Summary

JetBrains has released Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, the latest early access preview of their C# IDE. This build introduces a non-modal startup screen for faster workflow initiation and new quality-check hooks that integrate with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. These hooks automatically run background tests (syntax checks, formatting analysis) on code edits made by external AI agents before the changes are finalized, improving code quality and catching errors early in the agentic programming workflow.

Rider now has newly bundled 'quality-check' hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds.

After Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting.
