What Dotnet Ai is
Dotnet Ai is a plugin published in the dotnet/skills repository on GitHub, which has about 5.5k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Repository for skills to assist AI coding agents with .NET and C#”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Dotnet Ai adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.
How to install Dotnet Ai
Claude Code
- Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add dotnet/skills
- Install the plugin: claude plugin install dotnet-ai@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
- Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.
Claude Cowork
- Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
- Enter dotnet/skills (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
- Find Dotnet Ai in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.
New to extending Cowork? Our plugins guide and Customize guide explain how skills, plugins, and connectors fit together.

We couldn't retrieve the source file for this entry. Browse the repository on GitHub to find it and read the README before installing.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
