Dotnet Workload

Use when working on any .NET workload concern — BDD/Reqnroll testing, immutable domain modeling, flaky test diagnosis, BackgroundService/IHostedService review or testing, [LoggerMessage] log-line design, MCP servers in .NET, SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite, System.CommandLine CLI parsing, .NET tool/NuGet publishing, or an observability/instrumentation review — and you must pick which specialized dotnet skill covers it. This gateway routes; read manifest.json to choose a member and open that member's SKILL.md for the deep guidance.

File contents

dotnet-workload

One registered entry point for eleven specialized .NET skills. The members are not registered skills — they live one nesting level below registration, where agents never look on their own. This file is the router; manifest.json is the machine-readable map.

How to route

Match the task against the table below (or the member triggers in manifest.json, which carry the same keywords).
Open exactly one member's SKILL.md — manifest.json gives each member's paths.skill.
Do the work from the member. If no member matches, say so; do not improvise from this page.

Member	Open it when
dotnet-bdd-testing	Use when adding Gherkin `.feature` files or a BDD runner (Reqnroll) to a .NET project.
dotnet-domain-modeling	Use when modeling immutable C# domain layers: sealed records, guards, state transitions.
dotnet-flaky-test-diagnosis	Use when a .NET test fails in the full suite but passes alone, or flakes intermittently.
dotnet-hosted-service-review	Use when reviewing a PR that adds or modifies a .NET BackgroundService/IHostedService.
dotnet-hosted-service-testing	Use when writing or reviewing .NET BackgroundService tests with FakeTimeProvider.
dotnet-logger-message-design	Use when designing or testing [LoggerMessage] log lines in .NET.
dotnet-mcp-server	Use when adding MCP tools or servers to a .NET project.
dotnet-sqlcipher-encryption	Use when working with SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite in .NET.
dotnet-system-commandline	Use when adding CLI argument parsing to a .NET app or dotnet tool.
dotnet-tool-publishing	Use when packaging or publishing a .NET CLI tool or library to NuGet.
observability-contract-review	Use when reviewing claims that all calls are instrumented.

Each row names its member's SKILL.md under references/ — open one only when its "Use when" column matches the task, so a single member loads instead of all eleven.
