dotnet-toolkit CLAUDE.md

dotnet-toolkit CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Attemainio/dotnet-toolkit. It costs 2,493 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Claude Code plugin used with .NET projects. The plugin provides a server that helps an agent query C# code, navigate projects, and keep development logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on this .NET plugin, especially for exploring C# code, changing it, or reviewing the project's development history.
Why use it?
They define the repository's working rules and direct the agent to use the plugin's code tools instead of relying only on raw file searches or build commands.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-toolkit CLAUDE.md 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 3d 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.

CLAUDE.md

Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository. This file is the operating contract: the rules that apply in every session, plus where to read the detail. It is not the repo's manual — anything needed only for a particular kind of task lives behind a pointer below.

What this is

A Claude Code plugin for .NET repositories: a Roslyn-powered MCP server (DotnetToolkit.McpServer) exposing token-efficient code query, project navigation, and development-log tools, plus skills that teach Claude to prefer these tools over raw Read/Grep/dotnet build. This repo is both the plugin's implementation and (via .mcp.json) a live consumer of its own server. Dogfooding is the point: if a tool is awkward or wrong for a real task here, that's a bug report about the tool, not a reason to fall back to shell.

Non-negotiable workflow

.claude/rules/dotnet-index.md is a router and nothing else: it names no tools, and maps an intent (read C#, write C#, explore, review) to the skill that owns it. It is always-loaded alongside this file, and is the same rule dotnet-init copies into consuming repos.

The protocol itself lives one level down, loaded only when the work needs it:

Owns File
Every retrieval tool, what each answers, the cheap-route table, limitedBy, TOON skills/dotnet-read/SKILL.md
validate_patch/rename_symbol, the fetch-to-patch loop, the standards step, failures skills/dotnet-write/SKILL.md
Briefing and launching the dotnet-explore agent skills/dotnet-explore/SKILL.md
Partitioning and launching dotnet-code-review skills/dotnet-review/SKILL.md
Which coding standard applies when — shared by the writer and the reviewer standards/index.md

None of it is repeated in CLAUDE.md: a rule that lives only here never reaches a consumer, and two copies always diverge.

What this repo adds on top, because it is the plugin's own source tree:

Before finishing, run dotnet test and, if anything under src/ changed, re-publish to dist/dist/ is what actually runs, so a server change is not delivered until it is republished. dist/ now also carries the hooks, so a change under Hooks/ is live only after republishing too.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
