Guide for implementing Shell-based navigation in .NET MAUI apps. Covers AppShell setup, visual hierarchy (FlyoutItem, TabBar, Tab, ShellContent), URI-based navigation with GoToAsync, route registration, query parameters, back navigation, flyout and tab configuration, navigation events, and navigation guards. Use when: setting up Shell navigation, adding tabs or flyout menus, navigating between pages with GoToAsync, passing parameters between pages, registering routes, customizing back button…
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 MAUI Shell Navigation Implement page navigation in .NET MAUI apps using Shell. Shell provides URI-based navigation, a flyout menu, tab bars, and a four-level visual hierarchy — all configured declaratively in XAML. ## When to Use - Setting up top-level app navigation with tabs or a flyout menu - Navigating between pages programmatically with `GoToAsync` - Passing data between pages via query parameters or object parameters - Registering detail-page routes for push navigation - Guarding navigation with confirmation dialogs (e.g., unsaved changes) - Customizing back button behavior per page ## When Not to Use - Deep linking from external URLs or app links — see [.NET MAUI deep linking docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/app-links) - Data binding on navigation target pages — use `maui-data-binding` - Dependency injection for pages and view models — use `maui-dependency-injection` - Apps using `NavigationPage` without Shell (different navigation API) ## Inputs - A .NET MAUI project with `AppShell.xaml` as the root shell - Pages (`ContentPage`) to navigate between - Route names for detail pages not in the visual hierarchy …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/maui-shell-navigation@sha256:ec498df372554551The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.6d1201c, 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.
