Generate DTO for entity: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Parse arguments:

   • Entity name (required): e.g., Employee, TextSnippetText
   • Options: --with-mapping (include MapToEntity), --minimal (core props only)

2. Find the entity:

   • Search in *.Domain/Entities/ folders
   • Read the entity class to understand its properties

3. Generate DTO following platform patterns:

   Location: *.Application/EntityDtos/<EntityName>Dto.cs

   Template:

```csharp
public class {Entity}Dto : PlatformEntityDto<{Entity}, string>
{
    // Empty constructor required
    public {Entity}Dto() { }

    // Constructor maps from entity
    public {Entity}Dto({Entity} entity) : base(entity)
    {
        // Map core properties
    }

    // CORE PROPERTIES
    public string? Id { get; set; }
    // ... other properties from entity

    // OPTIONAL LOAD PROPERTIES (for With* methods)
    public RelatedDto? Related { get; set; }

    // WITH* FLUENT METHODS
    public {Entity}Dto WithRelated(RelatedEntity related)
    {
        Related = new RelatedDto(related);
        return this;
    }

    // PLATFORM OVERRIDES
    protected override object? GetSubmittedId() => Id;
    protected override string GenerateNewId() => Ulid.NewUlid().ToString();
    protected override {Entity} MapToEntity({Entity} entity, MapToEntityModes mode)
    {
        // Map DTO properties back to entity
        return entity;
    }
}
```

4. Read the template file for complete pattern: - .github/prompts/create-entity-dto.prompt.md

1. After generation:
   • Show the generated DTO
   • Ask if any properties should be excluded or modified
   • Offer to create the file

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes

• Always plan and break many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
