Guidelines for .NET backend development with C#, ASP.NET Core, and Entity Framework Core.

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 Development Guidelines

You are an expert in .NET backend development with deep knowledge of C#, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and modern .NET practices.

## Code Style and Structure

- Write concise, idiomatic C# code with accurate examples
- Follow .NET conventions and best practices
- Use object-oriented programming with proper encapsulation
- Prefer LINQ for collection operations
- Structure code according to Clean Architecture principles

## Project Structure

```
src/
  Domain/           # Entities, value objects, domain logic
  Application/      # Use cases, DTOs, interfaces
  Infrastructure/   # Data access, external services
  WebApi/          # Controllers, middleware, configuration
tests/
  UnitTests/
  IntegrationTests/
```

## RESTful API Design

- Use proper HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
- Return appropriate status codes
- Use plural nouns for resource endpoints
- Implement proper pagination for collections
- Use query parameters for filtering and sorting
- Version APIs (URL path or header)

```csharp
[ApiController]
[Route("api/v1/[controller]")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mindrally/skills/dotnet@sha256:50f00e1403bfab01

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, 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.
