code-reader

What problem does it solve?

XML documentation comments in C# code consume significant context tokens (30-50%) but are often irrelevant for code analysis tasks. This skill efficiently reads C# files, stripping XML docs while preserving important comments (TODO, HACK), allowing AI to focus on the core code structure and logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context Optimization: Reduces token usage by removing verbose XML documentation, enabling more code to be processed per request.
• Intelligent Comment Preservation: Keeps crucial inline comments like // TODO, // HACK, and // NOTE, which provide vital context for development tasks.
• Roslyn-Based Stripping: Uses Roslyn's semantic understanding to accurately remove XML trivia without altering code logic.
• Use Case: You need to analyze the complexity of a large, well-documented C# class. Instead of reading the entire file with its XML docs, use code-reader to get a streamlined version, allowing the AI to process more code and focus on the logic, not the documentation.

Quick Start

Use the code-reader skill to read the file "D:\Project\src\Services\ProductService.cs" and strip its XML documentation comments.
