migrating-cryptography-namespaces Skill
Migrates System.Security.Cryptography namespace usage from .NET Framework to modern .NET. Analyzes C source files to detect cryptographic type usage and adds the correct using statements and NuGet packages after the namespace split (X509Certificates, Pkcs, Xml). Use when upgrading .NET Framework projects that reference Published by microsoft in upgrade-agent-plugins.

Skill instructions
System.Security.Cryptography Migration Overview In modern .NET, System.Security.Cryptography was split: certificate types moved to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates, CMS/PKCS types to System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs (separate NuGet package), and XML signature types to System.Security.Cryptography.Xml (separate NuGet package). This skill maps each type to its correct namespace and determines which NuGet packages to add. Workflow Migration Progress: - [ ] Step 1: Detect target framework - [ ] Step 2: Scan source files - [ ] Step 3: Analyze type usage - [ ] Step 4: Add required using statements - [ ] Step 5: Add required NuGet packages - [ ] Step 6: Verify build Step 1: Detect Target Framework Read <TargetFramework or <TargetFrameworks from the project file or Directory.Build.props. If the user specifies a target framework, use that instead. Step 2: Scan Source Files Search for files containing these using statements: - using System.Security.Cryptography; - using System.Secu
