Make your code inclusive!

The Inclusiveness Analyzer is a Visual Studio extension that checks code for offensive / exclusive terms.

It also provides context on why a word is exclusive and suggests alternate terms that can be used instead.

As humans, we hold many unconscious and implicit biases that we rely on to react quickly to our environment and any novel stimuli. However, since the unconscious brain processes and reacts with speed, we sometimes speak quickly without thinking, which may cause us to slip offensive terms and stereotypes although we mean no malice.

In order to confront these biases that we see in ourselves and others, we must rewire ourselves to regularly use inclusive practices (such as the words we speak). If you don't intentionally and proactively include, you will unintentionally exclude.

Join our effort to push out exclusive terms and make inclusive terms a part of our everyday vocabulary!

Help us confront these biases by pushing out exclusive terms and making inclusive terms a part of our everyday vocabulary!

The Inclusiveness Analyzer can be added to any C# project. Just install using NuGet and start writing code. The extension will be automatically loaded in Visual Studio for anyone that opens your project. Using the NuGet package is best when you are working on a project with a team.

Get from NuGet

    Install-Package InclusivenessAnalyzer

Important Note: The Inclusiveness Analyzer is only used during development time and does not affect your projects outputs or binaries.

If you would like the Inclusiveness Analyzer to run on any Visual Studio project you can install the extension directly into Visual Studio.

Get from the Visual Studio Marketplace

Happy inclusive ❤️ coding!
