What it does

Nuget is an agent skill from microsoft/service-fabric-dotnet, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Upgrade, add, remove, or review NuGet package references and dependencies in this repo. Use when changing version.json, Directory.Packages.props, <PackageReference/ elements in .csproj files, or diagnosing dependency conflicts.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Service Fabric .NET Libraries.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing version.json
  • Directory.Packages.props
  • <PackageReference/ elements in .csproj files
  • Diagnosing dependency conflicts

Example prompts

  • “/nuget”

Requirements

  • PowerShell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c8ce57. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (PowerShell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • learn.microsoft.com
    • semver.org

    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

Nuget loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,033 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,033 words (~2,570 tokens).
