resolve-diagnostics
SkillFiles & storageResolves IDE diagnostics (inspections and analyzer findings) at the `warning` or higher severity level for a given set of files, then applies the solution's code style. Use this skill when a workflow's refactoring step calls for resolving diagnostics, or when the user asks to fix warnings, inspections, or static analysis findings in specific files. Typically invoked as `/resolve-diagnostics <PATH>`.

Resolves IDE diagnostics at the warning or higher severity level for the given files, reformats
them to the solution's code style, then runs the tests.
Input
One or more file path arguments. Resolve them to a concrete set of files, then:
- Keep only
.csfiles that belong to the current Unity solution — they are the only ones that carry IDE diagnostics, andreformat_filerequires solution membership. - Drop everything else (docs,
.meta,.asmdef, assets, files outside the solution). - Normalize the remaining paths to project/solution-root-relative form, once, up front —
lint_files,get_file_problems, andreformat_fileall expect that form.
If no path argument is given, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user for the targets. Do not derive
targets from git status — that would silently widen the scope beyond what was requested.
If no files remain after filtering, stop and report that — there is nothing to resolve.
Workflow
Step 1: Load the Coding Guide
- Load the
code-writing-guideskill — do not rely on automatic skill triggering. Every fix applied in Step 2 must follow it. - Read its
resources/diagnostics-review-feedback.mdnow, before collecting any diagnostics in Step 2 — do not wait for its## Resourcesbullet to be reached incidentally; a diagnostic fix decision must never be made before this file has been read in this run.
Never leave a warning-or-higher diagnostic unaddressed — each one is either fixed or explicitly
suppressed per the criteria just read.
Step 2: Resolve Diagnostics
Resolve diagnostics at the warning or higher severity level, collecting them for all resolved
files via lint_files rather than one file at a time. By default the tools also return
suggestion- and hint-level results — those are out of scope, with one exception: a
suggestion-level diagnostic related to performance (execution speed, memory allocation, boxing,
etc.) should be considered for fixing too, though it never requires suppression when declined.
Both lint_files and its fallback get_file_problems require Rider 2026.2 or later.
lint_files— pass every resolved file in one call- If the call errors, fall back to
get_file_problems, called once per file - On a
timedOutormoreresult, retry the outstanding file(s) withget_file_problems - If a timeout persists, use
AskUserQuestionto confirm the user is running Rider 2026.2 or later before retrying further - Files reported as not analyzed carry into Step 5 as skipped
- If the call errors, fall back to
- Decide each diagnostic per the criteria read in Step 1, and apply all resulting changes as a
single set per file
- When a fix is a rename (naming-convention inspections) or a symbol removal (unused-member
findings), apply it via
rename_refactoring/safe_deleteso references are updated across the solution
- When a fix is a rename (naming-convention inspections) or a symbol removal (unused-member
findings), apply it via
Do not use mcp__ide__getDiagnostics (limited to files open in editor tabs) or the Unity compiler
output (does not reflect .editorconfig severity settings).
Step 3: Reformat
Call reformat_file once with the full list of files resolved in Input (not one call per file),
passing rootFolder as the project/solution root.
Step 4: Run Tests
If any file was modified in Step 2 — a fix or a suppression — load the run-tests skill (do not
rely on automatic skill triggering) and run the tests for the affected assemblies, then confirm they
still pass. Step 3's reformatting alone does not change behavior, so skip this step when Step 2
applied no changes.
Step 5: Report Suppressions and Known-Issue Items
If any diagnostic was suppressed rather than fixed, list each one for the user together with its reason. The suppression site itself already carries a "why not" comment per the Step 1 criteria.
Also list any files skipped in Step 2 as not analyzed, together with the reason given.
Also list any diagnostics handled under the Gotchas below, each with the user-verification request described there.
Gotchas
Suppression comment format:
- The
// ReSharper disable once <InspectionName>form works only for ReSharper's built-in inspections (e.g.,RedundantEmptySwitchSection) — it has no effect on Roslyn analyzer diagnostics. To suppress an analyzer diagnostic, wrap the code in#pragma warning disable <ID>/#pragma warning restore <ID>using the analyzer's diagnostic ID (e.g.,NUnit2007).
Known issues in lint_files / get_file_problems as of Rider 2026.2.1:
- RIDER-142275: inspections from ReSharper plugins are returned with an empty description. Do not guess what such a diagnostic means or attempt a fix — leave it as is, and in Step 5 ask the user to open the file in the editor and check what the inspection actually reports (e.g., whether it is a complexity finding).
- RIDER-142276: Roslyn analyzer diagnostics
that are already suppressed in source are still reported. Once a
#pragma warning disablefor the diagnostic is in place, treat it as resolved and move on even if the tools keep reporting it — do not re-fix or re-suppress. In Step 5, ask the user to confirm the suppression is effective in the editor.
