modern-csharp

A reference for modern C# 14 and .NET 10 language features, including newer ways to define classes, collections, records, patterns, and memory-efficient code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing C# 14 code, modernizing .NET code, defining immutable data objects, using primary constructors, or working with spans and pattern matching.
Why use it?
It helps developers write new C# with current language features while keeping code readable and data more controlled.

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

modern-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 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.

Modern C# (C# 14 / .NET 10)

Core Principles

  1. Use the newest stable features — C# 14 is the target. Prefer language-level constructs over library workarounds.
  2. Readability over cleverness — Pattern matching and expression-bodied members improve readability when used appropriately; deeply nested patterns do not.
  3. Value types where possible — Prefer record struct, Span<T>, and stack allocation to reduce GC pressure.
  4. Immutability by default — Use record, readonly, init, and required to make illegal states unrepresentable.

Patterns

Well-Known Features Quick Reference

Feature Usage Example
Primary constructors DI injection, eliminate field assignments public class OrderService(IOrderRepo repo, TimeProvider clock) { }
Collection expressions [] for all collection types + spread List<string> names = ["Alice", "Bob"]; / int[] all = [..a, ..b, 99];
Records DTOs, value objects, immutable data public record CreateOrderRequest(string CustomerId, List<OrderItem> Items);
readonly record struct Small stack-allocated value types public readonly record struct Money(decimal Amount, string Currency);
Pattern matching Switch expressions, list/property patterns order switch { { Total: > 1000 } => "Premium", _ => "Standard" };
List patterns Deconstruct arrays/lists items switch { [] => "Empty", [var x] => $"One: {x}", [var f, .., var l] => $"{f}..{l}" };
Span<T> Zero-allocation slicing ReadOnlySpan<char> trimmed = input.Trim(); int.TryParse(trimmed[4..], out id);
Raw string literals Multi-line SQL, JSON, XML var sql = """ SELECT ... """; / interpolated: $$""" {"id": "{{id}}"} """;
required members Enforce initialization public required string ConnectionString { get; init; }
is pattern + extraction Null/type/property check if (result is { IsSuccess: true, Value: var order }) { ... }

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.

modern-csharp is a skill published in the GitHub repository codewithmukesh/dotnet-claude-kit (689 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,620 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
