Use the open-source CodeQL ecosystem for .NET security analysis. Use when a repo needs CodeQL query packs, CLI-based analysis on open source codebases, or GitHub Action setup with explicit licensing caveats for private repositories.
Use free built-in .NET maintainability analyzers and code metrics configuration to find overly complex methods and coupled code. Use when a repo needs cyclomatic complexity checks, maintainability thresholds, or complexity-driven refactoring gates.
Use the open-source free coverlet toolchain for .NET code coverage. Use when a repo needs line and branch coverage, collector versus MSBuild driver selection, or CI-safe coverage commands.
Use the open-source free CSharpier formatter for C# and XML. Use when a .NET repo intentionally wants one opinionated formatter instead of a highly configurable dotnet format-driven style model.
Write modern, version-aware C# for .NET repositories. Use when choosing language features across C# versions, especially C# 13 and C# 14, while staying compatible with the repo's target framework and LangVersion.
Use the free first-party dotnet format CLI for .NET formatting and analyzer fixes. Use when a .NET repo needs formatting commands, --verify-no-changes CI checks, or .editorconfig-driven code style enforcement.
Use the open-source free Meziantou.Analyzer package for design, usage, security, performance, and style rules in .NET. Use when a repo wants broader analyzer coverage with a single NuGet package.
Write, run, or repair .NET tests that use MSTest. Use when a repo uses MSTest.Sdk, MSTest, [TestClass], [TestMethod], DataRow, or Microsoft.Testing.Platform-based MSTest execution.
Use the open-source free NetArchTest.Rules library for architecture rules in .NET unit tests. Use when a repo wants lightweight, fluent architecture assertions for namespaces, dependencies, or layering.
Use the free official .NET diagnostics CLI tools for profiling and runtime investigation in .NET repositories. Use when a repo needs CPU tracing, live counters, GC and allocation investigation, exception or contention tracing, heap snapshots, or startup diagnostics without GUI-only tooling.
Set up or refine open-source .NET code-quality gates for CI: formatting, .editorconfig, SDK analyzers, third-party analyzers, coverage, mutation testing, architecture tests, and security scanning. Use when a .NET repo needs an explicit quality stack in AGENTS.md, docs, or pipeline YAML.
Use the open-source free QuickDup clone detector for .NET repositories. Use when a repo needs duplicate C# code discovery, structural clone detection, DRY refactoring candidates, or repeatable duplication scans in local workflows and CI.
Use the open-source free ReportGenerator tool for turning .NET coverage outputs into HTML, Markdown, Cobertura, badges, and merged reports. Use when raw coverage files are not readable enough for CI or human review.
Use the free official JetBrains ReSharper Command Line Tools for .NET repositories. Use when a repo wants powerful jb inspectcode inspections, jb cleanupcode cleanup profiles, solution-level .DotSettings enforcement, or a stronger CLI quality gate for C# than the default SDK analyzers alone.
Use the open-source free Roslynator analyzer packages and optional CLI for .NET. Use when a repo wants broad C# static analysis, auto-fix flows, dead-code detection, optional CLI checks, or extra rules beyond the SDK analyzers.
Use the open-source free Stryker.NET mutation testing tool for .NET. Use when a repo needs to measure whether tests actually catch faults, especially in critical libraries or domains.
Use the open-source free StyleCop.Analyzers package for naming, layout, documentation, and style rules in .NET projects. Use when a repo wants stricter style conventions than the SDK analyzers alone provide.
Write, run, or repair .NET tests that use TUnit. Use when a repo uses TUnit, [Test], [Arguments], source-generated test projects, or Microsoft.Testing.Platform-based execution.
Write, run, or repair .NET tests that use xUnit. Use when a repo uses xunit, xunit.v3, [Fact], [Theory], or xunit.runner.visualstudio, and you need the right CLI, package, and runner guidance for xUnit on VSTest or Microsoft.Testing.Platform.
Primary entry skill for C# and .NET tasks. Detect the repo's language version, test runner, quality stack, and architecture rules; route to the right .NET subskills; and run the repo-defined post-change quality pass after any code change. Use when the user asks to implement, debug, review, or refactor .NET code, or…
Create or update a feature spec under docs/Features/ with business rules, user flows, system behaviour, verification, and Definition of Done. Use when the user asks for a feature spec, executable requirements, acceptance criteria, behaviour documentation, or a pre-implementation plan for non-trivial behaviour changes.
Plan a human review for a large AI-generated code drop by reading the target area, tracing the natural user and system flows, identifying the riskiest boundaries, and prioritizing the files a human should inspect first. Use when the codebase is too large to review line-by-line and you need a practical review sequence…
Apply ML/AI project delivery guidance for data exploration, feasibility, experimentation, testing, responsible AI, and operating ML systems. Use when the repo includes model training, inference, data science workflows, or ML-specific delivery planning.
Capture or refine non-functional requirements such as accessibility, reliability, scalability, maintainability, performance, and compliance. Use when a feature or architecture change needs explicit quality attributes and trade-offs.
