SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The dotnet-upgrade skill helps you reduce risk and uncertainty when moving a .NET solution to a newer framework by turning upgrade planning and execution into a structured, repeatable process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project discovery & classification: Identifies what must change across projects, targeting, and dependency structure.
  • Dependency and compatibility analysis: Assesses NuGet/package and API compatibility to surface breaking-change hotspots early.
  • Upgrade sequencing and rollback planning: Builds an execution order with validation gates so you can recover if issues appear.
  • CI/CD, testing, and deployment validation: Plans pipeline updates and ensures testing and release checks are aligned to the upgrade.
  • Stakeholder-ready documentation: Produces communication and release readiness guidance for teams managing approvals and rollout.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to produce a comprehensive .NET framework upgrade plan for your repository, including dependency compatibility, sequencing, breaking-change analysis, rollback strategy, and CI/CD plus test validation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-upgrade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a .NET framework upgrade across a multi-project solution?▼

A .NET framework upgrade requires project discovery, dependency compatibility analysis, and breaking-change identification. The process produces an execution order with validation gates and rollback planning to safely modernize multi-project solutions.

What is the best way to identify breaking changes and NuGet dependency compatibility before upgrading .NET?▼

Identifying breaking changes requires assessing NuGet package and API compatibility across your solution. This analysis surfaces dependency conflict hotspots early, allowing you to document execution strategies and resolve compatibility issues before deployment.

How do I create a rollback strategy for a .NET upgrade with CI/CD pipeline updates?▼

A rollback strategy for a .NET upgrade integrates CI/CD pipeline updates with testing and deployment validation checkpoints. This approach builds an execution sequence with recovery gates, ensuring you can safely revert if release validation identifies issues.

Can I use this approach to generate stakeholder-ready documentation for .NET release readiness?▼

Yes, this .NET upgrade approach produces stakeholder-ready documentation for release readiness. It generates communication guidance and validation checkpoints aligned with CI/CD updates, helping teams manage approvals and structured rollout across multi-project solutions.

What are the limitations of planning a .NET upgrade without dependency and compatibility analysis?▼

Without dependency and compatibility analysis, a .NET upgrade risks undocumented breaking changes and failed validation gates. Bypassing structured sequencing and rollback planning increases uncertainty and makes recovery difficult if CI/CD pipeline updates encounter issues.
