# ASP.NET Minimal API with OpenAPI

Your goal is to help me create well-structured ASP.NET Minimal API endpoints with correct types and comprehensive OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.

## API Organization

- Group related endpoints using `MapGroup()` extension
- Use endpoint filters for cross-cutting concerns
- Structure larger APIs with separate endpoint classes
- Consider using a feature-based folder structure for complex APIs

## Request and Response Types

- Define explicit request and response DTOs/models
- Create clear model classes with proper validation attributes
- Use record types for immutable request/response objects
- Use meaningful property names that align with API design standards
- Apply `[Required]` and other validation attributes to enforce constraints
- Use the ProblemDetailsService and StatusCodePages to get standard error responses

## Type Handling

- Use strongly-typed route parameters with explicit type binding
- Use `Results<T1, T2>` to represent multiple response types
- Return `TypedResults` instead of `Results` for strongly-typed responses
- Leverage C# 10+ features like nullable annotations and init-only properties

## OpenAPI Documentation

- Use the built-in OpenAPI document support added in .NET 9
- Define operation summary and description
- Add operationIds using the `WithName` extension method
- Add descriptions to properties and parameters with `[Description()]`
- Set proper content types for requests and responses
- Use document transformers to add elements like servers, tags, and security schemes
- Use schema transformers to apply customizations to OpenAPI schemas

Audit MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations for security issues. Use this skill when: - Reviewing .mcp.json files for security risks - Checking MCP server args for hardcoded secrets or shell injection patterns - Validating that MCP servers use pinned versions (not @latest) - Detecting unpinned dependencies in MCP server configurations - Auditing which MCP servers a project registers and whether they're on an approved list - Checking for environment variable usage vs. hardcoded credentials in MCP configs - Any request like "is my MCP config secure?", "audit my MCP servers", or "check .mcp.json" keywords: [mcp, security, audit, secrets, shell-injection, supply-chain, governance]

Enable code intelligence (go-to-definition, find-references, hover, type info) for any programming language by installing and configuring an LSP server for Copilot CLI. Detects the OS, installs the right server, and generates the JSON configuration (user-level or repo-level). Use when you need deeper code understanding and no LSP server is configured, or when the user asks to set up, install, or configure an LSP server.

gsap-framer-scroll-animation

28865
from github/awesome-copilot

Use this skill whenever the user wants to build scroll animations, scroll effects, parallax, scroll-triggered reveals, pinned sections, horizontal scroll, text animations, or any motion tied to scroll position — in vanilla JS, React, or Next.js. Covers GSAP ScrollTrigger (pinning, scrubbing, snapping, timelines, horizontal scroll, ScrollSmoother, matchMedia) and Framer Motion / Motion v12 (useScroll, useTransform, useSpring, whileInView, variants). Use this skill even if the user just says "animate on scroll", "fade in as I scroll", "make it scroll like Apple", "parallax effect", "sticky section", "scroll progress bar", or "entrance animation". Also triggers for Copilot prompt patterns for GSAP or Framer Motion code generation. Pairs with the premium-frontend-ui skill for creative philosophy and design-level polish.
