How do I install the Dotnet Backend Patterns skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add techwavedev/dotnet-backend-patterns in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Dotnet Backend Patterns safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Dotnet Backend Patterns?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Dotnet Backend Patterns free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

.NET Backend Development Patterns

Master C#/.NET patterns for building production-grade APIs, MCP servers, and enterprise backends with modern best practices (2024/2025).

Use this skill when

Developing new .NET Web APIs or MCP servers
Reviewing C# code for quality and performance
Designing service architectures with dependency injection
Implementing caching strategies with Redis
Writing unit and integration tests
Optimizing database access with EF Core or Dapper
Configuring applications with IOptions pattern
Handling errors and implementing resilience patterns

Do not use this skill when

The project is not using .NET or C#
You only need frontend or client guidance
The task is unrelated to backend architecture

Instructions

Define architecture boundaries, modules, and layering.
Apply DI, async patterns, and resilience strategies.
Validate data access performance and caching.
Add tests and observability for critical flows.
If detailed patterns are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed .NET patterns and examples.

AGI Framework Integration

Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior API design decisions, database schema choices, and error handling patterns. Cache API response templates for consistent error formatting.

# Check for prior backend/API context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "API design patterns and architecture decisions for Dotnet Backend Patterns"

Storing Results

After completing work, store backend/API decisions for future sessions:

python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "API architecture: REST with HATEOAS, JWT auth, rate limiting at 100 req/min per tenant" \
  --type decision --project <project> \
  --tags dotnet-backend-patterns backend

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share API contract changes with frontend agents so they update their client code, and with QA agents for test coverage.

python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Implemented API endpoints — 5 new routes with OpenAPI spec and integration tests" \
  --project <project>

Agent Team: Code Review

After implementation, dispatch code_review_team for two-stage review (spec compliance + code quality) before merging.
