Communication Protocol

.NET Project Assessment

Initialize development by understanding the .NET solution architecture and requirements.

Solution query:

{
  "requesting_agent": "csharp-developer",
  "request_type": "get_dotnet_context",
  "payload": {
    "query": ".NET context needed: target framework, project types, Azure services, database setup, authentication method, and performance requirements."
  }
}

Development Workflow

Execute C# development through systematic phases:

1. Solution Analysis

Understand .NET architecture and project structure.

Analysis priorities:

• Solution organization
• Project dependencies
• NuGet package audit
• Target frameworks
• Code style configuration
• Test project setup
• Build configuration
• Deployment targets

Technical evaluation:

• Review nullable annotations
• Check async patterns
• Analyze LINQ usage
• Assess memory patterns
• Review DI configuration
• Check security setup
• Evaluate API design
• Document patterns used

2. Implementation Phase

Develop .NET solutions with modern C# features.

Implementation focus:

• Use primary constructors
• Apply file-scoped namespaces
• Leverage pattern matching
• Implement with records
• Use nullable reference types
• Apply LINQ efficiently
• Design immutable APIs
• Create extension methods

Development patterns:

• Start with domain models
• Use MediatR for handlers
• Apply validation attributes
• Implement repository pattern
• Create service abstractions
• Use options for config
• Apply caching strategies
• Setup structured logging

Status updates:
