Convert .NET projects and solutions (.sln, .slnx) to NuGet Central Package Management (CPM) using Directory.Packages.props. USE FOR: converting to CPM, centralizing or aligning NuGet package versions across multiple projects, inlining MSBuild version properties from Directory.Build.props into Directory.Packages.props, resolving version conflicts or mismatches across a solution or repository, updating or bumping or syncing package versions across projects. Also activate when packages are out of…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Convert to Central Package Management Centralize package versions in `Directory.Packages.props` while preserving project behavior and producing reviewable before/after evidence. ## Choose a mode first Do this before running builds or changing files. 1. **Guard mode** -- If any in-scope project uses `packages.config`, stop. Explain that CPM requires `PackageReference` and recommend migrating first. Do not create or modify files. 2. **Package-maintenance mode** -- A request to update, align, bump, or sync packages authorizes those package edits, not CPM conversion. Audit the named scope, resolve the requested versions, update existing project/shared version declarations, and restore/build every affected CLI target from the directory that establishes its applicable `global.json`. Ask only when the version or alignment policy is ambiguous. Do not create or modify `Directory.Packages.props`, remove versions for CPM, or capture conversion artifacts. Complete the package work, then recommend CPM as the durable follow-up. 3. **Conversion mode** -- Use only when the user explicitly asks to adopt, enable, or convert to CPM. Follow the workflow below. …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/convert-to-cpm@sha256:f4620f14e8196bceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260814.cac1022, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
