What dotnet-backend does

This skill guides Claude Code on ASP.NET Core API work, from Minimal APIs and controllers to input validation and error handling. It covers EF Core data access, migration setup and query patterns, plus authentication and authorization.

Background task examples use IHostedService, BackgroundService, and schedulers such as Hangfire or Quartz.NET. The material also includes patterns for JWT, SignalR, and tests. Its examples rely on specific libraries and storage options, so check that the technologies you want match the ones in your project.

What it helps with

build an ASP.NET Core API with controllers or Minimal APIs
add JWT authentication and authorization policies
design EF Core queries and migrations
run a background service or scheduled job
test a .NET API

Example prompts for the agent

Build a user API with ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs and EF Core.
Add JWT authentication and role-based authorization to my .NET API.
Create an EF Core background worker that processes pending emails.
