property-patterns skillA

property-patterns is agent-read markdown (skill) from dotnet/skills: MSBuild property definition patterns: conditional defaults, composition/concatenation, path normalization, trailing-slash handling, TFM detection helpers, and evaluation order. USE FOR: diagnosing and fixing property definition issues and shared-property anti-patterns in .props/.csproj; DefineConstants or NoWarn overwritten instead of appended; unconditional assignments that block project-level overrides; unquoted conditions that fail on empty properties; hardcoded paths that break cross-platfor.

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.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add dotnet/skills/property-patterns@git:20260716.9c7436b
Exact content
mdr add dotnet/skills/property-patterns@sha256:d20ac0adca21952f

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
