What it does

Result Pattern is an agent skill from atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc. Implement or use our Result<T failure model in the .NET API — return Result from handlers, build Error values, compose with Map/Then/Match, catch domain exceptions into Result, and map Result→RFC 9457 ProblemDetails. Use when adding an operation that can fail or wiring an endpoint's error contract.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code harness for .NET developers.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding an operation that can fail
  • Wiring an endpoints error contract

Example prompts

  • “/result-pattern”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, Skill, 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

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Handlers return Result (or Result) for expected failures — return dto; (implicit) on success,
  2. Catch domain exceptions — domain invariants throw; in the handler catch a narrow DomainException
  3. Compose with Then/Map to chain fallible steps without nesting; Match to collapse to a value/response.

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
    • Skill
    • mcp__serena__initial_instructions
    • mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview
    • mcp__serena__find_symbol

    …and 14 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Result Pattern loads about 947 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~947

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, Skill, mcp__serena__initial_instructions, mcp__serena__get_symb

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 320 words (~947 tokens).

“The procedure for our hand-rolled, railway-oriented failure model. Source of truth (the facts — read it): .claude/rules/backend/result-and-errors.md and docs/projectStandards/backend-architecture.md §4.2–§4.3. C# (.cs) edits via Serena. No FP library (e.g. CSharpFunctionalExtensions) without Dan's approval.”

Result Pattern is an agent skill from atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc.NET API — return Result from handlers, build Error values, compose with Map/Then/Match, catch domain exceptions into Result, and map Result→RFC 9457 ProblemDetails.

When should I use Result Pattern?

Result Pattern fits situations like: adding an operation that can fail; wiring an endpoints error contract.

How do I install Result Pattern in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc --skill result-pattern -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/result-pattern in atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc) into .claude/skills/result-pattern in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Result Pattern in Codex?

Run `npx skills add atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc --skill result-pattern -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/result-pattern in atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc) into .agents/skills/result-pattern in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Result Pattern in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add atherio-danp/cde-dotnetcc --skill result-pattern -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/result-pattern, .gemini/skills/result-pattern, .github/skills/result-pattern and .opencode/skills/result-pattern in your project.

What does Result Pattern need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Result Pattern is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash, Skill, 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.

Does Result Pattern access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Result Pattern safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Result Pattern use?

No licence was found for Result Pattern or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Result Pattern use?

About 947 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Result Pattern?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Result Pattern: Minimax DOCX (poco-ai/poco-claw, 1.4k stars), Microsoft Skill Creator (MicrosoftDocs/mcp, 1.9k stars), Speckit Constitution (WeihanLi/WeihanLi.Common, 242 stars) and Copilot Session Failure Analysis (dotnet/maui, 23k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
