About this skill

What it does. Inventories Thread.Abort-related APIs and classifies each use as cancellable work, timeout, blocking interruption, ASP.NET termination or uncooperative code. Replaces them with CancellationToken, cancellable waits, request returns or a separate process, then builds, searches and tests the target project.

When to use it. For projects moving from .NET Framework to .NET 6 or later that control the affected code. Not for projects staying on .NET Framework, code using only Join, Sleep or Start, or third-party libraries you cannot modify.
