The Agent Skills Directory

[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill promotes the use of the official dotnet CLI for all package management tasks, ensuring that dependencies are validated and resolved correctly by the platform's native tools.
[CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: Demonstrates best practices for authentication by using environment variable placeholders ($PAT, %NUGET_PAT%) instead of hardcoding sensitive credentials in configuration files.
[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Recommends the use of dotnet-outdated-tool, a widely recognized and reputable community utility for tracking package updates. Example packages such as Serilog, xunit, and Akka are well-known, trusted libraries in the .NET ecosystem.
[SAFE]: Explicitly includes security-focused commands such as dotnet list package --vulnerable and dotnet list package --deprecated to help users identify and mitigate risks in their dependencies.
