dotnet-backend-patterns from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add wshobson/agents/dotnet-backend-patterns@git:20260307.47a5dbcPins git:20260307.47a5dbc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Master C#/.NET backend development patterns for building robust APIs, MCP servers, and enterprise applications. Covers async/await, dependency injection, Entity Framework Core, Dapper, configuration, caching, and testing with xUnit. Use when developing .NET backends, reviewing C# code, or designing API architectures.
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 Backend Development Patterns Master C#/.NET patterns for building production-grade APIs, MCP servers, and enterprise backends with modern best practices (2024/2025). ## When to Use This Skill - Developing new .NET Web APIs or MCP servers - Reviewing C# code for quality and performance - Designing service architectures with dependency injection - Implementing caching strategies with Redis - Writing unit and integration tests - Optimizing database access with EF Core or Dapper - Configuring applications with IOptions pattern - Handling errors and implementing resilience patterns ## Core Concepts ### 1.

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/dotnet-backend-patterns@sha256:0c5abad798ef47baThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260307.47a5dbc, 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.
