Configure and collect crash dumps for modern .NET applications. USE FOR: enabling automatic crash dumps for CoreCLR or NativeAOT, capturing dumps from running .NET processes, setting up dump collection in Docker or Kubernetes, using dotnet-dump collect or createdump. DO NOT USE FOR: analyzing or debugging dumps, post-mortem investigation with lldb/windbg/dotnet-dump analyze, profiling or tracing, or for .NET Framework processes.

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

# .NET Crash Dump Collection

This skill configures and collects crash dumps for modern .NET applications (CoreCLR and NativeAOT) on Linux, macOS, and Windows — including containers.

## Stop Signals

🚨 **Read before starting any workflow.**

- **Stop after dumps are enabled or collected.** Do not open, analyze, or triage dump files.
- **If the user already has a dump file**, this skill does not cover analysis. Let them know analysis is out of scope.
- **Do not install analysis tools** (dotnet-dump analyze, windbg). Only install collection tools (dotnet-dump collect). Using `lldb` for on-demand dump capture on macOS is allowed — it ships with Xcode command-line tools and is not being used for analysis.
- **Do not trace root cause** of crashes. Report the dump file location and move on.
- **Do not modify application code.** Configuration is environment-only (env vars, OS settings, container specs).

## Step 1 — Identify the Scenario

Ask or determine:

1. **Goal**: Enable automatic crash dumps, or capture a dump from a running process right now?
2. **Platform**: Linux, macOS, or Windows? Running in a container (Docker/Kubernetes)?
3. **Runtime**: CoreCLR or NativeAOT?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dotnet/skills/dump-collect@sha256:d00af814b354faae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260421.05aeb65, 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.
