Create Blazor Project

What it does

When your agent uses it

• : creating a new Blazor web app
• Scaffolding a new web project
• Starting a new web site
• Choosing render modes (Static SSR

Example prompts

• “/create-blazor-project”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1What does the app do? List the main screens/features (e.g., "product catalog with search and shopping cart").
2. 2What kind of interactivity is needed? Displaying data and forms? Real-time updates? Offline support? Rich drag-and-drop UI?
3. 3Deployment environment? Internet-facing? Intranet? Mobile users on slow connections?
4. 4Authentication needed? Anonymous? Individual accounts? Organizational (Azure AD)?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d670fa. 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:

  • 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

Create Blazor Project loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,067 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~125

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

~3k

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.
