dotnet-initInteractive project initialization. An agent skill from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit.
Dotnet Init is an agent skill from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit. Interactive project initialization. Detects project type, asks architecture questions, and generates a customized CLAUDE.md — no manual template copying. Use when: "init project", "setup project", "initialize", "new project setup", "generate CLAUDE.md", "configure for dotnet-claude-kit", or starting Claude Code on a fresh or existing .NET codebase.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Project scaffolding. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Make Claude Code a .NET 10 Expert. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2330089. 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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From 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.
Dotnet Init loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 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.
The full file from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit at commit 2330089, republished under its MIT licence (© codewithmukesh). 290 words, ~1,658 tokens.
.claude/skills/dotnet-init/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Interactively initializes a .NET project for use with dotnet-claude-kit. Detects the project type, asks targeted questions about architecture and tech stack, then generates a fully customized CLAUDE.md in the project root.
No manual template copying required.
Analyze the current directory to determine if this is an existing or greenfield project:
→ Look for .slnx / .sln files
→ If found, scan .csproj files for SDK type:
- Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web → web-api or blazor-app
- Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker → worker-service
- Microsoft.NET.Sdk → class-library
- Multiple projects with inter-module references → modular-monolith
- If ambiguous, ask the user
→ If NO solution/project found (greenfield):
- Ask: "What are you building?"
- REST API / microservice → web-api
- Blazor application → blazor-app
- Background worker / queue processor → worker-service
- NuGet package / shared library → class-library
- Multi-module system → modular-monolith
- Ask: "Project name?"
- Scaffold the solution structure:
- dotnet new sln -n ProjectName --format slnx (modern XML solution format)
- dotnet new webapi / worker / classlib as appropriate
- Set up Directory.Build.props with .NET 10 defaults
- Create src/ and tests/ folder structureLoad the architecture-advisor skill and ask targeted questions:
convention-learner skill→ Recommend: VSA, Clean Architecture, DDD, or Modular Monolith with rationale.
Ask about specific technology choices:
Load the appropriate template from templates/ as a base, then customize:
[ProjectName] with the actual project/solution nameBefore writing, check for an existing CLAUDE.md. Never overwrite it silently.
→ If ./CLAUDE.md does NOT exist:
- Write the generated content to ./CLAUDE.md
→ If ./CLAUDE.md ALREADY exists:
- Read it and identify hand-written / custom sections
(anything not produced by a kit template)
- Ask: "You already have a CLAUDE.md. How should I proceed?"
- Merge (recommended) → keep the user's custom sections, add or refresh the
kit's architecture, tech-stack, and convention sections in place
- Overwrite → replace it entirely with the freshly generated file
- Keep → leave the file untouched and print the generated content so the
user can copy what they want by hand
- For Merge and Overwrite: back the original up to ./CLAUDE.md.bak first.
Never discard user content without a .bak backup.→ Confirm .mcp.json exists or create it (for Roslyn MCP server)
→ For existing projects:
- Verify the solution file is discoverable
- Run a quick health check to establish baseline
- Report: "Project initialized. Run /health-check to see your baseline."
→ For greenfield projects:
- Verify dotnet build succeeds on the scaffolded solution
- Report: "Project created. Run /scaffold to add your first feature."Skills invoked: project-setup, architecture-advisor, convention-learner

Interactive project initialization. An agent skill from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit. Dotnet Init is an agent skill from codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit. Interactive project initialization.
Dotnet Init fits situations like: new project setup; generate CLAUDE.md; configure for dotnet-claude-kit; starting Claude Code on a fresh.
Run `npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill dotnet-init -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dotnet-init in codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit) into .claude/skills/dotnet-init in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill dotnet-init -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dotnet-init in codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit) into .agents/skills/dotnet-init 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 codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit --skill dotnet-init -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dotnet-init, .gemini/skills/dotnet-init, .github/skills/dotnet-init and .opencode/skills/dotnet-init in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Dotnet Init is instructions for the agent only.
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.
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.
Dotnet Init is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Dotnet Init: Project Setup (Resgrid/Core, 229 stars), Project Setup (Resgrid/Core, 229 stars), Add Remote Endpoint (nextcloud/android-library, 106 stars) and dotclaude Project Setup (poshan0126/dotclaude, 871 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
