Microsoft's .NET team has launched dotnet/skills, a GitHub repository hosting agent skills for .NET developers. Agent skills are lightweight packages bundling intent, task-specific context, and supporting artifacts that coding agents like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code can discover and use to complete tasks more reliably. The repo follows the Agent Skills specification and is organized as a plugin marketplace. Skills can be installed via CLI commands or VS Code Copilot settings. The team validates each skill against a baseline to measure whether it actually improves agent responses, and plans to iterate based on community feedback.
