3 Migrate MSTest v1 or v2 test project to MSTest v3. Use when user says "upgrade MSTest", "upgrade to MSTest v3", "migrate to MSTest v3", "update test framework", "modernize tests", "MSTest v3 migration", "MSTest compatibility", "MSTest v2 to v3", or build errors after updating MSTest packages from 1.x/2.x to 3.x. USE FOR: upgrading from MSTest v1 assembly references (Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework) or MSTest v2 NuGet (MSTest.TestFramework 1.x-2.x) to MSTest v3, fixing assertion overload errors (AreEqual/AreNotEqual), updating DataRow constructors, replacing .testsettings with .runsettings, timeout behavior changes, target framework compatibility (.NET 5 dropped -- use .NET 6+; .NET Fx older than 4.6.2 dropped), adopting MSTest.Sdk. First step toward MSTest v4 -- after this, use migrate-mstest-v3-to-v4. DO NOT USE FOR: migrating to MSTest v4 (use migrate-mstest-v3-to-v4), migrating between frameworks (MSTest to xUnit/NUnit), or general .NET upgrades unrelated to MSTest.
