Get best practices for C# async programming
What this skill does
# C# Async Programming Best Practices Your goal is to help me follow best practices for asynchronous programming in C#. ## Naming Conventions - Use the 'Async' suffix for all async methods - Match method names with their synchronous counterparts when applicable (e.g., `GetDataAsync()` for `GetData()`) ## Return Types - Return `Task<T>` when the method returns a value - Return `Task` when the method doesn't return a value - Consider `ValueTask<T>` for high-performance scenarios to reduce allocations - Avoid returning `void` for async methods except for event handlers ## Exception Handling - Use try/catch blocks around await expressions - Avoid swallowing exceptions in async methods - Use `ConfigureAwait(false)` when appropriate to prevent deadlocks in library code - Propagate exceptions with `Task.FromException()` instead of throwing in async Task returning methods ## Performance - Use `Task.WhenAll()` for parallel execution of multiple tasks - Use `Task.WhenAny()` for implementing timeouts or taking the first completed task - Avoid unnecessary async/await when simply passing through task results - Consider cancellation tokens for long-running operations ## Common Pitfalls - Never use `.Wait()`, `.Result`, or `.GetAwaiter().GetResult()` in async code - Avoid mixing blocking and async code - Don't create async void methods (except for event handlers) - Always await Task-returning methods ## Implementation Patterns - Implement the async command pattern for long-running operations - Use async streams (IAsyncEnumerable<T>) for processing sequences asynchronously - Consider the task-based asynchronous pattern (TAP) for public APIs When reviewing my C# code, identify these issues and suggest improvements that follow these best practices.

IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
