dotnet-trace-collect from dotnet/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dotnet/skills/dotnet-trace-collect@git:20260421.05aeb65Pins git:20260421.05aeb65 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Guide developers through capturing diagnostic artifacts to diagnose production .NET performance issues. Use when the user needs help choosing diagnostic tools, collecting performance data, or understanding tool trade-offs across different environments (Windows/Linux, .NET Framework/modern .NET, container/non-container).
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 Trace Collect This skill helps developers diagnose production performance issues by recommending the right diagnostic tools for their environment, guiding data collection, and suggesting analysis approaches. It does not analyze code for anti-patterns or perform the analysis itself. ## When to Use - A developer needs to investigate a production performance issue (high CPU, memory leak, slow requests, excessive GC, networking errors, etc.) - Choosing the right diagnostic tool for a specific runtime, OS, or deployment topology - Setting up and running diagnostic tool commands for data collection - Understanding trade-offs between available tools (e.g. PerfView vs dotnet-trace) - Collecting diagnostics from containerized or Kubernetes workloads ## When Not to Use - Reviewing source code for performance anti-patterns (use a code review skill instead) - Benchmarking during development (e.g. BenchmarkDotNet setup) - Analyzing collected trace or dump files (this skill recommends tools for analysis, but does not perform it) ## Inputs | Input | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/dotnet-trace-collect@sha256:a701fd47f61e196bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260421.05aeb65, 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.
