.NET Backend Development Patterns

Name: dotnet-backend-patterns
Author: nous-hermeshub

Master C#/.NET patterns for building production-grade APIs, MCP servers, and enterprise backends with modern best practices (2024/2025).

Use this skill when

Developing new .NET Web APIs or MCP servers
Reviewing C# code for quality and performance
Designing service architectures with dependency injection
Implementing caching strategies with Redis
Writing unit and integration tests
Optimizing database access with EF Core or Dapper
Configuring applications with IOptions pattern
Handling errors and implementing resilience patterns

Do not use this skill when

The project is not using .NET or C#
You only need frontend or client guidance
The task is unrelated to backend architecture

Instructions

Define architecture boundaries, modules, and layering.
Apply DI, async patterns, and resilience strategies.
Validate data access performance and caching.
Add tests and observability for critical flows.
If detailed patterns are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed .NET patterns and examples.

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
