About This Skill
What it does
This skill configures the .NET runtime to trust development certificates, enabling secure HTTPS testing without production-grade certificate authorities. It resolves SSL/TLS handshake failures that occur when AI agents attempt to connect to local servers using self-signed or dev certs.
When to use it
- Debugging API endpoints running on
https://localhostwith self-signed certificates. - Validating AI agent connectivity to internal services before deploying to production.
- Automating CI/CD pipelines that require certificate validation for secure builds.
- Testing microservices architectures where mutual TLS (mTLS) is enforced locally.
Key capabilities
- Automatically adds development certificates to the trusted root store.
- Prevents
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestExceptioncaused by untrusted SSL certs. - Supports both Windows and Linux .NET environments.
- Integrates seamlessly with existing .NET application configurations.
Example prompts
- "Configure my .NET app to trust self-signed dev certificates for local HTTPS testing."
- "Fix the SSL error when my AI agent tries to connect to a local API using a dev cert."
- "Set up trusted development certificates in a .NET environment for secure localhost communication."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure you have write permissions to modify the system or user certificate store, as this skill may require elevated privileges. Always revert changes after testing to avoid trusting unverified certificates in production environments.
