+description: Generate or scaffold ASP.NET Core code — Razor Pages, Blazor components, MVC controllers, views, and Minimal API endpoints — without CLI tools. Use when (1) adding CRUD pages, views, or API endpoints backed by Entity Framework (EF Core) and a database, (2) generating code to create, read, update, and delete data using a DbContext, (3) scaffolding UI components that match the project's existing CSS framework and coding patterns, or (4) creating data-driven forms, tables, and navigation for a model class. Do not use for non-ASP.NET projects or when CLI-based scaffolding is preferred.

+
+# Generate or Scaffold ASP.NET Core Code
+
+Generate ASP.NET Core scaffolded code — controllers, views, Razor Pages, Blazor components, Minimal API endpoints. The generated code matches the project's existing CSS framework, layout conventions, and coding patterns. No CLI scaffolding tools are used.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Adding CRUD pages, views, or components for a model in an ASP.NET Core project
+- Scaffolding API controllers or Minimal API endpoints with Entity Framework Core
+- Generating Razor Pages, MVC views, or Blazor components backed by a DbContext
+
+## When Not to Use
+
+- The project is not an ASP.NET Core project
+- You need to scaffold non-web artifacts (class libraries, console apps, etc.)
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Required | Description |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| Scaffolding request | Yes | Natural-language description of what to scaffold (see format below) |
+| Project file path | Yes | Full path to the target `.csproj` file |
+| Solution root path | Recommended | Full path to the solution root for multi-project solutions |
+
+### Scaffolding Request Format
+
+The scaffolding request should be a natural-language description of what to scaffold. The request must include the target project path and enough detail for the agent to generate the correct code. Examples:
+
+**Razor Pages with EF:**
+```
+Scaffold Razor Pages with CRUD for the `<ModelName>` model (from `<Namespace>`) in project `<path-to-csproj>`.
+Create a new DbContext `<DbContextName>` using <database-provider>.
+Also scaffold CRUD for any entity that `<ModelName>` depends on via required foreign keys, so parent entities can be created first.
+```
+
+**Blazor CRUD components:**
+```
+Scaffold Blazor CRUD components for the `<ModelName>` model (from `<Namespace>`) in project `<path-to-csproj>`.
+Create a new DbContext `<DbContextName>` using <database-provider>.
+```
+
+**Minimal API endpoints:**
+```
+Scaffold Minimal API endpoints for the `<ModelName>` model (from `<Namespace>`) in project `<path-to-csproj>`.
+Name the endpoints class `<EndpointsClassName>`.
+Create a new DbContext `<DbContextName>` using <database-provider>.
+Enable OpenAPI support.
+```
+
+**MVC Controller with views:**
+```
+Scaffold an MVC controller with views and Entity Framework for the `<ModelName>` model (from `<Namespace>`) in project `<path-to-csproj>`.
+Name the controller `<ControllerName>`.
+Use existing DbContext `<DbContextName>`.
+Generate views.
+```
+
+**Empty items (no EF):**
+```
+Scaffold an empty Razor Page named `<PageName>` in project `<path-to-csproj>`.
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Understand the Scaffolding Request
+
+Parse the scaffolding request to identify:
+- **Scaffolder type**: Razor Pages, Blazor components, MVC controller, Minimal API, empty page/view/component
+- **Model class** and its namespace
+- **DbContext**: new or existing, database provider (SQLite, SQL Server, etc.)
+- **Named items**: controller name, endpoints class name, page name, view name, area name
+- **Options**: OpenAPI, async actions, partial view, custom layout
+- **FK scope**: whether to also scaffold CRUD for parent entities referenced by required foreign keys
+
+### Step 2: Discover UI Style (non-API scaffolders only)
+
+Skip this step for API controllers and Minimal API endpoints.
+
+1. Inspect the project's layout file (`_Layout.cshtml`, `MainLayout.razor`, or equivalent)
+2. Inspect the main CSS file (`site.css`, `app.css`, Tailwind config, etc.)
+3. Inspect 1–2 existing pages, views, or components in the project
+
+All generated files MUST match the existing UI framework, CSS classes, and conventions. If Bootstrap is used, generate Bootstrap markup. If Tailwind is used, generate Tailwind markup.
+
+### Step 3: Apply Blazor-Specific Rules (Blazor scaffolders only)
+
+Skip this step for non-Blazor scaffolders.
