About dotnet-ui

dotnet-ui is a .NET UI development skill for developers choosing or building interfaces with Blazor, MAUI, Uno Platform, WPF, WinUI 3, and WinForms. It routes topics to focused guidance on architecture, platform deployment, accessibility, localization, and testing.

Key features

01Guidance across six .NET UI frameworks
02Framework selection decision tree
03Component and XAML architecture patterns
04Accessibility and localization practices
05Framework-specific testing guidance

Use cases

01Choosing a .NET UI framework
02Building Blazor or MAUI interfaces
03Modernizing WPF or WinForms apps
04Adding accessibility and localization

MCP support

The skill includes guidance on Uno Platform MCP tool detection and search-then-fetch workflows.

Overview

.NET UI development across Blazor, MAUI, Uno Platform, WPF, WinUI 3, and WinForms. This skill covers framework selection, component architecture, XAML patterns, MVVM, platform-specific deployment, accessibility, and localization. Each framework area has a dedicated companion file with deep guidance.
