Enforces the use of C# records for Data Transfer Objects to ensure immutability and reduce boilerplate code.
The C# DTO Record Enforcer skill automates the transition from traditional class-based Data Transfer Objects to modern C# records. By promoting immutability and value-based equality, this skill helps developers create more robust and thread-safe API layers. It specifically targets request/response models and serialization objects, converting verbose property patterns into concise positional parameters or init-only properties. This ensures that data-carrying objects remain read-only throughout their lifecycle, preventing accidental state changes and improving overall code maintainability in .NET environments.