+
+- `[SupplyParameterFromForm]` properties MUST use `= new()` (not `null!`) — prevents `EditForm` crash on initial GET
+- `Program.cs` must chain `.AddInteractiveServerComponents()` on `AddRazorComponents()` and `.AddInteractiveServerRenderMode()` on `MapRazorComponents<App>()`
+- Do not replace existing chained render mode calls (e.g., `.AddInteractiveWebAssemblyRenderMode()`)
+
+### Step 4: Generate Code
+
+Generate all code files manually. Follow these constraints:
+
+- **DO NOT** use any scaffolding CLI tools
+- **DO NOT** add packages beyond those required for the scaffolded functionality (e.g., do not add `RuntimeCompilation`, or other convenience packages)
+- Match the coding style of existing files in the project (naming conventions, indentation, namespace patterns)
+
+#### Enrich API Endpoints with OpenAPI Metadata (API scaffolders only)
+
+When generating Minimal API or MVC API endpoints with OpenAPI support enabled, add rich metadata to every endpoint so the OpenAPI document is descriptive and useful:
+
+- `.WithName("GetTodoItems")` — unique operation ID for each endpoint
+- `.WithTags("TodoItems")` — group endpoints by resource
+- `.WithDescription("Returns all todo items")` — human-readable summary
+- `.Produces<List<TodoItem>>(StatusCodes.Status200OK)` — document success response type
+- `.Produces(StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)` — document error responses
+- `.ProducesValidationProblem()` — for endpoints that validate input
+- `.WithOpenApi()` — opt the endpoint into OpenAPI generation (if not already globally enabled)
+
+Example for a Minimal API GET endpoint:
+```csharp
+group.MapGet("/", async (TodoDbContext db) =>
+        await db.TodoItems.ToListAsync())
+    .WithName("GetAllTodoItems")
+    .WithTags("TodoItems")
+    .WithDescription("Returns all todo items")
+    .Produces<List<TodoItem>>(StatusCodes.Status200OK);
+```
+
+### Step 5: Set Up Entity Framework (if applicable)
+
+Skip this step if the scaffolding request does not involve Entity Framework.
+
+- **DO NOT** seed the database in `Program.cs` — always use migrations
+- For `dotnet ef`: prefer `dotnet tool restore` from a local tool manifest. Only install globally if no manifest exists
+- Inspect the model for navigation properties and foreign keys. Ensure CRUD endpoints/pages exist for referenced entities
+- For API scaffolders: the `.http` file MUST create parent entities before child entities. Use FK values consistent with creation order
+
+### Step 6: Generate .http File (API scaffolders only)
+
+Skip this step for non-API scaffolders.
+
+1. Create a `.http` file named `{ModelName}.http` in the project directory. If a file with that name exists, append a numeric suffix (`Product2.http`, `Product3.http`) until unique
+2. Include sample requests for every CRUD endpoint scaffolded, including endpoints for parent/dependent entities
+3. Every request must target the correct URL path matching an actual mapped endpoint
+4. Request labels must accurately describe the action (e.g., "Create a category" must POST to the categories endpoint)
+5. Order requests by dependency: create parent entities before child entities
+6. POST payloads for child entities MUST use foreign key values matching IDs from parent entity creation requests
+7. Do NOT use placeholder or assumed FK values
+
+### Step 7: Verify
+
+1. Run `dotnet restore && dotnet build` from the project directory
+2. If Entity Framework is used:
+   - Run `dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate`
+   - Run `dotnet ef database update`
+3. If API scaffolder:
+   - Inspect `Properties/launchSettings.json` — if a profile named `https` exists, use `dotnet run --launch-profile https`
+   - Execute EVERY `.http` request one at a time in dependency order
+   - Report method, URL, and status code for each request
+   - Stop and fix if any request returns non-2xx
+4. Fix all errors until a clean build succeeds
+
+## Validation
+
+- [ ] All generated files match the project's existing CSS framework and conventions
+- [ ] `dotnet build` succeeds with zero errors
+- [ ] EF migrations apply cleanly (if applicable)
+- [ ] All `.http` requests return 2xx status codes (if API scaffolder)
+- [ ] No forbidden packages were added (`RuntimeCompilation`, etc.)
+- [ ] No CLI scaffolding tools were invoked
+- [ ] Blazor `[SupplyParameterFromForm]` properties use `= new()` (if Blazor scaffolder)
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Generated UI doesn't match project's CSS framework | Always inspect layout and CSS files before generating code (Step 2) |
+| Blazor `EditForm` crashes on initial GET | Use `= new()` not `null!` for `[SupplyParameterFromForm]` properties |
+| EF migration fails due to missing parent entity CRUD | Scaffold CRUD for FK-dependent entities when request mentions foreign keys |
+| `.http` file has wrong FK values | Order requests by dependency; use values consistent with creation order |
+| `dotnet ef` not found | Try `dotnet tool restore` first; only install globally as fallback |
+| Added unnecessary packages | Only add packages explicitly required for the scaffolded functionality |
+| Generated code uses different naming conventions | Inspect existing project files to match naming patterns before generating |
