platform-detection
From the author
Identify a .NET project's test platform, framework, command mode, and SDK-style vs classic project system. Use only for "which test platform/framework?", "VSTest or MTP?", or "what runner does this project use?", including bridge settings, UseVSTest opt-outs, and incompatible or conflicting VSTest/MTP configuration. Resolves global.json, project, packages.config, Directory.Build.props, and Directory.Packages.props precedence for MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit. DO NOT USE when the user asks to run/filter tests or for commands, flags, TRX/dumps, or test-command/filter errors; use run-tests directly. Do not route hot-reload or migration requests here as the entry skill; mtp-hot-reload may use this skill internally for platform detection.

- run-testsdotnet/skillsALWAYS USE before running .NET tests or answering with a test command or flags. Trigger on "run the tests", "exact dotnet test command", one test/class/category/trait/target framework, combined filters, `--filter-query`, `--no-build`, `--diag`, diagnostic logs, TRX, coverage collection, crash/hang dumps, filter errors, or unrecognized options. Chooses repository-compatible classic, VSTest, bridged MTP, or native MTP syntax for MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit. DO NOT USE for platform identification alone (platform-detection), writing or debugging test code, interpreting an existing coverage report, CI investigation, migration, or a persistent hot reload/watch loop.Testing★ 5.7K
- migrate-vstest-to-mtpdotnet/skillsUse this skill before answering, planning, or editing whenever .NET tests or CI are switching from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP), or an MTP migration behaves differently. Triggers include "switch from VSTest"; MSTest/NUnit/xUnit MTP enablement; OutputType=Exe only for test projects in Directory.Build.props; EnableMSTestRunner, EnableNUnitRunner, UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner, or YTest.MTP.XUnit2; .NET 10 global.json test.runner and TestingPlatformDotnetTestSupport; translating VSTest filters, logger, coverage, blame, or dump arguments; replacing VSTest@3; and exit code 8 or zero tests. Also use for xUnit v3 MTP filters during a v2-to-v3 upgrade. Do not use for framework conversion, TFM, UWP, or WinUI.Testing★ 5.7K
- template-discoverydotnet/skillsHelps find, inspect, and compare (at a high level) .NET project templates. Resolves natural-language project descriptions to ranked template matches with pre-filled parameters. USE FOR: finding the right dotnet new template for a task, inspecting a template's parameters and constraints, understanding what a template produces before creating a project, resolving intent like "web API with auth" to concrete template + parameters. DO NOT USE FOR: actually creating projects (use template-instantiation), authoring custom templates (use template-authoring), producing a detailed side-by-side comparison (use template-comparison), choosing cross-parameter defaults during creation (use template-smart-defaults), MSBuild or build issues (use dotnet-msbuild plugin), NuGet package management unrelated to template packages.Engineering★ 5.7K
- filter-syntaxdotnet/skillsReference-only filter syntax for VSTest and MTP with MSTest, NUnit, xUnit v3, and TUnit. Load only after the platform/framework is known and a consumer needs to create or translate a filter. Do not load for unfiltered runs or platform detection. Used by run-tests and mtp-hot-reload; never invoke directly.Testing★ 5.7K
- mtp-hot-reloaddotnet/skillsSet up or recover MTP hot reload for a long-lived console-host edit/re-run loop in a Microsoft Testing Platform project. Use for explicit MTP console requests such as "enable hot reload", "dotnet run to rerun on edit", or unsupported/rude edits. Covers setup, run/watch, restarts, filters, and the VSTest no-mutation fallback. For one-time runs, exact commands, filter errors, TRX/dumps, or merely a failing test, use run-tests. Do not use when Test Explorer or an IDE should rerun tests without an MTP console host. Excludes editor integration, CI, and writing/debugging tests.Testing★ 5.7K
- dotnet-trace-collectdotnet/skillsGuide developers through capturing diagnostic artifacts to diagnose production .NET performance issues. Use when the user needs help choosing diagnostic tools, collecting performance data, or understanding tool trade-offs across different environments (Windows/Linux, .NET Framework/modern .NET, container/non-container).Other★ 5.7K
