dotnet-core-expert
Use when building .NET 8 applications with minimal APIs, clean architecture, or cloud-native microservices. Invoke for Entity Framework Core, CQRS with MediatR, JWT authentication, AOT compilation.
npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill dotnet-core-expert --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# .NET Core Expert ## Core Workflow 1. **Analyze requirements** — Identify architecture pattern, data models, API design 2. **Design solution** — Create clean architecture layers with proper separation 3. **Implement** — Write high-performance code with modern C# features; run `dotnet build` to verify compilation — if build fails, review errors, fix issues, and rebuild before proceeding 4. **Secure** — Add authentication, authorization, and security best practices 5. **Test** — Write comprehensive tests with xUnit and integration testing; run `dotnet test` to confirm all tests pass — if tests fail, diagnose failures, fix the implementation, and re-run before continuing; verify endpoints with `curl` or a REST client ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | Minimal APIs | `references/minimal-apis.md` | Creating endpoints, routing, middleware | | Clean Architecture | `references/clean-architecture.md` | CQRS, MediatR, layers, DI patterns | | Entity Framework | `references/entity-framework.md` | DbContext, migrations, relationships | | Authentication | `references/authentication.md` | JWT, Identity

What does the dotnet-core-expert skill do?
Use when building .NET 8 applications with minimal APIs, clean architecture, or cloud-native microservices. Invoke for Entity Framework Core, CQRS with MediatR, JWT authentication, AOT compilation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Jeffallan/claude-skills --skill dotnet-core-expert --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 Jeffallan/claude-skills, a repository with 10,871 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.
