Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install dotnet/skills?▼

Run `npx skills add dotnet/skills --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all .NET skill plugins globally for your AI agent.

What can .NET agent skills do?▼

They guide AI agents through real .NET tasks: diagnosing slow MSBuild builds, migrating between .NET versions, writing Blazor and Web API code, fixing EF Core performance, and analyzing crash dumps.

Do these skills work with Claude Code and Copilot CLI?▼

Yes. The plugins follow the open agentskills.io standard and install via plugin marketplaces in Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Cursor, VS Code, and Codex CLI.

Can AI agents migrate my project to a newer .NET version?▼

Yes. The dotnet-upgrade plugin walks agents through version-to-version migrations, resolving every breaking change in the compiler, runtime, ASP.NET Core, and EF Core.

How do agents diagnose slow .NET builds?▼

The dotnet-msbuild plugin teaches agents to capture binary logs, find bottlenecks like slow analyzers or broken incremental builds, and apply targeted fixes.
