SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to quickly write, test, and execute small C# programs as scripts without the overhead of creating a full .NET project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rapid Prototyping: Test C# language features, APIs, or small logic snippets.
  • Experimentation: Quickly validate concepts before integrating them into larger applications.
  • Use Case: You want to try out a new C# feature like pattern matching or test a small algorithm. You can write a single .cs file, run it directly, and get immediate results.

Quick Start

Use the csharp-scripts skill to execute the following C# code: Console.WriteLine("Hello, C# Scripting!");

FAQPage Schema
How do I run C# code snippets without creating a full .NET project?

You can execute single-file C# programs directly as scripts to test logic without creating a full .NET project. This allows rapid experimentation and concept testing using top-level statements.

Can I use NuGet packages when executing C# scripts?

Yes, you can integrate NuGet packages into your C# scripts using the #:package directive. This allows you to include external libraries for testing APIs and validating concepts during rapid prototyping.

What is the best way to prototype and test small C# algorithms?

The best way to prototype is writing a single .cs file and executing it directly as a C# script. This provides immediate results for validating concepts before integrating them into larger applications.

Do I need a specific .NET SDK version to run C# scripts?

The script execution handles .NET SDK version checks and supports Unix shebang for direct execution. If you have an older SDK version, it provides a fallback using temporary console projects to run your code.

Does C# scripting support Unix shebang for direct execution?

Yes, C# scripting supports Unix shebang directives for direct execution of single-file programs. This streamlines the process of running small logic snippets and testing language features from the command line.
