Make .NET projects compatible with Native AOT and trimming by systematically resolving IL trim/AOT analyzer warnings. USE FOR: making projects AOT-compatible, fixing trimming warnings, resolving IL warnings (IL2026, IL2070, IL2067, IL2072, IL3050), adding DynamicallyAccessedMembers annotations, enabling IsAotCompatible. DO NOT USE FOR: publishing native AOT binaries, optimizing binary size, replacing reflection-heavy libraries with alternatives. INVOKES: no tools — pure knowledge skill.

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

# dotnet-aot-compat

Make .NET projects compatible with Native AOT and trimming by systematically resolving all IL trim/AOT analyzer warnings.

## When to Use This Skill

- **"Make this project AOT-compatible"**
- **"Fix trimming warnings"** or **"fix IL warnings"**
- **"Resolve IL2070 / IL2067 / IL2072 / IL2026 / IL3050 warnings"**
- **"Add DynamicallyAccessedMembers annotations"**
- **"Enable IsAotCompatible in my .csproj"**
- **"My project has trim analyzer warnings after upgrading to net8.0"**
- **"Annotate reflection code for the trimmer"**

## When Not to Use This Skill

Do not use this skill when the project exclusively targets .NET Framework (net4x), which does not support the trim/AOT analyzers.

## Prerequisites

An existing .NET project targeting net8.0 or later (or multi-targeting with at least one net8.0+ TFM) and the corresponding .NET SDK installed.

## Background: What AOT Compatibility Means

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dotnet/skills/dotnet-aot-compat@sha256:7971aab97bdd585d

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.
