1	# .NET/C# Best Practices
2
3	Your task is to ensure .NET/C# code in ${selection} meets the best practices specific to this solution/project. This includes:
4
5	## Documentation & Structure
6
7	- Create comprehensive XML documentation comments for all public classes, interfaces, methods, and properties
8	- Include parameter descriptions and return value descriptions in XML comments
9	- Follow the established namespace structure: {Core\|Console\|App\|Service}.{Feature}
10
11	## Design Patterns & Architecture
12
13	- Use primary constructor syntax for dependency injection (e.g., `public class MyClass(IDependency dependency)`)
14	- Implement the Command Handler pattern with generic base classes (e.g., `CommandHandler<TOptions>`)
15	- Use interface segregation with clear naming conventions (prefix interfaces with 'I')
16	- Follow the Factory pattern for complex object creation.
17
18	## Dependency Injection & Services
19
20	- Use constructor dependency injection with null checks via ArgumentNullException
21	- Register services with appropriate lifetimes (Singleton, Scoped, Transient)
22	- Use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection patterns
23	- Implement service interfaces for testability
24
25	## Resource Management & Localization
26
27	- Use ResourceManager for localized messages and error strings
28	- Separate LogMessages and ErrorMessages resource files
29	- Access resources via `_resourceManager.GetString("MessageKey")`
30
31	## Async/Await Patterns
32
33	- Use async/await for all I/O operations and long-running tasks
34	- Return Task or Task<T> from async methods
35	- Use ConfigureAwait(false) where appropriate
36	- Handle async exceptions properly
37
38	## Testing Standards
39
40	- Use MSTest framework with FluentAssertions for assertions
41	- Follow AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
42	- Use Moq for mocking dependencies
43	- Test both success and failure scenarios
44	- Include null parameter validation tests
45
46	## Configuration & Settings
47
48	- Use strongly-typed configuration classes with data annotations
49	- Implement validation attributes (Required, NotEmptyOrWhitespace)
50	- Use IConfiguration binding for settings
51	- Support appsettings.json configuration files
52
53	## Semantic Kernel & AI Integration
54
55	- Use Microsoft.SemanticKernel for AI operations
56	- Implement proper kernel configuration and service registration
57	- Handle AI model settings (ChatCompletion, Embedding, etc.)
58	- Use structured output patterns for reliable AI responses
59
60	## Error Handling & Logging
61
62	- Use structured logging with Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
63	- Include scoped logging with meaningful context
64	- Throw specific exceptions with descriptive messages
65	- Use try-catch blocks for expected failure scenarios
66
67	## Performance & Security
68
69	- Use C# 12+ features and .NET 8 optimizations where applicable
70	- Implement proper input validation and sanitization
71	- Use parameterized queries for database operations
72	- Follow secure coding practices for AI/ML operations
73
74	## Code Quality
75
76	- Ensure SOLID principles compliance
77	- Avoid code duplication through base classes and utilities
78	- Use meaningful names that reflect domain concepts
79	- Keep methods focused and cohesive
80	- Implement proper disposal patterns for resources
