How does the skill decide which solution file to use?

The skill prefers solution files located in the repository root. If none are found, it selects the .sln file with the shortest directory path depth.

Does this skill work on cross-platform environments?

Yes, it provides both Bash and PowerShell scripts to ensure full compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Where are the mapping results stored?

The results are saved as solution-map.json and solution-map.md within the artifacts/codex/ directory of your project.

What dependencies are required for this skill to run?

You will need the dotnet CLI, ripgrep (rg), and either Python 3 (for the Bash script) or PowerShell installed on your environment.

Can it distinguish between application code and test suites?

Yes, the discovery process includes logic to identify and flag test projects, making it easier to understand the project's testing surface.

Developer Tools

Maps .NET solution structures by identifying primary solution files, projects, target frameworks, and test suites.

The .NET Repository Discovery skill automates the initial exploration phase of a .NET codebase by locating the primary solution (.sln) file and indexing all associated projects. It generates a comprehensive solution map in both JSON and Markdown formats, detailing target frameworks and identifying test projects. This provides Claude with instant context on the repository architecture, making it easier to navigate complex C# projects, plan refactoring, or implement new features without manual file tree traversal.

Key Features

01Target framework version extraction for all discovered projects

020 GitHub stars

03Dual-format artifact generation (JSON and Markdown) for easy consumption

04Automatic .sln file location prioritizing the repository root

05Automated identification and flagging of test projects

06Comprehensive project enumeration and dependency mapping

Use Cases

01Generating structural documentation for large multi-project C# repositories

02Onboarding Claude to a new or complex .NET codebase for better context

03Auditing a repository to identify outdated target frameworks or inconsistent versions
