.NET CLI tools with SKILLS for coding agents.

Available Skills

What are Skills?

Skills are lightweight prompts that teach coding agents how to use CLI tools effectively. They provide:

• Token-efficient workflows that don't bloat LLM context
• Purpose-built commands for specific tasks
• Best practices for common scenarios

Requirements

• .NET 10 SDK or newer
• Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or any other coding agent

Installing Skills

GitHub Copilot CLI (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add davidfowl/dotnet-skillz
/plugin install ilspy-decompile@dotnet-skillz

Claude Code

mkdir -p .claude/skills/<skill-name>
curl -o .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidfowl/dotnet-skillz/main/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

Skills-less operation

You can also point your agent directly at a tool's help:

Decompile MyLibrary.dll using dnx ilspycmd.
Check dnx ilspycmd --help for available commands.
