+# .NET Repository
+
+**Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.**
+
+## Working Effectively
+
+### Essential Build Commands
+- **Restore dependencies**: `dotnet restore`
+
+- **Build the entire solution**: `dotnet build`
+
+- **Run tests**: `dnx --yes retest`
+  - Runs all unit tests across the solution
+  - If tests fail due to Azure Storage, run the following commands and retry: `npm install azurite` and `npx azurite &`
+
+### Build Validation and CI Requirements
+- **Always run before committing**: 
+  * `dnx --yes retest`
+  * `dotnet format whitespace -v:diag --exclude ~/.nuget`
+  * `dotnet format style -v:diag --exclude ~/.nuget`
+
+### Project Structure and Navigation
+
+| Directory | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `src/` | Contains the repo source code. |
+| `bin/` | Contains built packages (if any) |
+
+### Code Style and Formatting
+
+#### EditorConfig Rules
+The repository uses `.editorconfig` at the repo root for consistent code style.
+
+- **Indentation**: 4 spaces for C# files, 2 spaces for XML/YAML/JSON
+- **Line endings**: LF (Unix-style)
+- **Sort using directives**: System.* namespaces first (`dotnet_sort_system_directives_first = true`)
+- **Type references**: Prefer language keywords over framework type names (`int` vs `Int32`)
+- **Modern C# features**: Use object/collection initializers, coalesce expressions when possible, use var when the type is apparent from the right-hand side of the assignment
+- **Visibility modifiers**: only explicitly specify visibility when different from the default (e.g. `public` for classes, no `internal` for classes or `private` for fields, etc.)
+
+#### Formatting Validation
+- CI enforces formatting with `dotnet format whitespace` and `dotnet format style`
+- Run locally: `dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes -v:diag --exclude ~/.nuget`
+- Fix formatting: `dotnet format` (without `--verify-no-changes`)
+
+### Testing Practices
+
+#### Test Framework
+- **xUnit** for all unit and integration tests
+- **Moq** for mocking dependencies
+- Located in `src/*.Tests/`
+
+#### Test Attributes
+Custom xUnit attributes are sometimes used for conditional test execution:
+- `[SecretsFact("XAI_API_KEY")]` - Skips test if required secrets are missing from user secrets or environment variables
+- `[LocalFact("SECRET")]` - Runs only locally (skips in CI), requires specified secrets
+- `[CIFact]` - Runs only in CI environment
+
+### Dependency Management
+
+#### Adding Dependencies
+- Add to appropriate `.csproj` file
+- Run `dotnet restore` to update dependencies
+- Ensure version consistency across projects where applicable
+
+#### CI/CD Pipeline
+- **Build workflow**: `.github/workflows/build.yml` - runs on PR and push to main/rel/feature branches
+- **Publish workflow**: Publishes to Sleet feed when `SLEET_CONNECTION` secret is available
+- **OS matrix**: Configured in `.github/workflows/os-matrix.json` (defaults to ubuntu-latest)
+
+### Special Files and Tools
+
+#### dnx Command
+- **Purpose**: built-in tool for running arbitrary dotnet tools that are published on nuget.org. `--yes` auto-confirms install before run.
+- **Example**: `dnx --yes retest` - runs tests with automatic retry on transient failures (retest being a tool package published at https://www.nuget.org/packages/retest)
+- **In CI**: `dnx --yes retest -- --no-build` (skips build, runs tests only)
+
+#### Directory.Build.rsp
+- MSBuild response file with default build arguments
+- `-nr:false` - disables node reuse
+- `-m:1` - single-threaded build (for stability)
+- `-v:m` - minimal verbosity
+
+#### Code Quality
+- All PRs must pass format validation
+- Tests must pass on all target frameworks
+- Follow existing patterns and conventions in the codebase
+
+## Documenting Work
+
+Project implemention details, design and key decisions should be documented in a top-level AGENTS.md file at the repo root. 
+Keep this file updated whenever you make change significant changes for future reference.
+
+User-facing features and APIs should be documented to highlight (not extensively, as an overview) key project features and capabilities, in the readme.md file at the repo root.
