Use a repo-root `.editorconfig` to configure free .NET analyzer and style rules.
Meziantou.Analyzer
Use the open-source free `Meziantou.Analyzer` package for design, usage, security, performance, and style rules in .NET. Use when a repo wants broader analyzer coverage with a single NuGet package. USE FOR: the repo uses or wants Meziantou.Analyzer; the team wants one analyzer pack that covers design, usage, security, performance, and style. DO NOT USE FOR: repos that already enforce an overlapping analyzer baseline and do not want extra diagnostics; formatting-only work. 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 uses or wants
Meziantou.Analyzer - the team wants one analyzer pack that covers design, usage, security, performance, and style
Workflow
- Add
Meziantou.Analyzerwhen the repo wants broader rules than the SDK baseline. - Keep rule severity in the repo-root
.editorconfig. - Review overlaps with SDK analyzers and Roslynator before mass-enabling everything as errors.
Deliver
- explicit Meziantou package setup
- repo-owned severity and warning policy
Validate
- the added rules are understood by the team
- CI runs stay actionable instead of noisy
