neo-csharp

neo-csharp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Benknightdark/neo-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for writing, reviewing, debugging, and updating C# code in .NET projects. It checks the project’s .NET version so the code uses language features that the project supports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for C# files, .csproj projects, .NET 6 or newer applications, and code modernization or review work.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incompatible syntax and gives consistent guidance for modern C# features such as nullable references, records, pattern matching, and asynchronous code.

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

neo-csharp 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.

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.

Modern C# (10+) Expert Skill

Trigger On

  • The user asks to write, debug, refactor, or review C# code.
  • The project directory contains *.cs, *.csproj, or single-file C# scripts.
  • The target framework is .NET 6.0 (LTS) and above.
  • Code modernization is needed (e.g., converting legacy nested namespaces to File-scoped namespaces).

Workflow

  1. Perceive (Version Awareness):
    • Check .csproj to identify TargetFramework and determine the syntax upper limit:
      • net6.0: C# 10 (File-scoped namespaces, Global usings).
      • net7.0: C# 11 (Raw string literals, Required members).
      • net8.0: C# 12 (Primary Constructors, Collection Expressions).
      • net9.0: C# 13 (params collections, Lock object).
      • net10.0: C# 14 (Extension members, field keyword).
  2. Reason (Planning Phase):
    • Evaluate the modernization level of the current code to determine the refactoring strategy.
    • In lower version environments (like .NET 6), avoid using higher version syntax (like Primary Constructors), but prioritize using File-scoped namespaces.
    • In higher version environments, actively adopt new features to reduce boilerplate code.
  3. Act (Execution Phase):
    • Write high-quality code, prioritizing "syntactic sugar" to improve readability.
    • Implement strong typing and immutable data structures (record, record struct).
    • Utilize Interpolated string handlers and Span to optimize performance-sensitive paths.
  4. Validate (Standard Validation):
    • Validate the safety of NRT (Nullable Reference Types).
    • Check if asynchronous operations correctly handle cancellation tokens (CancellationToken).
    • Ensure naming conventions comply with official .NET recommendations.

Feature Roadmap (C# 10 - 14)

C# 10 & 11 (Foundation)

  • File-scoped Namespaces: Reduce indentation levels.
  • Global Using Directives: Centralize common namespaces management.
  • Raw String Literals: """...""" easily handle multi-line and special characters.
  • Required Members: Ensure required properties during object initialization.
  • List Patterns: if (list is [1, 2, ..]) powerful collection matching.

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.

neo-csharp is a skill published in the GitHub repository Benknightdark/neo-skills (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,329 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 2026-08-31.
