mcaf-dotnet-roslynator

A set of Roslynator analyzer packages and an optional command-line tool for checking C# code. Roslyn is the .NET compiler platform used by tools that inspect and improve C# source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add Roslynator checks to builds, run analysis or cleanup from the command line, apply fixes, and find unused code in .NET repositories.
Why use it?
It helps find code problems, unused code, and cleanup opportunities beyond the rules included with the .NET SDK. It can also apply supported fixes automatically.

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

mcaf-dotnet-roslynator 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to dotnet-roslynator — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

MCAF: .NET Roslynator

Trigger On

  • the repo uses or wants Roslynator.Analyzers
  • the team wants Roslynator CLI or extra Roslyn-based rules
  • the user asks about C# linting, static analysis, code cleanup, or unused code

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • repos that already have overlapping analyzer packs with no consolidation plan
  • formatting-only work when the repo already standardized on dotnet format or CSharpier

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current analyzer packages
  • .editorconfig

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Prefer the NuGet analyzer packages for build-enforced checks.
  2. Use the CLI when the repo needs one of these flows explicitly:
    • analyze
    • fix
    • find-unused
    • format
  3. Build first when Roslynator needs compiled context.
  4. Configure rule severity and Roslynator behavior in .editorconfig.
  5. Avoid duplicating the same rules across multiple analyzer packs without a severity plan.
  6. Treat CLI auto-fix as a controlled change:
    • run it on a bounded target first
    • rebuild
    • rerun tests

Bootstrap When Missing

If Roslynator is not configured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg -n "Roslynator\\.Analyzers" -g '*.csproj' .
    • rg --files -g '.config/dotnet-tools.json'
    • dotnet tool list --local
    • dotnet tool list --global
    • command -v roslynator
  2. Choose the install path deliberately:
    • analyzer package: dotnet add PROJECT.csproj package Roslynator.Analyzers
    • optional CLI: dotnet new tool-manifest (if missing) and dotnet tool install roslynator.dotnet.cli
  3. Configure ownership in root .editorconfig so Roslynator does not fight SDK analyzers, StyleCop, or Meziantou.
  4. If the CLI is adopted, add exact commands in AGENTS.md and CI, such as:
    • dotnet tool run roslynator analyze SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT
    • dotnet tool run roslynator fix SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and the selected Roslynator command, then return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo wants only the current analyzer baseline and no Roslynator-specific CLI workflow, return status: not_applicable.

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.
