## What it does

The plugin includes slash commands for C# async programming and tests with xUnit, NUnit, MSTest, or TUnit. Other commands help create ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints with OpenAPI documentation, review .NET practices for a solution or project, and analyze a .NET framework upgrade. There is also a migration command for replacing checked-in `.designer.cs` files behind `.resx` with a source generator.

The `expert-dotnet-software-engineer` agent provides .NET engineering guidance using modern design patterns. Install the plugin from Copilot CLI with `copilot plugin install csharp-dotnet-development@awesome-copilot`; the command must be run in Copilot CLI.

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install csharp-dotnet-development@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- get guidance on asynchronous C# code
- create ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints with OpenAPI documentation
- prepare unit tests with xUnit, NUnit, MSTest, or TUnit
- check a .NET project against coding practices
- migrate `.resx` resources from `.designer.cs` files to a source generator

## Example prompts
- Show me C# async best practices with `/csharp-dotnet-development:csharp-async`.
- Create an ASP.NET Minimal API endpoint with OpenAPI docs using `/csharp-dotnet-development:aspnet-minimal-api-openapi`.
- Check this project against .NET best practices with `/csharp-dotnet-development:dotnet-best-practices`.
