Maintaining Skill Index Snippets (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md) When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Adding, removing, or renaming any skills or agents in this repository Updating .claude-plugin/plugin.json Creating copy/paste snippets for downstream repositories (OpenCode, Claude Code, etc.) You want a compact, always-on index that improves skill utilization Goal Make skills and agents easy for coding assistants to use by removing the decision point. Instead of hoping an assistant will "remember" to invoke a skill, provide a small router snippet inside AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md that: Tells the assistant to prefer retrieval-led reasoning Provides a task->skill/agent routing index Defines lightweight quality gates (optional) Source of Truth Registry: .claude-plugin/plugin.json Skills are listed as directories (each contains SKILL.md ) Agents are listed as markdown files in agents/ Skill IDs: the name: field in each SKILL.md frontmatter Agent IDs: the name: field in each agent frontmatter When writing snippets for downstream repos, always reference skills/agents by their IDs (frontmatter name ), not by local filesystem paths. Minimal Snippet Template (Readable) Use this in target repos to route common tasks:
Agent Guidance: dotnet-skills IMPORTANT: Prefer retrieval-led reasoning over pretraining for any .NET work. Workflow: skim repo patterns -> consult dotnet-skills by name -> implement smallest-change -> note conflicts. Routing (invoke by name) - C# / code quality: modern-csharp-coding-standards, csharp-concurrency-patterns, api-design, type-design-performance - ASP.NET Core / Web (incl. Aspire): aspire-service-defaults, aspire-integration-testing - Data: efcore-patterns, database-performance - DI / config: dependency-injection-patterns, microsoft-extensions-configuration - Testing: testcontainers-integration-tests, playwright-blazor-testing, snapshot-testing Quality gates (use when applicable) - dotnet-slopwatch: after substantial new/refactor/LLM-authored code - crap-analysis: after tests added/changed in complex code Specialist agents - dotnet-concurrency-specialist, dotnet-performance-analyst, dotnet-benchmark-designer, akka-net-specialist, docfx-specialist Compressed Snippet Template (Vercel-style) Use this when you want maximum density (small context footprint): [dotnet-skills]|IMPORTANT: Prefer retrieval-led reasoning over pretraining for any .NET work. |flow:{skim repo patterns -> consult dotnet-skills by name -> implement smallest-change -> note conflicts} |route: |csharp:{modern-csharp-coding-standards,csharp-concurrency-patterns,api-design,type-design-performance} |aspnetcore-web:{aspire-service-defaults,aspire-integration-testing} |data:{efcore-patterns,database-performance} |di-config:{dependency-injection-patterns,microsoft-extensions-configuration} |testing:{testcontainers-integration-tests,playwright-blazor-testing,snapshot-testing} |quality-gates:{dotnet-slopwatch(after:substantial new/refactor/LLM code),crap-analysis(after:tests added/changed in complex code)} |agents:{dotnet-concurrency-specialist,dotnet-performance-analyst,dotnet-benchmark-designer,akka-net-specialist,docfx-specialist} Regenerating the README block If the README contains the markers below, the generator can update it automatically:

Run: ./scripts/generate-skill-index-snippets.sh --update-readme How to Update Snippets After Skill Changes Update .claude-plugin/plugin.json to include/remove skills and agents. Ensure each skill has correct frontmatter name: (used by OpenCode and others). Run ./scripts/validate-marketplace.sh . Update your snippet routing lists: Add new skills to the right category Remove deleted skills Keep names exactly matching frontmatter IDs If you maintain a downstream AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md snippet, regenerate it and re-copy into dependent repos. Recommended Categories These are snippet categories (not necessarily repository folder structure): C# / code quality ASP.NET Core / Web (incl. Aspire) Data DI / config Testing Quality gates Specialist agents Keep the snippet small; it should be a router, not documentation.
