What it does

Orchardcore Module Creator is an agent skill from OrchardCMS/OrchardCore. Creates new OrchardCore modules with proper structure, manifest, startup, and patterns. Use when the user needs to create a new module, add content parts, fields, drivers, handlers, or admin functionality.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`, `references/module-structure.md` and `references/patterns.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Orchard Core is an open-source modular and multi-tenant application framework built with ASP.NET Core, and a content management system (CMS) built on top of that framework. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to create a new module
  • Add content parts
  • Admin functionality

Example prompts

  • “Use the orchardcore-module-creator skill to create new OrchardCore modules with proper structure, manifest, startup, and patterns”
  • “/orchardcore-module-creator”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Module Type
  2. Create Module Directory
  3. Create Required Files
  4. Add Components Based on Type
  5. Register in Startup.cs
  6. Build and Test

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6bb7b4. 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

Orchardcore Module Creator loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.

OrchardCore Module Creator

This skill guides you through creating new OrchardCore modules following project conventions.

Prerequisites

  • OrchardCore repository at D:\orchardcore
  • .NET SDK 10.0+ installed

Module Creation Workflow

Step 1: Determine Module Type

What kind of module are you creating?

TypeDescriptionKey Components
Content PartAdds data/behavior to content itemsPart, Driver, Views
Content FieldCustom field typeField, Driver, Views
SettingsSite-wide configurationSiteSettings, Driver
Admin FeatureAdmin pages/toolsController, Views, Menu
APIREST endpointsApiController
Background TaskScheduled jobsIBackgroundTask
Step 2: Create Module Directory
bash
# Create module folder
mkdir src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.YourModule
cd src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.YourModule
Step 3: Create Required Files

Every module needs these three files:

  1. Manifest.cs - Module metadata
  2. Startup.cs - Service registration
  3. OrchardCore.YourModule.csproj - Project file

See references/module-structure.md for templates.

Step 4: Add Components Based on Type

For Content Part modules:

Models/YourPart.cs
ViewModels/YourPartViewModel.cs
Drivers/YourPartDisplayDriver.cs
Views/YourPart.cshtml
Views/YourPart_Edit.cshtml

For Admin modules:

Controllers/AdminController.cs
Views/Admin/Index.cshtml
AdminMenu.cs
PermissionProvider.cs

For Data-storing modules:

Migrations.cs
Indexes/YourIndex.cs

See references/patterns.md for code templates.

Step 5: Register in Startup.cs
csharp
public override void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Content part
    services.AddContentPart<YourPart>()
        .UseDisplayDriver<YourPartDisplayDriver>();
    
    // Services
    services.AddScoped<IYourService, YourService>();
    
    // Migrations (if storing data)
    services.AddDataMigration<Migrations>();
    
    // Permissions (if securing features)
    services.AddPermissionProvider<PermissionProvider>();
    
    // Navigation (if adding admin menu)
    services.AddNavigationProvider<AdminMenu>();
}
Step 6: Build and Test
bash
# Build the module
cd D:\orchardcore
dotnet build src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.YourModule

# Run the application
cd src/OrchardCore.Cms.Web
dotnet run -f net10.0

# Enable the feature in Admin → Features
