Tool .NET Quality v1.0.0

.NET Analyzer Configuration

Use a repo-root `.editorconfig` to configure free .NET analyzer and style rules. Use when a .NET repo needs rule severity, code-style options, section layout, or analyzer ownership made explicit. USE FOR: the repo needs a root .editorconfig; analyzer severity and style ownership are unclear; the team wants one source of truth for rule configuration. DO NOT USE FOR: choosing analyzers with no config change; formatting-only execution with no config ownership question. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.

Trigger On

the repo needs a root .editorconfig
analyzer severity and style ownership are unclear
the team wants one source of truth for rule configuration

Workflow

Prefer one repo-root .editorconfig with root = true.
Add nested .editorconfig files when a subtree has a clear scoped purpose, such as stricter rules, different generated-code handling, or a different policy for tests or legacy code.
Keep severity in .editorconfig, not scattered through IDE settings.
Write the file as real EditorConfig, not as a made-up .NET variant:

- lowercase filename .editorconfig - root = true in the preamble - no inline comments - forward slashes in globs

Keep bulk switches such as EnableNETAnalyzers in MSBuild files, not in .editorconfig.
Treat .globalconfig as an exceptional case, not the normal repo setup.

Deliver

one explicit analyzer configuration ownership model
a root .editorconfig layout that agents can extend safely

Validate

rule severity is reproducible in local and CI builds
IDE-only settings do not silently override repo policy
the default path is a root .editorconfig, not a surprise alternative
