State-of-the-art C# / .NET engineering rules (.NET LTS releases, modern C#) that Claude applies when writing or auditing .NET code. Covers modern idioms (records, nullable reference types, pattern matching, spans, file-scoped namespaces), API/null/immutability/`IDisposable` design, async/await & concurrency (ConfigureAwait, channels, cancellation, TPL), security (OWASP .NET, deserialization — BinaryFormatter removed in .NET 9, EF/Dapper SQL injection, ASP.NET Core auth, Data Protection…
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
# SOTA C# / .NET (2026) Expert-level rules for producing and auditing production .NET. The runtime is memory-safe, so risk concentrates in **injection, deserialization, async correctness, and dependency supply chain**. Written for **.NET 10 LTS** (released Nov 2025, supported to Nov 2028) and **C# 14** (records, nullable reference types, pattern matching, spans, extension members, the `field` keyword) — flag where a control needs a specific version. Every rule states the *why*; every rules file ends with an audit checklist of grep/analyzer patterns. ## Purpose Two consumers, one source of truth: - **BUILD mode** — generating C#/.NET: follow the rules as defaults. Enable **nullable reference types** and treat analyzer warnings as errors; prefer immutability and the async-all-the-way model. Deviate only with a comment. - **AUDIT mode** — reviewing existing code: hunt violations with the audit checklists, classify by severity, report in the finding format below. SQL string-building and legacy deserialization are presumed exploitable. ## BUILD mode 1. Before writing, read the rules files relevant to the task (see index). A web …

How to install
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-dotnet@sha256:4dc99355e95cf531The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.808c340, 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.
