Provides guidance on the new System.Diagnostics.Process APIs introduced in .NET 11: Process.Run, Process.RunAndCaptureText, Process.StartAndForget, Process.ReadAllText/Bytes/Lines, KillOnParentExit, InheritedHandles, and StartDetached. USE FOR: starting, orchestrating, or capturing output from external processes in applications targeting net11.0 or later. DO NOT USE FOR: applications targeting .NET 10 or earlier, or basic pre-.NET 11 Process.Start usage without new APIs.
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
# Process API Improvements — .NET 11 New APIs added to `System.Diagnostics.Process` in .NET 11 simplify process management, eliminate boilerplate, and prevent common deadlock patterns when capturing output in .NET 11 or later applications. ## When to Use - Running or orchestrating external processes in a .NET 11 (or later) project. - Needing to start a process, wait for it to exit, and capture its output/error streams without risking deadlocks (`Process.RunAndCaptureText[Async]`). - Wanting to ensure child processes are automatically terminated when the parent process exits (`KillOnParentExit`). - Requiring lightweight, low-overhead process creation via `SafeProcessHandle` on supported platforms. - Requiring fine-grained control over handle inheritance (`InheritedHandles`) or starting detached processes (`StartDetached`). ## When Not to Use - The project targets .NET 10 or earlier — these APIs are not available before .NET 11. - The default `Process.Start()` is sufficient and does not require output capturing or advanced lifecycle rules. ## Target Framework ```xml <TargetFramework>net11.0</TargetFramework> ``` ## New APIs ### Types …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/process-api-net11@sha256:66f79536a3d80372The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.58ce0e2, 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.
