What it does
Wcf is an agent skill from managedcode/dotnet-skills. Work on WCF services, clients, bindings, contracts, and migration decisions for SOAP and multi-transport service-oriented systems on .NET Framework or compatible stacks. USE FOR: working on WCF services, bindings, or clients; deciding whether a service should stay WCF or move to modern HTTP APIs; reviewing transport, security, or interoperability. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant…
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.json`, `references/migration.md` and `references/patterns.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires WCF or a concrete migration off WCF.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs, Microservices and Codebase knowledge for agents. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Installable .NET skill catalog and CLI for Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : working on WCF services
- Deciding whether a service should stay WCF
- Move to modern HTTP APIs
- Reviewing transport
Example prompts
- “/wcf”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires WCF or a concrete migration off WCF.
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use WCF where SOAP, WS-* features, or multi-transport service requirements are real; do not rewrite those needs into HTTP-only guidance by…
- Keep contracts, bindings, behaviors, and hosting configuration explicit because WCF complexity compounds through configuration indirection.
- For new REST-style services, prefer modern ASP.NET Core APIs instead of extending WCF into a shape it is no longer best suited for.
- Plan migrations per endpoint and capability: transport, security model, transaction requirements, metadata, and client compatibility.
- Validate interoperability and deployment assumptions with the actual client ecosystem, not only local service startup.
- When WCF coexists with ASP.NET, be explicit about which runtime behaviors are shared and which are not.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 535dd55. 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
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.
Compatibility
Requires WCF or a concrete migration off WCF.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Wcf loads about 595 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 147 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.

Windows Communication Foundation
Trigger On
- working on WCF services, bindings, or clients
- deciding whether a service should stay WCF or move to modern HTTP APIs
- reviewing transport, security, or interoperability settings
Workflow
- Use WCF where SOAP, WS-* features, or multi-transport service requirements are real; do not rewrite those needs into HTTP-only guidance by accident.
- Keep contracts, bindings, behaviors, and hosting configuration explicit because WCF complexity compounds through configuration indirection.
- For new REST-style services, prefer modern ASP.NET Core APIs instead of extending WCF into a shape it is no longer best suited for.
- Plan migrations per endpoint and capability: transport, security model, transaction requirements, metadata, and client compatibility.
- Validate interoperability and deployment assumptions with the actual client ecosystem, not only local service startup.
- When WCF coexists with ASP.NET, be explicit about which runtime behaviors are shared and which are not.
Deliver
- stable WCF service or client configuration
- realistic migration guidance to newer stacks where appropriate
- clear contract and binding ownership
Validate
- WCF is used for a reason the modern stack does not replace directly
- binding and security behavior are explicit
- interop is verified with real consumers

- migration.md - WCF to gRPC/REST/CoreWCF migration paths, decision framework, and endpoint-by-endpoint migration strategy

When should I use Wcf?
Wcf fits situations like: : working on WCF services; deciding whether a service should stay WCF; move to modern HTTP APIs; reviewing transport.
How do I install Wcf in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add managedcode/dotnet-skills --skill wcf -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (catalog/Frameworks/WCF/skills/wcf in managedcode/dotnet-skills) into .claude/skills/wcf in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Wcf in Codex?
Run `npx skills add managedcode/dotnet-skills --skill wcf -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (catalog/Frameworks/WCF/skills/wcf in managedcode/dotnet-skills) into .agents/skills/wcf in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Wcf 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 managedcode/dotnet-skills --skill wcf -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/wcf, .gemini/skills/wcf, .github/skills/wcf and .opencode/skills/wcf in your project.
What does Wcf need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Wcf is instructions for the agent only. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires WCF or a concrete migration off WCF..
Does Wcf 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 Wcf safe to install?
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.
What licence does Wcf use?
Wcf is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Wcf use?
About 595 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
