dotnet-decompile

dotnet-decompile is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from batteryshark/rekit. It costs 80 tokens per session (304 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A static decompiler that converts the intermediate code inside a .NET assembly back into readable C# source files. It uses ilspycmd and reads the assembly without running it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a managed DLL or executable into C# files for code review and reverse engineering, usually after checking its structure with a .NET analyzer.
Why use it?
It makes managed application logic easier to inspect when the original source code is unavailable. It also clearly reports when the required .NET tool is not installed.

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-decompile 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

.NET Decompiler

Decompile a .NET / CLR assembly (IL) back to C# with ilspycmd.

When to use

A managed .NET assembly you need to read. Run dotnet-analyze first for the shape and P/Invoke surface, then this for full C#.

What it does

Runs ilspycmd <assembly> -o <outdir> (static — reads IL/metadata, never runs the assembly) and reports the files written.

Prerequisites

  • python3 (runner) and ilspycmd on PATH — a dotnet tool that needs the .NET runtime, so it is not bundled: dotnet tool install -g ilspycmd. Until then doctor marks the skill not-ready and run reports the honest blind spot.

Usage

rekit run dotnet-decompile ./managed.dll ./out
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

dotnet-decompile is a skill published in the GitHub repository batteryshark/rekit (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 304 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
