The Agent Skills Directory

[Command Execution]: The skill utilizes official 'dotnet' CLI tools (dotnet new search, dotnet new list, dotnet new --help, and dotnet new --dry-run) to facilitate project template discovery. These commands are informational in nature and are used within their intended scope for finding and inspecting development templates.
[External Queries]: The skill uses dotnet new search to query for templates, which may involve network requests to NuGet.org (an established package registry for .NET). This is a standard and expected operation for the tool to identify available project templates.
[Input Handling]: The skill maps natural-language descriptions from users to template short names. This provides a user-friendly interface for resolving project intent to concrete templates while maintaining transparency through help and dry-run previews.
[Safe Previewing]: The skill correctly emphasizes the use of the --dry-run flag when evaluating templates, which allows the agent to show what files would be created without performing any actual write operations to the disk.
