Skill instructions
Entity Framework DbContext Registration Migration Overview Migrates DbContext initialization from legacy ASP.NET patterns (Global.asax, Startup.cs) to ASP.NET Core DI in Program.cs. The registration pattern differs between EF6 and EF Core — this skill handles both, including the decision point when a project uses both simultaneously. Prerequisites Verify the project uses Entity Framework before proceeding. Search for DbContext subclasses in the codebase and check NuGet references for EntityFramework or Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore. If neither is found, skip and inform the user. Dual EF Usage Decision When both EntityFramework and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore packages are present, pause and ask the user which to use for main database logic. Common scenarios: - EF Core for Identity only: User added EF Core for ASP.NET Core Identity but wants EF6 for business data (saves refactoring effort during initial migration) - Mid-refactoring: User plans to fully switch to EF Core but hasn't remo
