Summary

Use the Microsoft.Extensions stack correctly across Generic Host, dependency injection, configuration, logging, options, HttpClientFactory, and other shared infrastructure patterns. USE FOR: wiring dependency injection, configuration, logging, or options; introducing Generic Host

1	# Microsoft.Extensions for .NET

3	## Trigger On
4
5	- wiring dependency injection, configuration, logging, or options
6	- introducing Generic Host patterns into non-web .NET apps
7	- cleaning up service registration, typed HTTP clients, or shared infrastructure code
8
9	## Workflow
10
11	1. Prefer the Generic Host for apps that need configuration, DI, logging, hosted services, or coordinated startup.
12	2. Keep service registration predictable: composition at the edge, concrete implementations hidden behind interfaces only where that abstraction buys flexibility.
13	3. Use options binding for structured configuration and validate configuration at startup when bad settings would fail later at runtime.
14	4. Prefer `IHttpClientFactory` and typed or named clients for outbound HTTP instead of ad-hoc singleton or per-call `HttpClient` usage.
15	5. Use logging categories and config-driven log levels rather than scattered ad-hoc logging behavior.
16	6. For Kubernetes-hosted services, prefer the stable `Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.ResourceMonitoring.Kubernetes` package from the 10.7+ line when CPU/memory request and limit metrics should come from pod resource quotas.
17	7. Avoid building mini-frameworks over Microsoft.Extensions unless the repo genuinely needs reusable composition primitives.
18
19	## Current Upstream Notes
20
21	- `dotnet/extensions` `v10.8.1` is an AI-library servicing release for approval-resume ordering and stateless reasoning state; it does not change the Generic Host, dependency injection, configuration, logging, options, or `IHttpClientFactory` patterns in this skill.
22	- Keep Microsoft.Extensions package versions aligned within the repo's selected servicing line, then rerun host startup and options-validation tests after upgrading.
23
24	## Deliver
25
26	- clean host wiring and service registration
27	- configuration and logging that are observable and testable
28	- infrastructure code that fits naturally with the .NET stack
29
30	## Validate
31
32	- service lifetimes are correct
33	- configuration is strongly typed where it matters
34	- host setup remains easy to debug and reason about
35	- Kubernetes resource monitoring uses the stable quota-provider APIs when pod request/limit dimensions matter
36
37	## References

39	- [patterns.md](references/patterns.md) - DI patterns, Configuration patterns, Options pattern, Logging patterns, HttpClientFactory patterns, Hosted Service patterns
40	- [anti-patterns.md](references/anti-patterns.md) - Common mistakes with DI, configuration, options, logging, HttpClient, and hosted services
