ACTIVATION PREREQUISITE: the request or discovered target must explicitly identify C#, .NET, `.cs`, or `.csproj`; otherwise stay dormant without invoking this skill. USE FOR: locating System.DateTime.Now/UtcNow, System.IO.File/Directory, System.Environment, HttpClient, Console, or Process usage in C#; auditing C# code for hard-to-test framework dependencies; or verifying those C# calls are already abstracted. DO NOT USE FOR: any target lacking the activation prerequisite; generating wrappers (use generate-testability-wrappers); migrating code (use migrate-static-to-wrapper); or general code review.

# Detect Static Dependencies

Scan a C# codebase for calls to hard-to-test static APIs and produce a ranked report showing which statics appear most frequently, which files are most affected, and which abstractions already exist in the .NET ecosystem to replace them.

## When to Use

- Auditing a project's testability before adding unit tests
- Understanding the scope of static coupling in a legacy codebase
- Prioritizing which statics to wrap first (highest-frequency wins)
- Creating a migration plan for incremental testability improvements

## Response Guidelines

- Scale the response to the user's request. A question about a specific category (e.g., "find time statics") should focus on that category with file locations and counts, not produce a full report across all categories.
