# Description
Use the free official JetBrains ReSharper Command Line Tools for .NET repositories. Use when a repo wants powerful `jb inspectcode` inspections, `jb cleanupcode` cleanup profiles, solution-level `.DotSettings` enforcement, or a stronger CLI quality gate for C# than the default SDK analyzers alone.

Use when a repo wants powerful jb inspectcode inspections, jb cleanupcode cleanup profiles, solution-level .DotSettings enforcement, or a stronger CLI quality gate for C# than the default SDK analyzers alone."
compatibility: "Requires a .NET solution or project; works best when the repo keeps shared ReSharper settings in solution .DotSettings files and records exact commands in AGENTS.md."
ReSharper Command Line Tools
Trigger On
- the repo uses or wants ReSharper Command Line Tools
- the team wants
jb inspectcodeorjb cleanupcode - the user asks for stronger C# inspections, cleanup profiles, or ReSharper-based CI gates
Value
- produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
- reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
- leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer
Do Not Use For
- replacing tests with inspection output
- ad-hoc formatting-only work when the repo intentionally standardizes on another formatter
- repos that do not want JetBrains settings or CLT-based gates in their workflow
Inputs
- the nearest
AGENTS.md - the target
.sln,.csproj, or bounded file set - repo-root
.editorconfig - solution shared settings such as
YourSolution.sln.DotSettings
Quick Start
- Read the nearest
AGENTS.mdand confirm scope and constraints. - Run this skill's
Workflowthrough theRalph Loopuntil outcomes are acceptable. - Return the
Required Result Formatwith concrete artifacts and verification evidence.
Workflow
- Prefer solution-level runs when possible so ReSharper can resolve references and apply full inspections.
- Build the solution before
jb cleanupcodewhen working at solution scope. - Use
jb inspectcodefirst to surface issues before editing anything broad. - Treat surfaced issues as mandatory fixes when this gate is enabled for the repo; do not just dump a report and stop.
- Use
jb cleanupcodewith an explicit cleanup profile: Built-in: Full CleanupBuilt-in: Reformat CodeBuilt-in: Reformat & Apply Syntax Style- or a checked-in custom profile
- Keep durable ReSharper settings in the team-shared solution layer and commit the solution
.DotSettingsfile when policy changes. - Re-run
jb inspectcodeafter cleanup or fixes, then run the repo's normal quality pass and tests.
Bootstrap When Missing
If ReSharper Command Line Tools are not available yet:
- Detect current state:
rg --files -g '.config/dotnet-tools.json' -g '*.sln.DotSettings'dotnet tool list --localdotnet tool list --globalcommand -v jb- Choose the install path deliberately:
- preferred repo-local install for reproducible CI:
dotnet new tool-manifest(if missing)dotnet tool install JetBrains.ReSharper.GlobalTools
- global fallback:
dotnet tool install --global JetBrains.ReSharper.GlobalTools
- Verify the installed commands resolve correctly:
jb inspectcode --helpjb cleanupcode --help- Record exact commands in
AGENTS.md, for example: dotnet build MySolution.sln -c Releasejb inspectcode MySolution.sln -o=artifacts/inspectcode.sarifjb cleanupcode MySolution.sln --profile="Built-in: Full Cleanup"- If the repo needs stable settings, save them into the solution team-shared layer and commit
YourSolution.sln.DotSettings. - Run
jb inspectcodeonce, fix or triage the surfaced issues, rerun it, and returnstatus: configuredorstatus: improved. - If the repo intentionally excludes ReSharper CLT from its toolchain, return
status: not_applicable.
Deliver
- explicit
jb inspectcodeandjb cleanupcodecommands - durable ReSharper settings in shared solution config
- a quality gate that surfaces issues which are then fixed, not ignored
Validate
- the target solution or project builds before solution-wide cleanup
jb inspectcodeoutput is reviewed and acted on- cleanup profiles and shared settings are explicit
- tests and the wider quality pass still run after ReSharper-driven fixes
Ralph Loop
Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.
- Plan first (mandatory):
- analyze current state
- define target outcome, constraints, and risks
- write a detailed execution plan
- list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
- Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
- Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
- Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
- Update the plan after each iteration.
- Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
- If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return
status: not_applicablewith explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
status:complete|clean|improved|configured|not_applicable|blockedplan: concise plan and current iteration stepactions_taken: concrete changes madevalidation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasonsverification: commands, checks, or review evidence summaryremaining: top unresolved items ornone
