Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we get most often.

General

What is CodeCharter?

A deterministic code quality tool for .NET teams with a small LINQ-like DSL for custom rules and 126 built-in rules across 12 categories. More at What is CodeCharter?.

Does CodeCharter make code review obsolete?

CodeCharter enforces conventions that can be described deterministically — naming, architecture, layering, complexity thresholds, and async correctness. Code review remains for logic substance and edge cases.
