What it does

  • Organize endpoints using MapGroup() , endpoint filters, and feature-based folder structures for scalability

  • Define explicit request/response DTOs with validation attributes; use record types and TypedResults for type safety

  • Leverage .NET 9 built-in OpenAPI support with operation summaries, descriptions, operationIds, and property-level documentation via [Description()]

Installation Guide

How to use aspnet-minimal-api-openapi on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your machine
  • Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
  • Active project directory where you want to add aspnet-minimal-api-openapi
2

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill aspnet-minimal-api-openapi

Fetches aspnet-minimal-api-openapi from github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────
│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/aspnet-minimal-api-openapi

Restart Cursor to activate aspnet-minimal-api-openapi. Access via /aspnet-minimal-api-openapi in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Documentation

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

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
  • Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
  • Willingness to iterate and refine outputs

Time Estimate

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Steps

  1. 1Install skill using provided installation command
  2. 2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
  3. 3Evaluate output quality and relevance
  4. 4Iterate on prompts to improve results
  5. 5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable

Common Pitfalls

  • Expecting perfect results without iteration
  • Not providing enough context in prompts
  • Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
  • Accepting outputs without review and validation

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Start with clear, specific prompts
  • +Provide relevant context and constraints
  • +Review and refine all outputs before using
  • +Iterate to improve output quality
  • +Document successful prompt patterns

✗ Don't

  • Don't use without understanding skill limitations
  • Don't skip validation of outputs
  • Don't share sensitive information in prompts
  • Don't expect skill to replace human judgment

💡 Pro Tips

  • Be specific about desired format and style
  • Ask for multiple options to choose from
  • Request explanations to understand reasoning
  • Combine AI efficiency with human expertise

When to Use This

✓ Use when

Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.

✗ Avoid when

Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

Learning Path

  1. 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
  2. 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
  3. 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
  4. 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
