dotnet-upgrade skillA

dotnet-upgrade is agent-read markdown (skill) from akunzai/agent-skills: Upgrade a .NET codebase to a newer .NET: .NET Framework 4.x to modern .NET, an out-of-support netcoreapp/net5+ to the current LTS, or netstandard libraries that only pretend to be portable. Use to assess, plan, execute, or resume a long-running upgrade while product work keeps shipping on the main branch..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# .NET Upgrade

A long upgrade outlives any one session and runs beside product work that
keeps landing on trunk. Two ideas carry the whole skill:

- **Trunk-safe**: a change is trunk-safe when the old target's build output
  and runtime behaviour stay the same. Trunk-safe work merges to the main
  branch early, in small requests, so the long-lived upgrade branch only
  holds what cannot coexist with the old app.
- **Cold start**: every session, including one after context compaction,
  begins by reading the upgrade state, never by remembering it.

## Upgrade state

Before anything else, find or create the state surface. Read
[`references/state.md`](references/state.md): it decides where the plan,
decisions, and progress live, and holds the resume protocol. An upgrade
already in progress resumes at the task its state names; skip to Execute.

## 1. Assess (read-only)

Inventory the repository. Done when every `*.csproj`, including the ones
no `*.sln`/`*.slnx`/`*.slnf` builds, has a row with:

- target framework(s), SDK-style or legacy format, project kind (web host,
  API, console, library, test, desktop), and the solutions that build it
…
