# C# Concurrency Patterns

Pick the right way to do two things at once in .NET

## What this does

When a program has to juggle several things at once, .NET offers a handful of very different tools and picking wrongly makes a mess. This helps you choose which one fits the job in front of you. Reach for it when you are about to reach for a lock and are not sure you should.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Help me choose between async, channels, and actors
- Untangle code that leans on locks
- Sort out producer and consumer work

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About C# Concurrency Patterns

There is more than one concurrency abstraction in .NET and they are not interchangeable. This skill walks the choice: async/await where the work is I/O, Channels where one part produces and another consumes, Akka.NET where entities carry state.

The guiding stance is that locks and manual synchronization are a last resort, not a starting point, and should only appear when nothing else will do.

## Questions

### Is C# Concurrency Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of C# Concurrency Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 316756fb309b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/csharp-concurrency-patterns.

### How do I install C# Concurrency Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/csharp-concurrency-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills/tree/316756fb309b9ee42d86d5db0d70504d62f3b0c3/skills/csharp-concurrency-patterns. Install from that link, not the branch.
