abp-ef-coreABP Entity Framework Core - DbContext, entity configuration, EfCoreRepository implementation, migrations (dotnet ef migrations add), data seeding.
Abp Ef Core is an agent skill from abpframework/abp. ABP Entity Framework Core - DbContext, entity configuration, EfCoreRepository implementation, migrations (dotnet ef migrations add), data seeding. Use when working in EntityFrameworkCore projects, adding migrations, or implementing EF Core repositories.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Databases, covering ORMs and data access. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Open-source web application framework for ASP.NET Core! Offers an opinionated architecture to build enterprise software solutions with best practices on top of the .NET. Provides… The licence is LGPL-3.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a54b599. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dotnetFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
abp.ioFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Abp Ef Core loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ABP Entity Framework Core - DbContext, entity configuration, EfCoreRepository implementation, migrations (dotnet ef migrations add), data seeding.
Abp Ef Core fits situations like: working in EntityFrameworkCore projects; adding migrations; implementing EF Core repositories.
Run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-ef-core -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/abp-ef-core in abpframework/abp) into .claude/skills/abp-ef-core in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-ef-core -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/abp-ef-core in abpframework/abp) into .agents/skills/abp-ef-core in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-ef-core -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/abp-ef-core, .gemini/skills/abp-ef-core, .github/skills/abp-ef-core and .opencode/skills/abp-ef-core in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Abp Ef Core needs the command-line tools its instructions call (dotnet).
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: abp.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Abp Ef Core is published under the LGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
