using-dotnet

Scope

• Establishing .NET/C# routing discipline before clarifying questions, planning, command execution, or edits.
• Detecting .NET intent from prompt and repository signals (.sln, .slnx, .csproj, global.json, .cs).
• Enforcing first-step routing through dotnet-advisor and baseline loading order.
• Defining priority and rigidity rules for downstream skill invocation.

Out of scope

• C# implementation details and coding-standard specifics -> dotnet-csharp
• Deep domain implementation patterns -> dotnet-api, dotnet-ui, dotnet-testing, dotnet-devops, dotnet-tooling, dotnet-debugging
• Specialist deep-review workflows -> dotnet-security-reviewer, dotnet-performance-analyst, dotnet-testing-specialist

Simplicity First (KISS)

Write the simplest code that solves the problem. Agents consistently over-engineer — more abstractions, more layers, more indirection than the task warrants.
