What it does

Dynamo Dotnet Janitor is an agent skill from DynamoDS/Dynamo. Perform janitorial tasks on C/.NET code including cleanup, modernization, and tech debt remediation.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Legacy modernization and Technical debt. It works with .NET and C#. The repository describes itself as: Open Source Graphical Programming for Computational Design and Automation. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Legacy modernization
  • Tasks that involve Technical debt

Example prompts

  • “/dynamo-dotnet-janitor”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72b753c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dynamo Dotnet Janitor loads about 682 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~682

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Dynamo dotNET Janitor

Perform janitorial tasks on C#/.NET codebases. Focus on code cleanup, modernization, and technical debt remediation.

Core Tasks

Code Modernization
  • Update to modern C# language features and syntax patterns supported by the project's target framework (currently the C# language version for .NET 10)
  • 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 NUnit assertions consistently and prefer clear, readable assertion messages
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.
