Agent Skills for VisioForge .NET SDKs¶
VisioForge publishes per-platform Agent Skills at https://www.visioforge.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json per the Agent Skills Discovery RFC v0.2.0.
What is this?¶
A Skill is a small, self-contained package of procedural knowledge an AI coding agent can load on demand: the NuGet packages to add, the license registration code, the project-file caveats, and the deployment failure modes a developer hits in practice. Skills are loaded automatically by skills-aware agents — no installation step on your side.
When a developer prompts an agent (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Goose, Junie, …) with something like "add VisioForge video capture to this WPF app", the agent inspects the discovery index, finds the matching skill, downloads the archive, and follows the bundled instructions. The result is a setup that uses the current package versions and avoids the deployment gotchas the docs flag.
Discovery surface¶
The well-known endpoints and HTML/HTTP signals are emitted by the marketing site at www.visioforge.com (the host that serves /.well-known/agent-skills/); the help site you're reading this on (help.visioforge.com) doesn't currently inject the discovery <link> or Link: header. Agents discovering us from a help-site page should follow the inline link to https://www.visioforge.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json directly.
Endpoint (served by www.visioforge.com) | Purpose |
|---|---|
/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json | Index of every published skill with name, description, archive URL, and SHA-256 digest. |
/.well-known/agent-skills/<skill-name>.zip | Archive containing SKILL.md + bundled references/ (sample .csproj, init code). |
<link rel="agent-skills"> in every www.visioforge.com page <head> | HTML signal pointing at the index. |
Link: <…>; rel="agent-skills" HTTP header on www.visioforge.com | Same signal for non-HTML responses (Markdown, etc.). |
Skills are discoverable from any page of www.visioforge.com — agents don't need to know the well-known URL up front.
Available skills¶
42 skills cover every (SDK, platform) intersection that has a working sample in github.com/visioforge/.Net-SDK-s-samples. The authoritative list — including each skill's archive URL and SHA-256 digest — lives in the discovery index at https://www.visioforge.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. The catalog below is auto-generated from the same source so it cannot drift.
Naming convention: <sdk-family>-<host> where <host> is the per-platform UI shell or hosting model.

How agents pick up a skill¶
- Agent crawls a page on
www.visioforge.com, sees<link rel="agent-skills" href="/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json">(or the same URL in theLinkHTTP header for Markdown responses). Agents arriving viahelp.visioforge.comshould follow the inlinehttps://www.visioforge.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.jsonlink directly — the help site doesn't emit those discovery signals. - Agent fetches the index, reads the
skills[]array, picks the entries whosedescriptionmatches the user's task. - Agent downloads the matching
.zip, verifies thesha256:digest, unpacksSKILL.mdandreferences/, and follows the procedural instructions.
Reading a skill yourself¶
A skill archive is a plain zip. Unpack it and you'll find:
SKILL.md— frontmatter (name,description) followed by procedural prose: when to use the skill, NuGet packages, project setup, license registration, common pitfalls.references/Sample.csproj— minimal, working csproj for the skill's target host (WPF, WinForms, MAUI, Console, …) — each per-platform skill ships a csproj specific to that host (e.g. the WPF skill csproj setsMicrosoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop+<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>).references/<init-source>.cs— the initialization pattern from a real official sample. WPF skills also bundle the matching.xaml,App.xaml(.cs), and any required resources sodotnet buildsucceeds against the bundle as-is.
Maintenance¶
Skills track the current public NuGet release. The version pinned in each SKILL.md and references/Sample.csproj matches the version in the official samples on github.com/visioforge/.Net-SDK-s-samples. When a major SDK version ships, every skill is updated and the discovery index sha256 digests are recomputed during the visioforge.com build.
