dotnetplatform-detection
Identify a .NET project's test platform, framework, command mode, and SDK-style vs classic project system. Use only for "which test platform/framework?", "VSTest or MTP?", or "what runner does this project use?", including bridge settings, UseVSTest opt-outs, and incompatible or conflicting VSTest/MTP configuration. Resolves global.json, project, packages.config, Directory.Build.props, and Directory.Packages.props precedence for MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit. DO NOT USE when the user asks to run/filt

dotnetresolve-project-references
Guide for interpreting ResolveProjectReferences time in MSBuild performance summaries. Activate when ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target and developers are trying to optimize it directly. Explains that the reported time includes wait time for dependent project builds and is misleading. Guides users to focus on task self-time instead. Do not activate for general build performance -- use build-perf-diagnostics instead.

dotnetsystem-text-json-net11
Imperative guidance for the System.Text.Json APIs added in .NET 11: the built-in JsonNamingPolicy.PascalCase naming policy, and the strongly-typed generic JsonSerializerOptions.GetTypeInfo and JsonSerializerOptions.TryGetTypeInfo metadata accessors (generic overloads that return a typed JsonTypeInfo). USE ONLY when the user is targeting net11.0 or later and needs PascalCase JSON property or dictionary-key names without writing a custom naming policy, a strongly-typed generic JsonTypeInfo instead
