.NET/C# Design Pattern Review

Review the C#/.NET code in ${selection} for design pattern implementation and suggest improvements for the solution/project. Do not make any changes to the code, just provide a review.

Required Design Patterns

Command Pattern: Generic base classes (CommandHandler<TOptions>), ICommandHandler<TOptions> interface, CommandHandlerOptions inheritance, static SetupCommand(IHost host) methods
Factory Pattern: Complex object creation service provider integration
Dependency Injection: Primary constructor syntax, ArgumentNullException null checks, interface abstractions, proper service lifetimes
Repository Pattern: Async data access interfaces provider abstractions for connections
Provider Pattern: External service abstractions (database, AI), clear contracts, configuration handling
Resource Pattern: ResourceManager for localized messages, separate .resx files (LogMessages, ErrorMessages)

Review Checklist

Design Patterns: Identify patterns used. Are Command Handler, Factory, Provider, and Repository patterns correctly implemented? Missing beneficial patterns?
Architecture: Follow namespace conventions ({Core|Console|App|Service}.{Feature})? Proper separation between Core/Console projects? Modular and readable?
.NET Best Practices: Primary constructors, async/await with Task returns, ResourceManager usage, structured logging, strongly-typed configuration?
GoF Patterns: Command, Factory, Template Method, Strategy patterns correctly implemented?
SOLID Principles: Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion violations?
Performance: Proper async/await, resource disposal, ConfigureAwait(false), parallel processing opportunities?
Maintainability: Clear separation of concerns, consistent error handling, proper configuration usage?
Testability: Dependencies abstracted via interfaces, mockable components, async testability, AAA pattern compatibility?
Security: Input validation, secure credential handling, parameterized queries, safe exception handling?
Documentation: XML docs for public APIs, parameter/return descriptions, resource file organization?
Code Clarity: Meaningful names reflecting domain concepts, clear intent through patterns, self-explanatory structure?
Clean Code: Consistent style, appropriate method/class size, minimal complexity, eliminated duplication?

Improvement Focus Areas

Command Handlers: Validation in base class, consistent error handling, proper resource management
Factories: Dependency configuration, service provider integration, disposal patterns
Providers: Connection management, async patterns, exception handling and logging
Configuration: Data annotations, validation attributes, secure sensitive value handling
AI/ML Integration: Semantic Kernel patterns, structured output handling, model configuration

Provide specific, actionable recommendations for improvements aligned with the project's architecture and .NET best practices.

how to use dotnet-design-pattern-review

How to use dotnet-design-pattern-review on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add dotnet-design-pattern-review

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill dotnet-design-pattern-review

The skills CLI fetches dotnet-design-pattern-review from GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────

│ • Amp

│ • Antigravity

│ • Cline

│ • Codex

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ • Cursor

│ • Windsurf

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/dotnet-design-pattern-review

Reload or restart Cursor to activate dotnet-design-pattern-review. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /dotnet-design-pattern-review) or your agent's skill management interface.

⚠

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases▌

Task Automation & Efficiency

Automate repetitive workflows and reduce manual effort

Example

Generate reports, summarize documents, draft communications

✓

Save 3-5 hours per week on routine tasks

Knowledge Enhancement

Learn new skills, understand complex topics, get expert guidance

Example

Explain concepts, provide examples, suggest learning resources

✓

Accelerate learning and skill development by 2x

Quality Improvement

Enhance output quality through reviews, suggestions, and refinements

Example

Review drafts, suggest improvements, catch errors

✓

Improve work quality by 30-40% with less effort

Implementation Guide▌

Prerequisites

›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs

Time Estimate

15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity

Installation Steps

1.Install skill using provided installation command
2.Test with simple use case relevant to your work
3.Evaluate output quality and relevance
4.Iterate on prompts to improve results
5.Integrate into regular workflow if valuable

Common Pitfalls

⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation

Best Practices▌

✓ Do

+Start with clear, specific prompts
+Provide relevant context and constraints
+Review and refine all outputs before using
+Iterate to improve output quality
+Document successful prompt patterns

✗ Don't

−Don't use without understanding skill limitations
−Don't skip validation of outputs
−Don't share sensitive information in prompts
−Don't expect skill to replace human judgment

💡 Pro Tips

★Be specific about desired format and style
★Ask for multiple options to choose from
★Request explanations to understand reasoning
★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise

When to Use This▌

✓ Use When

Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

Learning Path▌

1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
