Agent skill

dotnet-managedcode-communication

SKILL.md

ManagedCode.Communication

Trigger On

  • integrating ManagedCode.Communication into services or APIs
  • replacing exception-driven result handling with explicit results
  • reviewing service boundaries that return success or failure payloads
  • documenting result-pattern usage across ASP.NET Core or application services

Workflow

  1. Confirm the boundary where the library belongs:
    • service result contracts
    • application manager boundaries
    • API endpoints that translate results into HTTP responses
  2. Keep result creation and error mapping explicit instead of mixing exceptions, nulls, and ad-hoc tuples.
  3. Pattern-match result objects at the boundary that converts them into user-facing responses.
  4. Do not hide domain failures behind generic success wrappers.
  5. Validate positive, negative, and error-path handling after integration.

Deliver

  • guidance on where explicit result objects improve clarity
  • usage boundaries for translating results into API or caller responses
  • validation expectations for success and failure flows

Validate

  • result handling is consistent across the boundary that uses the library
  • callers do not fall back to exception-only logic for normal failure cases
  • negative and error scenarios are documented and tested

dotnet-pinvoke

Correctly call native (C/C++) libraries from .NET using P/Invoke and LibraryImport. Covers function signatures, string marshalling, memory lifetime, SafeHandle, and cross-platform patterns. USE FOR: writing new P/Invoke or LibraryImport declarations, reviewing or debugging existing native interop code, wrapping a C or C++ library for use in .NET, diagnosing crashes, memory leaks, or corruption at the managed/native boundary. DO NOT USE FOR: COM interop, C++/CLI mixed-mode assemblies, or pure managed code with no native dependencies.

nuget-trusted-publishing

Set up NuGet trusted publishing (OIDC) on a GitHub Actions repo — replaces long-lived API keys with short-lived tokens. USE FOR: trusted publishing, NuGet OIDC, keyless NuGet publish, migrate from NuGet API key, NuGet/login, secure NuGet publishing. DO NOT USE FOR: publishing to private feeds or Azure Artifacts (OIDC is nuget.org only). INVOKES: shell (powershell or bash), edit, create, ask_user for guided repo setup.
