What it does

Migrate a .NET 9 project or solution to .NET 10 and resolve all breaking changes. USE FOR: upgrading TargetFramework from net9.0 to net10.0, fixing build errors after updating the .NET 10 SDK, resolving source and behavioral changes in .NET 10 / C# 14 / ASP.NET Core 10 / EF Core 10, updating Dockerfiles for Debian-to-Ubuntu base images, resolving obsoletion warnings (SYSLIB0058-SYSLIB0062), adapting to SDK/NuGet changes (NU1510, PrunePackageReference), migrating System.Linq.Async to built-in AsyncEnumerable, fixing OpenApi v2 API changes, cryptography renames, and C# 14 compiler changes (field keyword, extension keyword, span overloads). DO NOT USE FOR: .NET Framework migrations, upgrading from .NET 8 or earlier (use migrate-dotnet8-to-dotnet9 first), greenfield .NET 10 projects, or cosmetic modernization. LOADS REFERENCES: csharp-compiler, core-libraries, sdk-msbuild (always); aspnet-core, efcore, cryptography, extensions-hosting, serialization-networking, winforms-wpf, containers-interop (selective).

.NET 9 → .NET 10 Migration

Migrate a .NET 9 project or solution to .NET 10, systematically resolving all breaking changes. The outcome is a project targeting net10.0 that builds cleanly, passes tests, and accounts for every behavioral, source-incompatible, and binary-incompatible change introduced in the .NET 10 release.

When to Use

  • Upgrading TargetFramework from net9.0 to net10.0
  • Resolving build errors or new warnings after updating the .NET 10 SDK
  • Adapting to behavioral changes in .NET 10 runtime, ASP.NET Core 10, or EF Core 10
  • Updating CI/CD pipelines, Dockerfiles, or deployment scripts for .NET 10
  • Migrating from the community System.Linq.Async package to the built-in System.Linq.AsyncEnumerable

When Not to Use

  • The project already targets net10.0 and builds cleanly, migration is done
  • Upgrading from .NET 8 or earlier, use the migrate-dotnet8-to-dotnet9 skill first to reach net9.0, then return to this skill for the net9.0 → net10.0 migration
  • Migrating from .NET Framework, that is a separate, larger effort
  • Greenfield projects that start on .NET 10 (no migration needed)
