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. Shared-database check (do this first) Before changing any registration, determine whether the .NET Framework host stays live against the same database. Check whether the old project's .config and the new host's configuration resolve to the same database, and whether the old host is still deployed. If they share a database, load managing-shared-database-schema now and follow it — getinstructions(kind='skill', qu
