Does it support CI/CD pipeline updates?

Absolutely. The skill provides analysis and modernization prompts for YAML build definitions, including SDK version pinning and updating build tasks.

Does it automate the entire upgrade process?

It provides the strategy, analysis, and code suggestions. It is designed to work alongside tools like the .NET Upgrade Assistant to provide AI-driven context and expert refactoring.

How does it handle third-party library compatibility?

It includes a dedicated Dependency Compatibility Review that analyzes external packages for framework support and suggests migration paths for incompatible libraries.

Can this skill help with .NET Framework to .NET Core migrations?

Yes, it includes specific prompts for identifying legacy projects, migrating packages.config to PackageReference, and modernizing code patterns like Global.asax to Program.cs.

Is it suitable for large, multi-project solutions?

Yes, the skill specializes in project upgrade ordering, helping you sequence migrations from the least dependent components to the most complex ones.

Despliegue y DevOps

Streamlines the analysis, planning, and execution of migrating legacy .NET applications to modern versions like .NET 8.

The dotnet-upgrade skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for developers transitioning legacy .NET Framework, Core, or Standard projects to the latest versions. It automates the heavy lifting of project discovery, dependency compatibility auditing, and code modernization. By providing structured prompts for everything from converting packages.config to modernizing CI/CD pipelines, this skill ensures that migrations are handled systematically with minimal risk. It is particularly useful for enterprise-scale solutions where dependency graphs are complex and breaking changes require a strategic, phased approach.
