What it does

Mcaf Dotnet Analyzer Config is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use a repo-root .editorconfig to configure free .NET analyzer and style rules. Use when a .NET repo needs rule severity, code-style options, section layout, or analyzer ownership made explicit. Nested .editorconfig files are allowed when they serve a clear subtree-specific purpose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/analyzer-config.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's AGENTS.md commands first.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Plain language and style rules. It works with .NET. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A .NET repo needs rule severity
  • Code-style options
  • Analyzer ownership made explicit

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-dotnet-analyzer-config”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg
    • dotnet

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires a .NET SDK-based repository; respects the repo's `AGENTS.md` commands first.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf Dotnet Analyzer Config loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 570 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MCAF: .NET Analyzer Config

Trigger On

  • the repo needs a root .editorconfig
  • analyzer severity and style ownership are unclear
  • the team wants one source of truth for rule configuration

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • choosing analyzers with no config change
  • formatting-only execution with no config ownership question

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • current .editorconfig
  • any Directory.Build.props overrides

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Prefer one repo-root .editorconfig with root = true.
  2. Add nested .editorconfig files when a subtree has a clear scoped purpose, such as stricter rules, different generated-code handling, or a different policy for tests or legacy code.
  3. Keep severity in .editorconfig, not scattered through IDE settings.
  4. Write the file as real EditorConfig, not as a made-up .NET variant:
    • lowercase filename .editorconfig
    • root = true in the preamble
    • no inline comments
    • forward slashes in globs
  5. Keep bulk switches such as EnableNETAnalyzers in MSBuild files, not in .editorconfig.
  6. Treat .globalconfig as an exceptional case, not the normal repo setup.

Bootstrap When Missing

If analyzer configuration is requested but not structured yet:

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg --files -g '.editorconfig' -g '.globalconfig'
    • rg -n "EnableNETAnalyzers|AnalysisLevel|AnalysisMode" -g '*.csproj' -g 'Directory.Build.*' .
  2. Create or normalize one repo-root .editorconfig with root = true.
  3. Move rule severity into .editorconfig and keep bulk analyzer switches in project or MSBuild config.
  4. Add nested .editorconfig files only when a subtree really needs different scoped policy.
  5. Run dotnet build SOLUTION_OR_PROJECT and return status: configured or status: improved.
  6. If the repo intentionally uses another documented analyzer-config ownership model, return status: not_applicable.

Deliver

  • one explicit analyzer configuration ownership model
  • a root .editorconfig layout that agents can extend safely
Show full SKILL.md (231 more words)Show less

Validate

  • rule severity is reproducible in local and CI builds
  • IDE-only settings do not silently override repo policy
  • the default path is a root .editorconfig, not a surprise alternative

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/analyzer-config.md first

Example Requests

  • "Make .editorconfig the source of truth."
  • "Write a proper root .editorconfig for this repo."
  • "Fix conflicting analyzer severities in this .NET repo."
