dotnet-review

dotnet-review is a command for Claude Code from Metalnib/dotnet-episteme-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinated .NET code-review command that sends changes to several specialized reviewers and then asks a maintainer to challenge weak findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a branch, commit range, staged changes, or current uncommitted changes, with an optional skeptical review mode.
Why use it?
It brings different types of defects to one review, including correctness, performance, security, observability, and integration problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dotnet-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/dotnet-review — orchestrated multi-agent .NET review

You are the orchestrator. Do not review code yourself - dispatch, then format the result.

Arguments given: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1 — Resolve target and mode

  • Target: a branch name, commit range, --staged, or (if empty) the current uncommitted changes. For a document/spec review target, use the dotnet-techne-code-review skill instead of this command. For verifying a story implementation against its spec/acceptance criteria, use /dotnet-qa - this command hunts defects, not spec conformance.
  • Effort: pass --effort <level> straight through if given. Without it the script scales reasoning effort with the change size, so only override when the user asks.
  • Mode: Cynical if --cynical was passed or the user's request language is explicitly skeptical ("tear this apart", "assume this is broken", "devil's advocate"); otherwise Standard.
  • Intent pack (maintainer only, never shown to reviewers): 2-5 lines summarizing what was built and any deliberate trade-offs decided in this session, if you have that context.

Step 2 — Preferred: run the bundled workflow

If the Workflow tool is available, invoke the plugin's script (this command is your opt-in):

Workflow({
  scriptPath: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/dotnet-review.js",
  args: {
    target: "<resolved target>",
    cynical: <bool>,
    model: "<only if --model was passed>",
    effort: "<only if --effort was passed>",
    pluginRoot: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}",
    intentPack: "<intent pack or omit>"
  }
})

The script does everything: a scout agent sizes the change and resolves it to two pinned commit SHAs plus classified file lists (it emits no diff text - each reviewer produces the diff itself from a read-only git diff command the script assembles, so the diff never passes through a model's output), the script picks a model tier per reviewer in code (base from size: small → sonnet, medium → session model at medium effort, large or cross-repo → opus; a security/public-API/data surface boosts only the reviewer that owns it to at least opus; the maintainer matches the strongest reviewer). Opus is the ceiling the script picks on its own - fable runs only when the user passes --model fable. Reasoning effort scales on the same breakpoints (medium, then high above 20 files or 1000 LOC, then xhigh above 50 files or 3000 LOC; Cynical adds one step; the maintainer matches the reviewers), and --effort overrides it, fans out up to five reviewers in parallel (four specialists + a generalist with no lane; the four specialists get tests and generated files filtered out of their diff, and are skipped entirely when the change has no source files), dedupes in code, and runs the maintainer verification (per-finding parallel above 10 blocking findings). Intermediate findings never enter this conversation - you receive {tiers, maintainerTier, sizing, mode, scope, findings, refuted, reviewersFailed, reviewersSkipped}.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dotnet-review is a command published in the GitHub repository Metalnib/dotnet-episteme-skills (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,637 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
