architecture

Design or review .NET solution architecture across modular monoliths, clean architecture, vertical slices, microservices, DDD, CQRS, and cloud-native boundaries without over-engineering. USE FOR: .NET architecture choices; layer and domain boundary review; service decomposition; clean architecture, vertical slice, DDD, CQRS, and modular monolith decisions. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

.NET Architecture

Trigger On

  • choosing architecture for a new or evolving .NET system
  • reviewing layer boundaries, domain boundaries, or service decomposition
  • deciding whether clean architecture, vertical slices, CQRS, or microservices are justified

Workflow

  1. Start from business capability boundaries and change frequency, not from a preferred diagram style.
  2. Use simple modular monolith patterns by default, and move to microservices only when team autonomy, scale, or deployment boundaries justify the added operational cost.
  3. Apply DDD and CQRS where business rules are genuinely complex; avoid forcing aggregates and command pipelines into CRUD-heavy code with no payoff.
  4. Keep dependencies flowing inward when using clean architecture, but avoid creating extra projects that add ceremony without ownership clarity.
  5. Make integration boundaries explicit: contracts, storage ownership, messaging, consistency model, and observability expectations.
  6. Use aspire when local orchestration, service discovery, and developer observability are part of the architecture story.

Deliver

  • an architecture direction that matches system complexity
  • clear project and dependency boundaries
  • migration notes or tradeoffs when changing an existing structure

Validate

  • the proposed structure reduces rather than increases accidental complexity
  • data ownership and integration paths are explicit
  • the architecture is testable and operable, not just diagram-friendly

References

  • references/patterns.md - detailed implementations of Clean Architecture, Vertical Slices, DDD, CQRS, Modular Monolith, and Microservices with C# 12+ examples
  • references/anti-patterns.md - common architectural mistakes including over-abstraction, anemic domain models, premature microservices, and cargo cult patterns

Use a repo-root `.editorconfig` to configure free .NET analyzer and style rules. Use when a .NET repo needs rule severity, code-style options, section layout, or analyzer ownership made explicit. USE FOR: the repo needs a root .editorconfig; analyzer severity and style ownership are unclear; the team wants one source of truth for rule configuration. DO NOT USE FOR: choosing analyzers with no config change; formatting-only execution with no config ownership question. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Scans .NET code for ~50 performance anti-patterns across async, memory, strings, collections, LINQ, regex, serialization, and I/O with tiered severity classification. Use when analyzing .NET code for optimization opportunities, reviewing hot paths, or auditing allocation-heavy patterns.

Symbolicate the .NET runtime frames in an Android tombstone file. Extracts BuildIds and PC offsets from the native backtrace, downloads debug symbols from the Microsoft symbol server, and runs llvm-symbolizer to produce function names with source file and line numbers. USE FOR triaging a .NET MAUI or Mono Android app crash from a tombstone, resolving native backtrace frames in libmonosgen-2.0.so or libcoreclr.so to .NET runtime source code, or investigating SIGABRT, SIGSEGV, or other native signals originating from the .NET runtime on Android. DO NOT USE FOR pure Java/Kotlin crashes, managed .NET exceptions that are already captured in logcat, or iOS crash logs. INVOKES Symbolicate-Tombstone.ps1 script, llvm-symbolizer, Microsoft symbol server.

Symbolicate .NET runtime frames in Apple platform .ips crash logs (iOS, tvOS, Mac Catalyst, macOS). Extracts UUIDs and addresses from the native backtrace, locates dSYM debug symbols, and runs atos to produce function names with source file and line numbers. Automatically downloads .dwarf symbols from the Microsoft symbol server using Mach-O UUIDs. USE FOR triaging a .NET MAUI or Mono app crash from an .ips file on any Apple platform, resolving native backtrace frames in libcoreclr or libmonosgen-2.0 to .NET runtime source code, retrieving .ips crash logs from a connected iOS device or iPhone, or investigating EXC_CRASH, EXC_BAD_ACCESS, SIGABRT, or SIGSEGV originating from the .NET runtime. DO NOT USE FOR pure Swift/Objective-C crashes with no .NET components, or Android tombstone files. INVOKES Symbolicate-Crash.ps1 script, atos, dwarfdump, idevicecrashreport.

Use the open-source free `ArchUnitNET` library for architecture rules in .NET tests. Use when a repo needs richer architecture assertions than lightweight fluent rule libraries usually provide. USE FOR: the repo uses or wants ArchUnitNET; architecture testing needs richer modeling than simple dependency checks. DO NOT USE FOR: the lightest possible architecture rule checks. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.
