Get the Trusted tick and get found in search under the current names #77

Description

@stphnwlsh

The rename in #76 is parked. CleanMinimalApi.Template has around 75,000 downloads, and new package IDs would start that count again at zero. So the names stay, we ask NuGet to reserve them, and we make the templates as easy to find as we can.

Where each kind of word gets searched:

Where people search What it matches
dotnet new search <word> Any part of the template name or of any short name, nothing else
dotnet new search --tag <tag> and dotnet new list --tag <tag> A whole classification from template.json
nuget.org and dotnet package search Package ID, title, description and PackageTags

So the brand words go in all three places: short name aliases for dotnet new search, a classification for --tag, and package tags for nuget.org.

Phase 1: Ask NuGet

  • Send the prefix reservation email to account@nuget.org from the account that owns the five packages (draft in the project files: nuget/prefix-reservation-email.md). It asks for CleanMinimalApi., CleanModelContextProtocol., CleanGraphQLApi., CleanWebApi. and CleanLambdaFunction. (sent 6 Nov, waiting on NuGet's reply)

Checks: NuGet replies. If they say yes, the packages show the Trusted tick on nuget.org and in dotnet new search clean.

Phase 2: Search words (waiting for approval)

Short names

The first short name never changes. Everything after it is new, apart from cleanmcp. leanmeancleanapps-<x> also matches searches for clean and leanmeanclean; lmca-<x> also matches lmc.

Template Short names
Minimal API cleanminimalapi, cleanminimal, lmca-minimalapi, leanmeancleanapps-minimalapi
MCP cleanmodelcontextprotocol, cleanmcp, lmca-mcp, leanmeancleanapps-mcp
GraphQL cleangraphqlapi, cleangraphql, cleanhotchocolate, lmca-graphql, leanmeancleanapps-graphql
Web API cleanwebapi, cleancontrollers, lmca-webapi, leanmeancleanapps-webapi
Lambda Function cleanlambdafunction, cleanlambda, lmca-lambda, leanmeancleanapps-lambda

Template names (and the package Title)

Template Today After
Minimal API Clean Minimal API Template unchanged
MCP Clean Model Context Protocol (MCP) Template unchanged
GraphQL Clean GraphQL API Template Clean GraphQL API (Hot Chocolate) Template
Web API Clean Web API Template Clean Web API (Controllers) Template
Lambda Function Clean Lambda Function Template Clean AWS Lambda Function Template

Classifications

All five gain Lean Mean Clean Apps, so dotnet new list --tag "Lean Mean Clean Apps" shows the family. GraphQL also gains Hot Chocolate.

Package tags

All five keep today's tags and gain clean, cleanarchitecture, lmc, lmca, leanmeanclean, leanmeancleanapps, project-template, solution-template, net10, dotnet10, sqlite, efcore, serilog and opentelemetry. Then each adds:

Template Extra tags
Minimal API minimalapi, minimal-apis, webapi, api, rest, scalar
MCP modelcontextprotocol, mcp-tools, ai, ai-agents, agents, llm
GraphQL graph, graphql-api, graphql-server, hot-chocolate, chillicream, relay, dataloader, nitro, api
Web API webapi, controllers, mvc, api, rest, scalar
Lambda Function lambda, amazon, lambda-annotations, cloudformation, container-image

Work, one PR per repository on feature/search-words

  • Each template: template.json (short names, name, classifications), template.csproj (Title, PackageTags), the pipeline's Verify Template reads the first short name ([.shortName] | flatten | first, as MCP already does), README and NUGET.md say which short aliases work and that dotnet new search leanmeanclean finds the whole family, and the template-authoring skill describes the alias, classification and tag pattern. Minimal API, MCP, GraphQL and Web API say Part of LeanMeanCleanApps/.github#77; Lambda says Closes LeanMeanCleanApps/.github#77
  • Docs site: each template's options page lists its aliases, and the template names match

Checks: Verify Template passes in every template; locally, dotnet new install ./ then dotnet new search-style checks with dotnet new list lmca, dotnet new list leanmeanclean, dotnet new list graph and dotnet new list --tag "Lean Mean Clean Apps" list what they should. dotnet new search itself only sees nuget.org, so the real check is after the 1 December release.
