dump-collect
.NET Crash Dump Collection
This skill configures and collects crash dumps for modern .NET applications (CoreCLR and NativeAOT) on Linux, macOS, and Windows — including containers.
Stop Signals
🚨 Read before starting any workflow.
- Stop after dumps are enabled or collected. Do not open, analyze, or triage dump files.
- If the user already has a dump file, this skill does not cover analysis. Let them know analysis is out of scope.
- Do not install analysis tools (dotnet-dump analyze, windbg). Only install collection tools (dotnet-dump collect). Using
lldbfor on-demand dump capture on macOS is allowed — it ships with Xcode command-line tools and is not being used for analysis. - Do not trace root cause of crashes. Report the dump file location and move on.
- Do not modify application code. Configuration is environment-only (env vars, OS settings, container specs).
Step 1 — Identify the Scenario
Ask or determine:
- Goal: Enable automatic crash dumps, or capture a dump from a running process right now?
