Roslynator

Use the open-source free `Roslynator` analyzer packages and optional CLI for .NET. Use when a repo wants broad C# static analysis, auto-fix flows, dead-code detection, optional CLI checks, or extra rules beyond the SDK analyzers.

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

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

  1. Build first when Roslynator needs compiled context.
  2. Configure rule severity and Roslynator behavior in .editorconfig.
  3. Avoid duplicating the same rules across multiple analyzer packs without a severity plan.
  4. Treat CLI auto-fix as a controlled change:

- run it on a bounded target first - rebuild - rerun tests

Deliver

  • Roslynator package or CLI setup that fits the repo
  • explicit ownership of rule severity
  • repeatable commands for analyze, fix, or unused-code workflows when the repo adopts them

Validate

  • Roslynator adds value beyond the current analyzer baseline
  • CI commands remain reviewable and reproducible
  • the repo is not confusing Roslynator CLI with the analyzer package itself
