CrestApps Agent Skills, Orchard Harvest 2026 survey results - This week in Orchard (13/03/2026)

This week, you can see a demo of the CrestApps.AgentSkills ecosystem by Mike Alhayek, which provides a clean, layered architecture for defining, organizing, and exposing AI skills in .NET, with first-class support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Orchard Core.

But before that, let us quickly mention how Georg von Kries refactored Orchard Core's code to optimize storage for display type locations, or how he obsoleted the synchronous CustomSettingsService.GetSettingsType method to improve performance by avoiding blocking calls, and to prepare the codebase for the future removal of the synchronous API.

Thank you for filling out the Orchard Harvest 2026 survey! Check out our post for the results and the future plans regarding Harvest!

Enhanced Blocks Editor for content creators, Last call: Orchard Harvest 2026 survey - This week in Orchard (06/03/2026)

This week, you can see an interesting demo of the enhanced Blocks Editor, showcasing new features such as in-place block insertion, block duplication, cross-page block copying, and reusable Global Blocks!

But before that, let us quickly mention the newly added Agent Skills directly to Orchard Core for guided workflows!

If you haven't filled it out yet, please take a quick look at the Orchard Harvest 2026 survey that we will close on the 9th of March.

Orchard Harvest 2026 survey, Lombiq Orchard Core Agent Skills - This week in Orchard (27/02/2026)

This week, you can see an interesting demo of the Lombiq Orchard Core Agent Skills repository, which provides enhanced AI-assisted theming with agent skills. But before that, let us quickly mention allowing mailto and tel links in the HTML sanitizer configuration and allowing an override of Reverse Proxy from the configuration! Oh, and did we mention that we have just created a survey for Orchard Harvest 2026?
