Tips

• Default output is Markdown; for formats,

  -D

  /

  -S

  discovery, projection, and limits, load

  dotnet-inspect skill query

  . Decompiled source uses readable synthesized local names when PDB names are unavailable.
• Add

  --project <csproj|dir|project.assets.json>

  when project-referenced packages should be in scope; it reads existing restored assets, so restore/build first if dependencies changed.
• Common BCL types resolve without scope:

  type string

  ,

  type 'List<T>'

  . Quote generics and patterns:

  member 'Dictionary<TKey,TValue>'

  ,

  -S "Async*"

  .
• Unpinned packages use latest stable; add

  --preview

  for prerelease APIs.
