Published by the official Microsoft .NET team, this repository holds the .NET team's curated set of portable skills and host-specific custom agents for coding agents, following the Agent Skills standard at agentskills.io. The README lists 15 plugins (dotnet, dotnet-data, dotnet-diag, dotnet-msbuild, dotnet-nuget, dotnet-upgrade, dotnet-maui, dotnet-ai, dotnet-aspnetcore, dotnet-blazor, dotnet-test, and more); the skills.sh snapshot indexes 6 entries, led by test running, EF Core query optimization, performance analysis, OpenTelemetry configuration, and test anti-patterns.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- The Sep 29, 2026 snapshot indexes 6 skills with 0/6 published verification entries; the repo README documents a much larger plugin catalog (15 plugins) that the sweep does not fully cover.
- The main-branch README was fetched to confirm the skill layout; install and star counts come from the marketplace snapshot.
- No live install test has been run from Hermes yet.
