SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Audit and identify resource-leak patterns in C#/.NET code, focusing on IDisposable/IAsyncDisposable misuse, CTS lifecycles, and related persistence issues that degrade runtime stability.

Core Features & Use Cases

Two-phase audit methodology with forward/backward searches and disposal-site checks to locate leaks across PR changes or full codebase.
Pattern-driven discovery guided by resource-management categories (CTS, buffer pools, event unsubscriptions, static leaks) to surface actionable findings.
Structured triage and risk assessment with clear ownership and remediation guidance for developers and reviewers.

Quick Start

Run the PR-mode audit to scan changed C# files for resource-leak patterns and begin remediation planning.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find IDisposable misuse and resource leaks in C# .NET code?▼

To find IDisposable misuse and resource leaks in C# .NET code, apply a two-phase audit methodology with forward and backward searches to locate disposal-site issues. This scan validates findings against disposal patterns across changed files or a full codebase.

What are common .NET resource leak patterns I should scan my codebase for?▼

Common .NET resource leak patterns include CancellationTokenSource lifecycle issues, buffer pool mismanagement, missing event unsubscriptions, and static leaks. A pattern-driven discovery audit surfaces these actionable findings for risk assessment and remediation.

How do I audit a pull request for CancellationTokenSource lifecycle issues?▼

To audit a pull request for CancellationTokenSource lifecycle issues, run a PR-mode audit to scan changed C# files. The workflow follows forward and backward analyses to locate CTS leaks and validates findings against disposal patterns.

Does this resource leak audit work on a full codebase or only changed PR files?▼

This resource leak audit works on both a full codebase and changed PR files. You can run the PR-mode audit to scan only changed C# files or apply the two-phase methodology across the entire project to locate IDisposable misuse.

How does the .NET resource leak audit validate findings before reporting?▼

The .NET resource leak audit validates findings by checking disposal-site patterns using forward and backward searches. This two-phase methodology ensures located IDisposable and CancellationTokenSource leaks are actionable before triage and risk assessment.

What's the best way to triage and fix .NET memory management leaks found in code?▼

The best way to triage and fix .NET memory management leaks is to use a structured triage and risk assessment workflow that provides clear ownership and remediation guidance for the identified IDisposable and CTS lifecycle issues.
