Skill instructions
C Language Modernization Skill Upgrade C source code to use language features available in a target C version. This skill handles both single-version upgrades and multi-version jumps (e.g., C 7.0 → C 13), applying features cumulatively from each intermediate version. The workflow is designed to minimize token usage: mechanical changes are batched through dotnet format (zero LLM tokens), while the LLM focuses on judgment-heavy transformations that require semantic understanding. Entry points This skill supports two invocation modes: Standalone invocation The user directly asks to modernize C code. The skill handles everything: version detection, assessment, transformation, and reporting. Sub-step invocation (from parent scenario) A parent scenario (e.g., TFM upgrade) invokes this skill with a known version range. When the version range is already determined by the caller, skip Step 1 (version detection) and begin at Step 2 (load references). The parent scenario provides: - Source C vers
