Master .NET Architecture: AI-Enhanced Solution Design

Master .NET Architecture: AI-Enhanced Solution Design

This AI agent skill provides developers with the ability to design and review .NET solution architectures. It focuses on optimizing the selection and implementation of modular monoliths, clean architecture, vertical slices, microservices, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), and cloud-native boundaries. The skill seeks to achieve efficient architecture without unnecessary complexity.

What this skill does

• Triggers decision-making when choosing architectures for new or evolving .NET systems.
• Facilitates review of layer boundaries, domain boundaries, and service decomposition.
• Assists in deciding the justification for clean architecture, vertical slices, CQRS, or microservices.
• Promotes starting from business capability boundaries and change frequencies rather than diagram preference.
• Advocates simple modular monolith patterns by default, moving to microservices only when justified.
• Applies Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and CQRS when business complexity warrants their use.
• Helps to maintain dependencies flowing inward in clean architecture without unnecessary projects.
• Makes integration boundaries explicit regarding contracts, storage ownership, messaging, and consistency models.
• Utilizes `dotnet-aspire` for local orchestration, service discovery, and developer observability.
• Delivers clear project and dependency boundaries for architecture direction with migration notes or tradeoffs.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and teams working with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, seeking structured approaches to .NET architecture.

Use cases

• Deciding on the architecture for a new .NET system based on business capability needs.
• Reviewing existing .NET systems to refine layer and service decomposition.
• Determining if advanced architectural patterns like microservices are necessary for scaling.
• Improving current architecture by rationalizing dependency management and integration boundaries.

Technical details

This AI agent skill leverages capabilities in agent-skills, aiapplication, and dotnet-architecture to assist developers. The use of `dotnet-aspire` facilitates aspects of local orchestration and developer observability, which are crucial in managing robust .NET applications.
