Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/mhagrelius/dotfiles --skill dotnet-10-csharp-14
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads dotnet-10-csharp-14 automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

.NET 10 & C# 14 Best Practices

.NET 10 (LTS, Nov 2025) with C# 14. Covers minimal APIs, not MVC.

Decision Flowcharts

Result vs Exception

digraph {
    "Error type?" [shape=diamond];
    "Expected?" [shape=diamond];
    "Result<T>/ErrorOr" [shape=box];
    "Exception" [shape=box];
    "Error type?" -> "Expected?" [label="domain"];
    "Error type?" -> "Exception" [label="infrastructure"];
    "Expected?" -> "Result<T>/ErrorOr" [label="yes"];
    "Expected?" -> "Exception" [label="no"];
}

IOptions Selection

digraph {
    "Runtime changes?" [shape=diamond];
    "Per-request?" [shape=diamond];
    "IOptions<T>" [shape=box];
    "IOptionsSnapshot<T>" [shape=box];

    "Can drop?" [shape=diamond];
    "Bounded+Wait" [shape=box,style=filled,fillcolor=lightgreen];

Key Patterns Summary

C# 14 Extension Blocks

extension<T>(IEnumerable<T> source)
{
    public bool IsEmpty => !source.Any();
}

.NET 10 Built-in Validation

builder.Services.AddValidation();
app.MapPost("/users", (UserDto dto) => TypedResults.Ok(dto));

TypedResults (Always Use)

app.MapGet("/users/{id}", async (int id, IUserService svc) =>
    await svc.GetAsync(id) is { } user
        ? TypedResults.Ok(user)
        : TypedResults.NotFound());

Module Pattern

public static class UsersModule
{
    public static IServiceCollection AddUsersModule(this IServiceCollection s) => s
        .AddScoped<IUserService, UserService>();

    public static IEndpointRouteBuilder MapUsersEndpoints(this IEndpointRouteBuilder app)
    {
        var g = app.MapGroup("/api/users").WithTags("Users");
        g.MapGet("/{id}", GetUser.Handle);
        return app;
    }
}

HTTP Resilience

builder.Services.AddHttpClient<IApi, ApiClient>()
    .AddStandardResilienceHandler();

Error Handling (RFC 9457)

builder.Services.AddProblemDetails();
app.UseExceptionHandler();
app.UseStatusCodePages();

MANDATORY Patterns (Always Use These)

Task✅ ALWAYS Use❌ NEVER Use
Extension membersC# 14 extension<T>() blocksTraditional this extension methods
Property validationC# 14 field keywordManual backing fields
Null assignmentobj?.Prop = valueif (obj != null) obj.Prop = value
API returnsTypedResults.Ok()Results.Ok()

find-skills

vercel-labs/skills

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Guides Microsoft Entra ID app registration, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and MSAL integration. USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

embedded-captions

heygen-com/hyperframes

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.

Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres: Auth, Object Storage, Functions, the AI Gateway, and Realtime. Start here to choose Neon for undecided login, files, APIs, and LLM calls, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when building an app or backend on Neon, or when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned. Child skill neon-postgres wins for an existing DATABASEURL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. Child skill neon-auth wins for login, users, sessions, identity routing, and Managed Better Auth setup. Child skill neon-realtime wins for live queries in reactive apps and agents. Also use for object storage, S3, buckets, serverless functions, function triggers, cron, AI gateway, LLM calls, realtime, logs, Loki, Grafana, observability, postgres, database, backend, Claimable Neon, neon.new, or a no-signup database.
