Test it

Using "reviewing-dotnet-code". A service method uses async void and catches the base exception type.

Expected outcome:

The review flags async void as unsafe outside event handlers and recommends returning a task. It also recommends catching specific exceptions.

Using "reviewing-dotnet-code". A DTO class contains mutable properties and manual equality methods.

Expected outcome:

The review suggests a record when immutability fits the design. It explains how this reduces boilerplate and improves intent.

Using "reviewing-dotnet-code". A pull request mixes framework type names, block namespaces, and repeated enumeration.

Expected outcome:

The review groups style fixes separately from performance concerns. It recommends language keywords, file-scoped namespaces, and materializing the sequence once.

The static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline C# identifiers, and documentation headings. The skill is documentation-only and guides .NET code review for naming, async patterns, exceptions, LINQ, and modern C# style. No prompt injection, command execution, network access, credential handling, or data exfiltration intent was found.

What You Can Build

Prepare a Pull Request Review

Review C# changes for naming, async flow, exception handling, and modern syntax before merge.

Standardize Team Code Style

Apply one .NET convention checklist across services, DTOs, repositories, and library code.

Guide AI Refactoring Sessions

Give Claude Code or Codex specific .NET review rules before editing existing C# files.

Try These Prompts

Basic C# Review 
Review this C# file for naming conventions, language keyword usage, and clear method names. Return the most important improvements first.
Async and Exception Review 
Review this .NET service for async anti-patterns, exception handling issues, and disposable usage. Explain each finding with a practical fix.
Modern C# Refactor Plan 
Find opportunities to use records, file-scoped namespaces, target-typed new, collection expressions, and cleaner LINQ in this codebase.
Full Pull Request Audit 
Review these C# changes as a pull request. Prioritize behavioral risks, maintainability issues, style violations, and missing tests.

Best Practices

  • Provide the relevant .editorconfig file before asking for style feedback.
  • Ask for prioritized findings when reviewing large pull requests.
  • Separate style modernization from behavior changes during refactoring.

Avoid

  • Do not ask for broad rewrites without sharing tests or expected behavior.
  • Do not apply generic conventions when the project has explicit local rules.
  • Do not treat style suggestions as proof that compiled behavior is correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill compile or run .NET code?
No. It provides review guidance and refactoring suggestions based on the supplied files.
Can it follow my project style rules?
Yes, if you provide the .editorconfig file or explain the local conventions.
What C# versions does it target?
It emphasizes modern C# patterns, especially C# 10 and newer guidance.
Is this mainly for code review or generation?
It supports both, but its strongest use is structured review and focused refactoring.
Does it cover security review?
Only at a basic code-quality level. Use a dedicated security review for vulnerability analysis.
Can Claude Code and Codex use it?
Yes. The skill is Markdown guidance that can steer Claude, Codex, and Claude Code workflows.
