sdlc-dotnet-tooling
.NET SDK and NuGet tooling conventions: dotnet CLI commands (new/build/run/test/publish/restore/format), NuGet package management (PackageReference, Directory.Packages.props central package management, packages.lock.json), project file conventions (.csproj, .sln, global.json, Directory.Build.props), multi-targeting, and dotnet format. Stack-agnostic — referenced by every .NET plugin in the marketplace. Use this skill to: - Detect the .NET SDK version and run all commands via the dotnet CLI. - Manage NuGet dependencies safely (central package management, no floating versions). - Configure project files and solution-wide properties in Directory.Build.props. - Format code consistently with dotnet format. Do NOT use this skill for: - Framework-specific tooling (dotnet ef migrations, aspnet-codegenerator — those are in sdlc-aspnet-conventions). - Testing patterns — see sdlc-dotnet-testing. - C# language idioms — see sdlc-csharp-conventions.
