---name: dotnet-upgradedescription: 'Ready-to-use prompts for comprehensive .NET framework upgrade analysis and execution'--- # Project Discovery & Assessment  - name: "Project Classification Analysis"    prompt: "Identify all projects in the solution and classify them by type (`.NET Framework`, `.NET Core`, `.NET Standard`). Analyze each `.csproj` for its current `TargetFramework` and SDK usage."   - name: "Dependency Compatibility Review"    prompt: "Review external and internal dependencies for framework compatibility. Determine the upgrade complexity based on dependency graph depth."   - name: "Legacy Package Detection"    prompt: "Identify legacy `packages.config` projects needing migration to `PackageReference` format."   # Upgrade Strategy & Sequencing  - name: "Project Upgrade Ordering"    prompt: "Recommend a project upgrade order from least to most dependent components. Suggest how to isolate class library upgrades before API or Azure Function migrations."   - name: "Incremental Strategy Planning"    prompt: "Propose an incremental upgrade strategy with rollback checkpoints. Evaluate the use of **Upgrade Assistant** or **manual upgrades** based on project structure."   - name: "Progress Tracking Setup"    prompt: "Generate an upgrade checklist for tracking build, test, and deployment readiness across all projects."   # Framework Targeting & Code Adjustments  - name: "Target Framework Selection"    prompt: "Suggest the correct `TargetFramework` for each project (e.g., `net8.0`). Review and update deprecated SDK or build configurations."   - name: "Code Modernization Analysis"    prompt: "Identify code patterns needing modernization (e.g., `WebHostBuilder` → `HostBuilder`). Suggest replacements for deprecated .NET APIs and third-party libraries."   - name: "Async Pattern Conversion"    prompt: "Recommend conversion of synchronous calls to async where appropriate for improved performance and scalability."   # NuGet & Dependency Management  - name: "Package Compatibility Analysis"    prompt: "Analyze outdated or incompatible NuGet packages and suggest compatible versions. Identify third-party libraries that lack .NET 8 support and provide migration paths."   - name: "Shared Dependency Strategy"    prompt: "Recommend strategies for handling shared dependency upgrades across projects. Evaluate usage of legacy packages and suggest alternatives in Microsoft-supported namespaces."   - name: "Transitive Dependency Review"    prompt: "Review transitive dependencies and potential version conflicts after upgrade. Suggest resolution strategies for dependency conflicts."   # CI/CD & Build Pipeline Updates  - name: "Pipeline Configuration Analysis"    prompt: "Analyze YAML build definitions for SDK version pinning and recommend updates. Suggest modifications for `UseDotNet@2` and `NuGetToolInstaller` tasks."   - name: "Build Pipeline Modernization"    prompt: "Generate updated build pipeline snippets for .NET 8 migration. Recommend validation builds on feature branches before merging to main."   - name: "CI Automation Enhancement"    prompt: "Identify opportunities to automate test and build verification in CI pipelines. Suggest strategies for continuous integration validation."   # Testing & Validation  - name: "Build Validation Strategy"    prompt: "Propose validation checks to ensure the upgraded solution builds and runs successfully. Recommend automated test execution for unit and integration suites post-upgrade."   - name: "Service Integration Verification"    prompt: "Generate validation steps to verify logging, telemetry, and service connectivity. Suggest strategies for verifying backward compatibility and runtime behavior."   - name: "Deployment Readiness Check"    prompt: "Recommend UAT deployment verification steps before production rollout. Create comprehensive testing scenarios for upgraded components."   # Breaking Change Analysis  - name: "API Deprecation Detection"    prompt: "Identify deprecated APIs or removed namespaces between target versions. Suggest automated scanning using `.NET Upgrade Assistant` and API Analyzer."   - name: "API Replacement Strategy"    prompt: "Recommend replacement APIs or libraries for known breaking areas. Review configuration changes such as `Startup.cs` → `Program.cs` refactoring."   - name: "Regression Testing Focus"    prompt: "Suggest regression testing scenarios focused on upgraded API endpoints or services. Create test plans for critical functionality validation."   # Version Control & Commit Strategy  - name: "Branching Strategy Planning"    prompt: "Recommend branching strategy for safe upgrade with rollback capability. Generate commit templates for partial and complete project upgrades."   - name: "PR Structure Optimization"    prompt: "Suggest best practices for creating structured PRs (`Upgrade to .NET [Version]`). Identify tagging strategies for PRs involving breaking changes."   - name: "Code Review Guidelines"    prompt: "Recommend peer review focus areas (build, test, and dependency validation). Create checklists for effective upgrade reviews."   # Documentation & Communication  - name: "Upgrade Documentation Strategy"    prompt: "Suggest how to document each project's framework change in the PR. Propose automated release note generation summarizing upgrades and test results."   - name: "Stakeholder Communication"    prompt: "Recommend communicating version upgrades and migration timelines to consumers. Generate documentation templates for dependency updates and validation results."   - name: "Progress Tracking Systems"    prompt: "Suggest maintaining an upgrade summary dashboard or markdown checklist. Create templates for tracking upgrade progress across multiple projects."   # Tools & Automation  - name: "Upgrade Tool Selection"    prompt: "Recommend when and how to use: `.NET Upgrade Assistant`, `dotnet list package --outdated`, `dotnet migrate`, and `graph.json` dependency visualization."   - name: "Analysis Script Generation"    prompt: "Generate scripts or prompts for analyzing dependency graphs before upgrading. Propose AI-assisted prompts for Copilot to identify upgrade issues automatically."   - name: "Multi-Repository Validation"    prompt: "Suggest how to validate automation output across multiple repositories. Create standardized validation workflows for enterprise-scale upgrades."   # Final Validation & Delivery  - name: "Final Solution Validation"    prompt: "Generate validation steps to confirm the final upgraded solution passes all validation checks. Suggest production deployment verification steps post-upgrade."   - name: "Deployment Readiness Confirmation"    prompt: "Recommend generating final test results and build artifacts. Create a checklist summarizing completion across projects (builds/tests/deployment)."   - name: "Release Documentation"    prompt: "Generate a release note summarizing framework changes and CI/CD updates. Create comprehensive upgrade summary documentation." ---
