Find high-leverage .NET methods with allocation and repetition evidence, trace candidate costs through calls and IL, and select focused profiling or benchmark follow-ups rather than claiming measured wins.

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: Find .NET Performance Optimization Candidates

Use this skill to find Members worth investigating, not to infer measured wins.
Run `dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- <command>`. This static analysis is experimental;
use installed discovery for current shapes, fields and query rules.

## Start with leverage and actionable candidates

```bash
dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -S "Top Leverage"
dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -S "Performance:*" \
  --where "Priority>=high" --top 20 --tsv
dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library -D @Performance
dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library -Q "Performance: Arrays" --json
```

Top Leverage ranks call-graph reach, not execution frequency. Intersect its
Members with performance candidates to choose a focused drill. A large
call-graph footprint can matter even when a local cost is small.

Library triage has kind-scoped sections; Type/Member scope uses
`Performance Triage`. Use `--all` for non-public Type/Member targets.
`--top` selects a curated ranked prefix, while `-n`/`--rows` shape output;
they are not interchangeable. `@Performance` includes heterogeneous sections,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richlander/dotnet-inspect/dotnet-inspect-performance@sha256:05a374c2ea38db62

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.
