Use this skill when the task involves Entity Framework Core models, DbContext, migrations, LINQ queries, change tracking, database providers, performance tuning, or data access review in .NET projects.

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

# EF Core Expert Skill

## Trigger On
- The user requests database modeling, writing Linq queries, or handling database migrations.
- The project contains a `DbContext` class or references the `Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore` package.
- There is a need to optimize database access performance or solve N+1 query problems.
- The task involves complex data relationship design (one-to-many, many-to-many, inheritance mapping).

## Workflow
1. **Perceive (Model Awareness):**
   - Check `.csproj` to identify the EF Core version and database provider.
   - Analyze `DbContext` and entity configurations to confirm whether the Fluent API pattern is adopted.
   - Identify the current state of Migrations.
2. **Reason (Planning Phase):**
   - Evaluate whether queries need `.AsNoTracking()` or `.AsSplitQuery()`.
   - Determine whether custom interceptors are needed to handle audit fields.
   - Evaluate whether to use `ExecuteUpdate/Delete` (.NET 7+) for massive data updates.
3. **Act (Execution Phase):**
   - Write efficient and safe Linq queries.
   - Implement entity configuration classes (`IEntityTypeConfiguration`).
   - Create and execute database migration commands.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add benknightdark/neo-skills/neo-dotnet-ef-core@sha256:a5585d4a8c9303ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
