What it does

Dotnet AI Stack is an agent skill from atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc. Choose and wire AI features in the .NET backend — LLM calls, agentic tool-calling/multi-step workflows, RAG/vector search, structured output, streaming. Use when adding or changing anything that talks to a model or orchestrates agents (your agentic pipeline). Tailored to our LLM provider + MAF + pgvector stack.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Structured output and tool calling, Vector databases and Retrieval-augmented generation. It works with .NET and pgvector. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code harness for .NET developers.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing anything that talks to a model
  • Orchestrates agents (your agentic pipeline)

Example prompts

  • “/dotnet-ai-stack”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, mcp__serena__initial_instructions, mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview, mcp__serena__find_symbol, mcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols, mcp__serena__find_declaration, mcp__serena__find_implementations, mcp__serena__search_for_pattern, mcp__serena__get_diagnostics_for_file, mcp__serena__list_dir, mcp__serena__find_file, mcp__serena__create_text_file, mcp__serena__replace_symbol_body, mcp__serena__insert_after_symbol, mcp__serena__insert_before_symbol, mcp__serena__replace_content, mcp__serena__rename_symbol, mcp__serena__safe_delete_symbol

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c72a3f9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Bash
    • mcp__serena__initial_instructions
    • mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview
    • mcp__serena__find_symbol
    • mcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols

    …and 13 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dotnet AI Stack loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, mcp__serena__initial_instructions, mcp__serena__get_symbols_ove

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 460 words (~1,237 tokens).

“Our substrate is Microsoft.Extensions.AI (MEAI, the IChatClient seam) + Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF, Microsoft.Agents.AI), provider = your LLM provider, vectors = pgvector on our PostgreSQL, hosting = your (EU) host. This skill adapts Microsoft's technology-selection guidance to those decisions. Read…”
