## What it is
A .NET project template implementing Clean Architecture for ASP.NET Core applications, installable via `dotnet new`. It ships with layered structure, authentication/authorization patterns, domain events, and a full testing setup.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new .NET web api with clean architecture
- template for asp.net core rest api project structure
- learn how to structure a dotnet application with domain layers
- starting point for a jwt-authenticated asp.net core service
- example of role-based and permission-based authorization in dotnet
- set up unit and integration tests for a layered .net app

## When to choose
- starting a new ASP.NET Core backend and wanting a proven layered architecture
- learning or teaching clean architecture patterns in .NET
- you want auth, domain events, and testing wired up out of the box

## When to avoid
- your project is a small script or simple tool where layering adds overhead
- you use a stack other than .NET/C#
- your team follows a different architectural style or existing conventions

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, auth, authorization, testing, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, apis
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: clean-architecture, dotnet-template, asp-net-core, project-template, software-architecture, boilerplate, boilerplate, docker
