This Skill provides guidance to generate a .NET Web API project with a Clean Architecture structure, establishing separation of concerns across domain, application, and infrastructure layers for scalable C# backend development.

Use Dapper instead of EF Core for lightweight, high-performance read queries in .NET. This Skill provides code examples for both Dapper and EF Core to help you implement efficient data persistence tailored to your query complexity.

Dependency injection in C# supplies objects with their dependencies rather than having them construct the objects internally. This Skill provides practical examples to configure DI, decoupling .NET backend components for easier testing and maintenance.

The best way to configure .NET settings with IOptions is binding strongly-typed classes to appsettings.json files. This Skill demonstrates configuration management using IOptions to validate and inject settings directly into your C# backend services.

You can use xUnit for both unit and integration testing in a .NET backend. This Skill guides you through writing effective tests using xUnit to verify C# code, async/await operations, and API endpoints across different testing scenarios.

Implement Redis caching in an ASP.NET Core API by configuring distributed cache services to store frequently accessed data. This Skill provides code examples for integrating Redis to reduce database load and improve .NET backend response times.
