Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
The aspire-service-defaults skill provides default configuration settings for Aspire services within the .NET ecosystem. It streamlines project setup by applying consistent baseline parameters across multiple microservices without requiring manual intervention for each instance.
When to use it
- Initializing new multi-service .NET applications that require uniform service configurations.
- Establishing a standardized environment for development, testing, and production deployments.
- Reducing configuration drift between different instances of the same Aspire service.
- Accelerating onboarding for teams by enforcing best-practice defaults immediately upon project creation.
Key capabilities
- Applies global default settings to all registered Aspire services automatically.
- Ensures consistency in connection strings, health check endpoints, and logging levels.
- Integrates seamlessly with the .NET Aspire dashboard for centralized management.
- Eliminates repetitive configuration code across service definitions.
Example prompts
- "Set up default configurations for my new Aspire project using
aspire-service-defaults." - "Apply standard service defaults to ensure all my microservices use consistent health check settings."
- "Configure the Aspire environment with baseline defaults before adding custom logic to my services."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your .NET SDK version is compatible with the latest Aspire release, as default configurations may change between major versions. While this skill sets strong baselines, always review generated configuration files to verify they align with specific security or compliance requirements for your organization.
