Locate .NET source files and Member spans through Portable PDB and SourceLink data, then read checksum-matched content locally or remotely while preserving provenance and availability boundaries.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# dotnet-inspect: Locate and Read .NET Source with Portable PDBs and SourceLink

Use this skill to get source mapped by the Portable PDB. dotnet-inspect
verifies local files and GitHub committed blobs read through `--repo` against
the PDB checksum. A network `PDB Source` fetch follows redirects permitted by
the host transport and returns the body only when it matches that checksum; it
does not treat the final destination as source provenance. Use
`library -S "SourceLink: Integrity"` for opt-in verification that every
fetchable, non-embedded compiler-source document preserves its attributed
repository and revision through redirects. If no usable PDB or
checksum-matching source is available locally or through SourceLink, use the
always-local `decompiler` skill.

The checksum proves that returned bytes match the PDB's declaration. It does
not independently prove that those bytes are the physical syntax tree that
produced a MethodDef; `PDB Source` names that evidence boundary explicitly.

```bash
dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- <command>
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richlander/dotnet-inspect/dotnet-inspect-sourcelink@sha256:86fb0ee7ad49c861

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
