A base64 string of 128+ characters appears in a documentation file. Encoded prompt injection hides the hostile instruction in base64 — invisible to keyword filters — and relies on the agent's ability to decode it at runtime. There is no normal authoring reason to embed a multi-hundred-byte base64 blob in skill docs.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
This repository contains the .NET team's curated set of portable skills and host-specific custom agents for coding agents. For information about the Agent Skills standard, see agentskills.io.
[!TIP] Compare skill value: Open the Skill Value dashboard See token use, elapsed time, activation, and not-passed rates by plugin, skill, executor model, and judge model.
Plugin support is component-specific:
agents/*.agent.md use GitHub Copilot custom-agent conventions. They are notinstalled as native OpenAI Codex agents.
.codex/agents/*.toml. This repository does not currently ship thembecause Codex plugin installation does not place agent files in those discovery locations.

}Once configured, type /plugins in Copilot Chat or use the @agentPlugins filter in Extensions to browse and install plugins from the marketplace.
This repository is a Cursor plugin marketplace. You can discover and install published plugins directly in Cursor:
.NET or browse cursor.com/marketplaceFor local development or unpublished changes, import plugins from a local checkout:
~/.cursor/plugins/local/dotnet-agent-skillsSkills in this repository follow the agentskills.io open standard and are compatible with OpenAI Codex.
Codex plugin installs expose the skills and any Codex-compatible MCP servers declared by the plugin. They do not expose the repository's GitHub Copilot .agent.md files, their static handoffs, or host-specific LSP declarations. Use Codex's built-in dynamic subagent delegation instead. Native Codex custom agents are a separate configuration mechanism documented under multi-agent workflows. OpenAI Agents SDK handoffs are an application-level transfer between SDK-defined agents; they are separate from both Copilot's static UI handoff metadata and Codex plugin or custom-agent packaging.
#### Plugin marketplace (recommended)
Codex CLI v0.121.0 and later supports a plugin marketplace. This repository ships a Codex-native marketplace manifest at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, so you can register dotnet/skills as a marketplace and install plugins from it directly.
codex plugin marketplace add dotnet/skills /pluginsdotnet-agent-skills tab and install the desired plugins. codex plugin marketplace upgrade dotnet-agent-skills#### Individual skills
You can also install individual skills using the skill-installer CLI with the GitHub URL:
$ skill-installer install https://github.com/dotnet/skills/tree/main/plugins/<plugin>/skills/<skill-name>See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidelines and how to add a new plugin.
