Automated summary

Runs analyzers on a .NET codebase to surface unused NuGet packages, Roslyn code-quality warnings, and known security vulnerabilities.

Strengths

  • Three targeted analyzers (packages, quality, security) that can run individually or all at once
  • Automatically restores dotnet tools when they are missing before execution
  • Produces a structured report with issue counts per category and actionable recommendations
  • Keeps logic thin by delegating to existing shell scripts instead of reimplementing analysis

Limitations

  • Tightly bound to the .NET/NuGet ecosystem and unusable on other stacks
  • Assumes the ./tools/analyzers/*.sh scripts and dotnet-unused are already present in the repo
  • Fixes nothing automatically; it only reports and recommends
When to use it

Use it for a quick, standardized audit of a .NET project before a release or a dependency review.

When not to use it

Avoid it on non-.NET projects or in repos that lack the analyzer scripts and configured dotnet tools.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score78/100

The skill uses Bash to run shell scripts and dotnet tooling for code analysis. These are legitimate purposes, but the execution of arbitrary repository scripts and network-based tool restoration warrants caution.

Findings
  • •Executes repository shell scripts (./tools/analyzers/*.sh) with Bash; if the repository is untrusted or compromised, these scripts could perform arbitrary actions.
  • •Runs 'dotnet tool restore' which may download and install tools from the network, introducing supply-chain risk.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Full analysis
/analyze
Security scan only
/analyze security
Unused package check
/analyze packages

name: analyze description: Run code analyzers (unused packages, code quality, security). Use when user wants to analyze the codebase or runs /analyze. allowed-tools: Bash, Read

Code Analyzer

Run analysis tools on the codebase.

Usage

/analyze              # Run all analyzers
/analyze packages     # Unused NuGet packages only
/analyze quality      # Code quality only
/analyze security     # Security vulnerabilities only

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS - Analyzer type to run
    • Empty or all - Run all analyzers
    • packages - Detect unused NuGet packages (dotnet-unused)
    • quality - Check code style and Roslyn warnings
    • security - Scan for known CVEs and deprecated packages

Process

Step 1: Ensure Tools Are Installed

Run dotnet tool restore if tools are not available.

Step 2: Execute Analyzer(s)

Based on $ARGUMENTS:

| Argument | Script | |----------|--------| | (empty) / all | ./tools/analyzers/run-all.sh | | packages | ./tools/analyzers/unused-packages/analyze.sh | | quality | ./tools/analyzers/code-quality/analyze.sh | | security | ./tools/analyzers/security/analyze.sh |

Step 3: Report Results

Summarize findings:

  • Number of issues found per category
  • Actionable recommendations

Output Format

=== Analysis Results ===

Unused Packages: X issues
  - ProjectName: PackageName

Code Quality: X warnings
  - File:Line - Warning description

Security: X vulnerabilities
  - PackageName - CVE-XXXX-XXXXX (severity)

Recommendations:
  1. Remove unused package X from project Y
  2. Fix warning Z in file W

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/download' --output '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash, Read

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/analyze' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd' '.claude/skills/analyze'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd'

openskills read 'code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/code-analyzer-mmh8qqwd/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
