.NET SDK and NuGet tooling conventions: dotnet CLI commands (new/build/run/test/publish/restore/format), NuGet package management (PackageReference, Directory.Packages.props central package management, packages.lock.json), project file conventions (.csproj, .sln, global.json, Directory.Build.props), multi-targeting, and dotnet format. Stack-agnostic — referenced by every .NET plugin in the marketplace. Use this skill to: - Detect the .NET SDK version and run all commands via the dotnet CLI. - Manage NuGet dependencies safely (central package management, no floating versions). - Configure project files and solution-wide properties in Directory.Build.props. - Format code consistently with dotnet format. Do NOT use this skill for: - Framework-specific tooling (dotnet ef migrations, aspnet-codegenerator — those are in aspnet-core-plugin:aspnet-conventions). - Testing patterns — see csharp-foundation:dotnet-testing. - C# language idioms — see csharp-foundation:csharp-conventions.

• Add a NuGet package to a .NET project
• Remove an unused package
• Update a package version across a solution

Activate this skill when BenchmarkDotNet (BDN) is involved in the task — creating, running, configuring, or reviewing BDN benchmarks. Also activate when microbenchmarking .NET code would be useful and BenchmarkDotNet is the likely tool. Consider activating when answering a .NET performance question requires measurement and BenchmarkDotNet may be needed. Covers microbenchmark design, BDN configuration and project setup, how to run BDN microbenchmarks efficiently and effectively, and using BDN for side-by-side performance comparisons. Do NOT use for profiling/tracing .NET code (dotnet-trace, PerfView), production telemetry, or load/stress testing (Crank, k6).

Use the open-source free `CSharpier` formatter for C# and XML. Use when a .NET repo intentionally wants one opinionated formatter instead of a highly configurable `dotnet format`-driven style model.

DO NOT USE FOR: repos that already standardized on dotnet format as the only formatter. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.
