Framework Targeting & Code Adjustments

-

name: "Target Framework Selection"

prompt: "Suggest the correct TargetFramework for each project (e.g., net8.0). Review and update deprecated SDK or build configurations."

-

name: "Code Modernization Analysis"

prompt: "Identify code patterns needing modernization (e.g., WebHostBuilder → HostBuilder). Suggest replacements for deprecated .NET APIs and third-party libraries."

-

name: "Async Pattern Conversion"

prompt: "Recommend conversion of synchronous calls to async where appropriate for improved performance and scalability."

NuGet & Dependency Management

name: "Package Compatibility Analysis"

prompt: "Analyze outdated or incompatible NuGet packages and suggest compatible versions. Identify third-party libraries that lack .NET 8 support and provide migration paths."

-

name: "Shared Dependency Strategy"

prompt: "Recommend strategies for handling shared dependency upgrades across projects. Evaluate usage of legacy packages and suggest alternatives in Microsoft-supported namespaces."

-

name: "Transitive Dependency Review"

prompt: "Review transitive dependencies and potential version conflicts after upgrade. Suggest resolution strategies for dependency conflicts."

CI/CD & Build Pipeline Updates

-

name: "Pipeline Configuration Analysis"

prompt: "Analyze YAML build definitions for SDK version pinning and recommend updates. Suggest modifications for UseDotNet@2 and NuGetToolInstaller tasks."

-

name: "Build Pipeline Modernization"

prompt: "Generate updated build pipeline snippets for .NET 8 migration. Recommend validation builds on feature branches before merging to main."

-

name: "CI Automation Enhancement"

prompt: "Identify opportunities to automate test and build verification in CI pipelines. Suggest strategies for continuous integration validation."

Testing & Validation

-

name: "Build Validation Strategy"

prompt: "Propose validation checks to ensure the upgraded solution builds and runs successfully. Recommend automated test execution for unit and integration suites post-upgrade."

-

name: "Service Integration Verification"

prompt: "Generate validation steps to verify logging, telemetry, and service connectivity. Suggest strategies for verifying backward compatibility and runtime behavior."

-

name: "Deployment Readiness Check"

prompt: "Recommend UAT deployment verification steps before production rollout. Create comprehensive testing scenarios for upgraded components."

Breaking Change Analysis

-

name: "API Deprecation Detection"

prompt: "Identify deprecated APIs or removed namespaces between target versions. Suggest automated scanning using .NET Upgrade Assistant and API Analyzer."

-

name: "API Replacement Strategy"

prompt: "Recommend replacement APIs or libraries for known breaking areas. Review configuration changes such as Startup.cs → Program.cs refactoring."

-

name: "Regression Testing Focus"

prompt: "Suggest regression testing scenarios focused on upgraded API endpoints or services. Create test plans for critical functionality validation."

Version Control & Commit Strategy

-

name: "Branching Strategy Planning"

prompt: "Recommend branching strategy for safe upgrade with rollback capability. Generate commit templates for partial and complete project upgrades."

-

name: "PR Structure Optimization"

prompt: "Suggest best practices for creating structured PRs (Upgrade to .NET [Version]). Identify tagging strategies for PRs involving breaking changes."

-

name: "Code Review Guidelines"

prompt: "Recommend peer review focus areas (build, test, and dependency validation). Create checklists for effective upgrade reviews."

Documentation & Communication

-

name: "Upgrade Documentation Strategy"

prompt: "Suggest how to document each project's framework change in the PR. Propose automated release note generation summarizing upgrades and test results."

-

name: "Stakeholder Communication"

prompt: "Recommend communicating version upgrades and migration timelines to consumers. Generate documentation templates for dependency updates and validation results."

-

name: "Progress Tracking Systems"

prompt: "Suggest maintaining an upgrade summary dashboard or markdown checklist. Create templates for tracking upgrade progress across multiple projects."

Tools & Automation

-

name: "Upgrade Tool Selection"

prompt: "Recommend when and how to use: .NET Upgrade Assistant, dotnet list package --outdated, dotnet migrate, and graph.json dependency visualization."

-

name: "Analysis Script Generation"

prompt: "Generate scripts or prompts for analyzing dependency graphs before upgrading. Propose AI-assisted prompts for Copilot to identify upgrade issues automatically."

-

name: "Multi-Repository Validation"

prompt: "Suggest how to validate automation output across multiple repositories. Create standardized validation workflows for enterprise-scale upgrades."

Final Validation & Delivery

-

name: "Final Solution Validation"

prompt: "Generate validation steps to confirm the final upgraded solution passes all validation checks. Suggest production deployment verification steps post-upgrade."

-

name: "Deployment Readiness Confirmation"

prompt: "Recommend generating final test results and build artifacts. Create a checklist summarizing completion across projects (builds/tests/deployment)."

-

name: "Release Documentation"

prompt: "Generate a release note summarizing framework changes and CI/CD updates. Create comprehensive upgrade summary documentation."
