What it does

Provides ready-to-use prompts for .NET framework upgrade analysis covering project classification, dependency compatibility review, API migration, and configuration conversion.

Overview

.NET Upgrade is a skill that provides comprehensive, ready-to-use prompts for analyzing and executing .NET framework upgrades. It covers the full upgrade lifecycle from project discovery and dependency compatibility review through framework targeting, NuGet management, configuration migration, and post-upgrade validation, ensuring a structured and safe transition to modern .NET versions.

Key Features

Project Discovery & Assessment - Classifies projects by framework type, analyzes dependency graphs for compatibility, and detects legacy packages.config files needing migration to PackageReference
Upgrade Strategy & Sequencing - Recommends optimal project upgrade order from least to most dependent, proposes incremental strategies with rollback checkpoints, and generates tracking checklists
Framework Targeting & Code Modernization - Suggests correct TargetFramework values, identifies deprecated APIs needing replacement (e.g., WebHostBuilder to HostBuilder), and recommends async pattern conversions
Configuration & Startup Migration - Guides conversion from web.config/app.config to appsettings.json, middleware pipeline setup, and authentication/authorization migration
Post-Upgrade Validation - Provides prompts for test verification, runtime behavior analysis, performance benchmarking, and CI/CD pipeline updates

Who is this for?

This skill is designed for .NET developers and teams planning framework upgrades, whether migrating from .NET Framework to .NET 8+ or upgrading between modern .NET versions. It is particularly valuable for enterprises with large solutions containing multiple interdependent projects that require a careful, phased upgrade approach.
