Guides creation and modification of ASP.NET Core Web API endpoints with correct HTTP semantics, OpenAPI metadata, and error handling. USE FOR: adding new API endpoints (controllers or minimal APIs), wiring up OpenAPI/Swagger, creating .http test files, setting up global error handling middleware. DO NOT USE FOR: general C# coding style, EF Core data access or query optimization (use optimizing-ef-core-queries), frontend/Blazor work, gRPC services, or SignalR hubs.
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
# ASP.NET Core Web API Produce well-structured ASP.NET Core Web API endpoints with proper HTTP semantics, OpenAPI documentation, and error handling. ## When to Use Use this skill when working on ASP.NET Core HTTP APIs, including: - adding or modifying Web API endpoints implemented with controllers or minimal APIs; - wiring up OpenAPI/Swagger metadata and endpoint documentation; - defining request/response DTOs and consistent HTTP status code behavior; - adding `.http` files or similar request-based API testing artifacts; - configuring centralized API error handling middleware or exception mapping. ## When Not to Use Do not use this skill for: - general C# coding style or non-API refactoring; - EF Core data modeling or query optimization work; use `optimizing-ef-core-queries`; - frontend, Razor, or Blazor UI changes; - gRPC services; - SignalR hubs or real-time messaging flows. ## Inputs / prerequisites Before applying this skill, gather the project context needed to match the existing API style and wiring: - the ASP.NET Core entry point, typically `Program.cs`; - any existing controllers, especially classes inheriting `ControllerBase` or using `[ApiController]`; …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/dotnet-webapi@sha256:70e10d74aa367ee6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.2d163bb, 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.
