Stricture.Net

Architectural rules for .NET that break the build.

Declare your conventions as assembly attributes; violations show up as live IDE squiggles and dotnet build errors. A standalone analyzer toolkit — not a client library for another service.

Install:

dotnet add package Stricture.Net

One <PackageReference Include="Stricture.Net" /> delivers both assets: the attribute library you reference (lib/netstandard2.0/Stricture.Abstractions.dll) and the Roslyn analyzer that enforces it (analyzers/dotnet/cs/Stricture.Engine.dll). The consumer writes using Stricture;.

Usage

// Architecture.cs in the consuming project
using Stricture;

[assembly: FolderStructure("Features", Pattern = "{feature}/{category}", Fallback = "Models")]
[assembly: FolderStructure("Platform", Pattern = "{area}/{category}",    Fallback = "Internal")]

[assembly: TypeFolder("Enumerations", Kind = TypeShape.Enum)]            // structural
[assembly: TypeFolder("Exceptions",   DerivesFrom = typeof(System.Exception))]
[assembly: TypeFolder("Requests",     EndsWith = "Request")]            // convention
[assembly: TypeFolder("Requests",     EndsWith = "Response")]           // same folder → co-location is legal
[assembly: TypeFolder("Models",       IsRecord = true)]

[assembly: OneTypePerFile]
[assembly: CoLocateBySuffix("Request", "Response")]

[assembly: DefaultVisibility(Visibility.Internal)]
[assembly: BanPackage("Moq", Message = "Use NSubstitute-free hand-written test doubles.")]

Adding a fact is one attribute instance (no code); adding a behavior is one small rule class in the engine. Rules are pure functions of a context object, so each is testable in isolation.

Severity

Every ARCHxxxx rule defaults to Warning so consumer builds stay green until you opt in. Escalate any rule to a build error in .editorconfig:

[*.cs]
dotnet_diagnostic.ARCH1001.severity = error

Diagnostics

ID	What it catches
`ARCH0001`	Invalid or contradictory configuration
`ARCH0002`	An internal rule error (isolated; never kills analysis)
`ARCH1001`	A top-level type in the wrong category folder
`ARCH1002`	A type whose path doesn't match its structure's pattern
`ARCH1003`	A public/internal nested type that should be promoted to its own file
`ARCH1010`	A concrete type named after its interface (`Foo : IFoo`)
`ARCH1020`	A public type that should be internal by default
`ARCH2001`	More than one top-level type per file
`ARCH2002`	Co-located types that mix suffix groups or have mismatched stems
`ARCH3001`	Usage of a banned type or namespace
`ARCH4001`	A reference to a banned assembly (package)

Scope

Per-assembly (single-compilation) rules only. Cross-assembly / whole-solution aggregation is out of scope for this version.

1.0.0	134	6/10/2026

1.0.0 — Initial release. Attribute-driven, per-assembly architectural rules (ARCH0001–ARCH4001): folder-structure layout (ARCH1001/1002), nested-type promotion (ARCH1003), interface-naming (ARCH1010), internal-by-default (ARCH1020), one-type-per-file and suffix co-location (ARCH2001/2002), and banned type/namespace/package usage (ARCH3001/4001), plus config validation (ARCH0001) and isolated rule-error reporting (ARCH0002). Ships the attribute library and the analyzer in a single package. All rules default to Warning; escalate to error per rule in .editorconfig.
