Is there an official .NET skill?
311 of the 829 .NET skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Microsoft Skill Creator, Copilot Session Failure Analysis, Microsoft Code Reference, Update .NET OS Packages, Apple Crash Log .NET Symbolication and 306 more.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
