Maui Deep Linking

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Universal links
• Custom URI scheme
• Associated Domains
• Digital Asset Links

Example prompts

• “deep linking”
• “app links”
• “universal links”
• “/maui-deep-linking”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  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.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • adb

  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

Maui Deep Linking loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 175 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~175

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~2.1k

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

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.

description

Guide for implementing deep linking in .NET MAUI apps. Covers Android App Links with intent filters, Digital Asset Links, and AutoVerify; iOS Universal Links with Associated Domains entitlements and Apple App Site Association files; custom URI schemes; and domain verification for both platforms. USE FOR: "deep linking", "app links", "universal links", "custom URI scheme", "intent filter", "Associated Domains", "Digital Asset Links", "open app from URL", "handle incoming URL", "domain verification". DO NOT USE FOR: in-app Shell navigation (use maui-shell-navigation), push notification handling (use maui-push-notifications), or web content embedding (use maui-hybridwebview).

// ❌ Only handles cold-start links
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
    base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
    HandleDeepLink(Intent);
}

// ✅ Handles both cold-start and warm-start links
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
    base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
    HandleDeepLink(Intent);
}
protected override void OnNewIntent(Intent? intent)
{
    base.OnNewIntent(intent);
    HandleDeepLink(intent);
}

// ❌ May crash — GoToAsync called off the main thread
static void HandleUniversalLink(string? url)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) return;
    Shell.Current.GoToAsync(MapToRoute(url));
}

// ✅ Dispatch to main thread
static void HandleUniversalLink(string? url)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) return;
    MainThread.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(async () =>
        await Shell.Current.GoToAsync(MapToRoute(url)));
}
