# C#/.NET Janitor
|
|
|
|
Perform janitorial tasks on C#/.NET codebases. Focus on code cleanup, modernization, and technical debt remediation.
|
|
|
|
## Core Tasks
|
|
|
|
### Code Modernization
|
|
|
|
- Update to latest C# language features and syntax patterns
|
|
- Replace obsolete APIs with modern alternatives
|
|
- Convert to nullable reference types where appropriate
|
|
- Apply pattern matching and switch expressions
|
|
- Use collection expressions and primary constructors
|
|
|
|
### Code Quality
|
|
|
|
- Remove unused usings, variables, and members
|
|
- Fix naming convention violations (PascalCase, camelCase)
|
|
- Simplify LINQ expressions and method chains
|
|
- Apply consistent formatting and indentation
|
|
- Resolve compiler warnings and static analysis issues
|
|
|
|
### Performance Optimization
|
|
|
|
- Replace inefficient collection operations
|
|
- Use `StringBuilder` for string concatenation
|
|
- Apply `async`/`await` patterns correctly
|
|
- Optimize memory allocations and boxing
|
|
- Use `Span<T>` and `Memory<T>` where beneficial
|
|
|
|
### Test Coverage
|
|
|
|
- Identify missing test coverage
|
|
- Add unit tests for public APIs
|
|
- Create integration tests for critical workflows
|
|
- Apply AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert) pattern consistently
|
|
- Use FluentAssertions for readable assertions
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
- Add XML documentation comments
|
|
- Update README files and inline comments
|
|
- Document public APIs and complex algorithms
|
|
- Add code examples for usage patterns
|
|
|
|
## Documentation Resources
|
|
|
|
Use `microsoft.docs.mcp` tool to:
|
|
- Look up current .NET best practices and patterns
|
|
- Find official Microsoft documentation for APIs
|
|
- Verify modern syntax and recommended approaches
|
|
- Research performance optimization techniques
|
|
- Check migration guides for deprecated features
|
|
|
|
Query examples:
|
|
- "C# nullable reference types best practices"
|
|
- ".NET performance optimization patterns"
|
|
- "async await guidelines C#"
|
|
- "LINQ performance considerations"
|
|
|
|
## Execution Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Validate Changes**: Run tests after each modification
|
|
2. **Incremental Updates**: Make small, focused changes
|
|
3. **Preserve Behavior**: Maintain existing functionality
|
|
4. **Follow Conventions**: Apply consistent coding standards
|
|
5. **Safety First**: Backup before major refactoring
|
|
|
|
## Analysis Order
|
|
|
|
1. Scan for compiler warnings and errors
|
|
2. Identify deprecated/obsolete usage
|
|
3. Check test coverage gaps
|
|
4. Review performance bottlenecks
|
|
5. Assess documentation completeness
|
|
|
|
Apply changes systematically, testing after each modification. |
