dotnet-modern-csharp

dotnet-modern-csharp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,201 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dotnet-modern-csharp, MIT.

A guide for writing modern C# while respecting the .NET version and language version used by a repository. It helps decide which C# features are safe to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or introduce C# language features, check compatibility, and choose idiomatic syntax for the project's target framework and LangVersion.
Why use it?
It prevents code from using features that the project's SDK, target framework, or compiler cannot support. It also helps keep newer code consistent with repository rules.

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-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 9d 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# for .NET

Trigger On

  • the repo wants more modern idiomatic C# code
  • a change depends on language-version compatibility
  • the team is upgrading or reviewing C# feature usage across versions
  • you need to know whether a C# 13 or C# 14 feature is safe to use

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

  • non-C# .NET languages such as F# or VB
  • analyzer-only or formatter-only setup with no language feature choice

Inputs

  • target TFM or TFMs
  • explicit LangVersion, if any
  • current SDK version
  • team style rules in .editorconfig and AGENTS.md

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. Detect the real language ceiling from the repo's target framework and explicit LangVersion.
  2. Prefer stable features that the current repo actually supports.
  3. Use modern syntax when it reduces ceremony, improves correctness, or makes invariants clearer.
  4. Do not mass-rewrite a codebase into newer syntax unless the repo wants that churn.
  5. Treat preview features as opt-in only. Never assume preview because the current machine has a newer SDK.
  6. Pay special attention to C# 13 and C# 14:
    • C# 13 is the stable language for .NET 9
    • C# 14 is the stable language for .NET 10
  7. When feature selection changes architecture, style rules, or generated-code patterns, coordinate with:
    • dotnet
    • dotnet-analyzer-config
    • dotnet-architecture
  8. After feature-driven refactors, run the repo's .NET quality pass through dotnet.

Bootstrap When Missing

If the requested C# feature depends on SDK or language support the repo does not have yet:

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.
