Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, cursor.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# C# Documentation Best Practices - Public members should be documented with XML comments. - It is encouraged to document internal members as well, especially if they are complex or not self-explanatory. ## Guidance for all APIs - Use `<summary>` to provide a brief, one sentence, description of what the type or member does. Start the summary with a present-tense, third-person verb. - Use `<remarks>` for additional information, which can include implementation details, usage notes, or any other relevant context. - Use `<see langword>` for language-specific keywords like `null`, `true`, `false`, `int`, `bool`, etc. - Use `<c>` for inline code snippets. - Use `<example>` for usage examples on how to use the member. - Use `<code>` for code blocks. `<code>` tags should be placed within an `<example>` tag. Add the language of the code example using the `language` attribute, for example, `<code language="csharp">`. - Use `<see cref>` to reference other types or members inline (in a sentence). - Use `<seealso>` for standalone (not in a sentence) references to other types or members in the "See also" section of the online docs. - Use `<inheritdoc/>` to inherit documentation from base classe

What does the csharp-docs skill do?
Ensure that C# types are documented with XML comments and follow best practices for documentation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill csharp-docs --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
